This Canon camcorder really is a quality piece of kit. I have used a Panasonic SD5, but would put the HG10 well above it in terms of build quality, features, and video output. Some reviewers have criticised the ergonomics but after using the Canon over a short period of time I find my hands seem automatically find the start stop button and that lovely zoom rocker - no other camcorder in this price range seems to have such a great zoom rocker.
I was a little concerned that camcorderinfo gave the 25p mode a bad right up and was keen to do my own assessment. I videoed a fast moving train travelling at about 60-70mph and played it back on the camcorders LCD - the shot looked absolutely smooth -non of the jerkyness that camcorderinfo reviewer reported. I then loaded this onto my computer and played it with WMP, sure enough it was jerky and the sound was broken . I then loaded it into Studio 11+ and played it in the monitor window - it was as smooth as silk. What is happening is that WMP is using Pinnacles codec for MT2 files badly. WMP cannot, on its own play Mt2 files and is borrowing the codec. I think the reviewer should have realised something like this was happening - he is after all an expert?
For about 90% of the time I'm sure I will use the camcorder in Auto mode, and so far I have been really impressed with its performance. I took a video of the inside of our house just moving from room to room and the shots are extremely impressive - the Panasonic could not match the Canon for low light performance. In average daylight the shots are fantastic - very sharp and good rich colour.
One of the main features I particulary like is the ability to shoot using the LCD or the viewfinder - how many camcorders have both. I find it much easier to hold a steady shot with the viewfinder, combine this with the excellent optical image stabalizer and your on to a winner.
Concerns regarding the resolution of 1440 x 1080 are being over played. the camcorder records at 1920 x 1080 but compresses to 1440. when played it fills the TV screen to full HD - its all about what you see on screen and you won't be disappointed. Despite the fact there are new models being introduced by all major manufacturers I decided to purchase the HG10 after extensive research - somehow Canon seem to have got it right with this one.

If you want to spend hours or days or even weeks trying to get a video camera to work with your computer,then buy this model.But then,you'll have to buy a new screen and possibly a new computer also.Is it worth it?No,buy a different make!
It made me laugh that Amazon accepts video reviews.Try making one with a Panasonic SDR-H40!

Not as good as flip, 2009-01-01
I got this for an Xmas gift, and was overall disappointed. For starters, it did not arrive with the 2GB sim card as mentioned (And this was clearly mentioned on the packaging as not included). The screen display is grainy and has no contrast. Probably the worst thing is that the zoom function can only be adjusted prior to recording which is pretty pointless. Overall I expected a lot more for £40. I would advise to spend more and get a flip or better quality camera.

Excellent Camera for a Fantastic Price, 2007-11-12
I bought this camera recently with the arrival of our first child to be able to record general bits and pieces as all new dad's do!
For the cost I wasn't expecting a great deal but I've been really surprised at how easy and well this camcorder performs.
For someone who just wants to take general video of 'stuff' you really can't do much better than this for the price, a friend of mine was a bit dismissive of it however he's a professional and spends more on his kit than most people do their houses but for the price he had to conceed it certainly does the job!

Neat, 2008-03-24
Bought this for my stepson, and he's very pleased with it. His band are recording their first album for their new record label, and he came home for the Easter break with a load of clips, most of them taken inside and all very clear (it comes with an AV lead so you can play clips through your TV). The resolution is fine for video; it's about the same as standard analogue TV pictures. It doesn't look jerky either.

He did find that the batteries that came with the camera lasted about 5 minutes, but 'proper' AAs and/or rechargeables have been fine; it's not a fault with the camera. The fact that it uses standard AAs is very handy.

It also feels a bit flimsy, but I think that's at least partly just due to a lack of moving parts. And at this price, you can't complain.
