Canon Vixia HF S10

By (cnet.com)

Excellent video quality and performance ; nicely designed interface ; fast battery charging

No eye-level viewfinder ; expensive ; lens cover rattles when closed

An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, you may nevertheless pass on the Canon Vixia HF S10 because it lacks an eye-level viewfinder. And the identical--but cheaper, because it has no built-in memory--Vixia HF S100 may also be a better buy.

While Canon continues to offer compact AVCHD models, the Vixia HF20 and the...

Review: Canon Vixia HF S10 HD camcorder

By Jim Feeley (macworld.com)

The overall image quality, deep manual controls, and decent ease of use make Canon's Vixia HF S10 an excellent choice for both advanced and casual videographers.

Good overall video quality; deep and advanced manual controls

Mediocre battery life; no viewfinder

The camera's 1/2.6-inch CMOS imaging chip records 1080 horizontal lines of video; it records 1080i at 60 frames per second, 1080p at 30 frames per second, and 1080p at 24 frames per second. The camera includes 32GB of built-in flash memory and ...

Canon Vixia HF S10 review

By Mike Perlman (infosyncworld.com)

The wait is finally over for Canon's premiere Full HD camcorder beast. Check out our exclusive Canon Vixia HF S10 review here.

Great video quality in bright and low light. Built like a miniature tank. Oodles of shooting features, including Cine mode and multiple frame rates

Design has the potential to be more omnipotent. Certain low light environments are too noisy. Short battery life

That's not to say the Canon Vixia HF S10 is the camcorder to end all camcorders. From a design standpoint, the HF S10 looks as though Canon fused a 2.7-inch LCD onto the side of a giant lens barrel and called it a day. Aside from a sexy concoction of ...

"It's a very good camera for the money ~ 920 $ from inet"

By alex_sf (cnet.com)

1 Good picture quality, vivid colors

1 Menu bit tricky @ overcomplicated

"Simply the best."

By photolito (cnet.com)

The video quality of this camera is simply th... 

HD Video Quality, Excellent Microphone placement, sound is pretty good: better than expected, Lens is big, above average photos from a camcorder, big sensor, good grip, nice looks, HDMI, internal storage and sd, nice video light for night recording

No firewire, generic battery won't display time and always prompts for usage at beginning, no hdmi cable included, a bit expensive (but it's excellent value), there's so many features that it's a bit hard to control and understand

"Good, but audio not what I had hoped for."

By leware (cnet.com)

I bought this camcorder as a replacement for ... 

Feels solid, good video, very convenient

Basically the less-than-ideal sound quality. Absence of an electronic viewfinder (EVF). Instead of a remote control, I would have preferred an HDMI cable

Manufacturer's Description
