Great family documentary camera, not so much for wannabe film makers.:
I had HF10 for almost half a year, and I must say I know most of the pros and cons of this camera. I've studied it back and forth and tried to figure out what this camera truly offers. Pros: Lots of manual controls (shutter speed, aperture, exposure, frame rate (24p, 30p, 60i)) Mic out port, Easy to use interface, Good zooming control. Plenty of space for AVCHD format. Cons:
Now, Cons I'm listing might be more specific than Pros, but it's only because I have expected a lot from this camera.... more info
Good camcorder with bad user manual:
I'm happy with this camcorder. Gives impressive video quality. It's also good for still photography if your digital camera battery dies. I did it sometime & I can say picture quality is too impressive. It does not have good wind filter. Its not too bulky but also not too compact. Lastly, downloading still pictures to computer is tough as we don't do it regularly and the manual does provide steps in detail. Its frustrating. Overall a good camcorder.
Great little camcorder:
So far I really enjoy this little camcorder and its features. Its picture quality is very good and it has a lot to offer. The only thing is that I do not yet have a blue ray player so the pictures that I view are only DVD quality. The one negative issue is the bundled software that goes with it. The Imagemixer 3 has some flaws especially when trying to create a movie with effects. If you include a title on your Imagemixer 3 project, the system will not save the project. I wish Canon would find better... more info
great camera, terrible software and instructions:
This camera is reasonably easy to operate and makes great video but do not buy this camera unless you are really computer and software savvy. The "pixela" software that comes with the camera is horrible! It is far from intuitive to figure out how to use it and the directions suck. I haven't been able to figure out any other product that works for getting the video clips onto my computer. I'm so frustrated with this thing that it is now mostly a very expensive paperweight.
