 Awesome! December 1, 2008
The best part is being able to randomly access the different recordings! No more tape to rewind/fast forward.
 An Okay Camara, with Some Usability Issues December 1, 2008
I bought the camara, and found that it is fairly easy to use.
I have some troubles with its software and manual.
1) The Manual cannot be openned up easily by Adobe PDF Reader 9.0, and got stuck constantly. As a result, I have to download another reader from other software vender to read manual.
2) I had a hard time to upload the video records from the camara to my PC, until I did a lot of research over Internet to find that I have to use AC power instead of battery to upload the recording.
I wasted about 6 hours to address these two issues. Other than that, everything seems working out okay.
Another complaint is that the battery life is too short (about 90 minutes).
A Superb High Definition Camcorder - More Options for Editing Now November 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I studied the various HD Camcorder options and after three months settled on the HF-10. I almost got the HF-11 (24 mbps vs 17-18 with HF-10). but the HF-10 is so good that it really suits my needs. Superb video, great focus and zooming, Plays back in 1080i through Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable on my 1080i HD LCD TV. Component output looks great also.
I have been doing video editing as a hobby for about 10 years and I was concerned about editing the AVCHD on my PC. I am still learning various ways to edit and produce a video and then play back. So far
1. I have used Pixella Imagemixer software to trim and do limited effects and write back to the HF-10 to play over the HD TV. Works OK but the editing software is not very capable.
2. I upgraded from Ulead Video Studio 11plus to Corel's Video Studio 12 Pro X2 (Corel bought Ulead) The new package is excellent with many capabilities. I have a pretty fast Intel Core Duo with 2 MBytes of RAM
I have: Authored a 45 minute video after capturing from HF-10 and burned to an DVD+R as an AVCHD DVD. It plays great on my SONY Blue Ray Player. I used the same editing project to output to a 1080p wmv file that took about 8 hrs to render. I also could burn a regular 480p DVD so those without Blue Ray could view the video.
I understand SONY Vegas is a good package. Also Pinnacle 12 might be OK I have heard, but I have had problems in the past with stability of Pinnacle's products.
Has anyone else tried other software for editing AVCHD on a PC. What is a good fast PC and how much faster can it render video compared to the fastest core duos? Has anyone seen any benchmarks?
Anyway, I am extremely pleased with the HF-10 and plan to use it a lot for a good while.
NTSC versus PAL November 25, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This seems a fantastic camcorder. Unfortunately, I cannot use it because it is not compatible with other equipments I have which use the PAL system. So, I had to return it. I was confused because I bought in the past other Canon products through amazon.com which have the possibility to switch between NTSC and PAL. The Canon VIXIA HF10 does not have this possibility. This said, I think it is a fantastic camcorder. Too bad that the product description available on line did not specify this important detail (NTSC versus PAL system usage)
Worth the money November 23, 2008

This is a great camera. Does everything I asked, and have created incredable videos of my grandkids. Makes professional quality videos. Software could use some tweaking, but I am sure that future versions will take care of that.
It is a camera worth the money.
