Canon Vixia HF S10

By (cnet.com)Read the full review

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...

Canon Vixia HF S10 Camcorder Review

By Kaitlyn Chantry (camcorderinfo.com)Read the full review

The Vixia HF S10 is one of three "flagship" camcorders released by Canon this year. It doesn't have the updated stabilization or the increased capacity of the recently released HF S11. However, it offers the same excellent performance, while giving ...

Simple controls, Professional Results!"

For the price, you are getting one of if not ... 

I love the fact that is is totally digital and full 1080p HD results. It has a built in 32GB memory and I bought a 32GB SD memory card for the memory slot. You can choose to store video on one and photos on the other! I can shoot hours of video

When you "pan" around with the camera, since it is digital, there is a little noise until you steady on your subject but the effect is negligible. This camera simply shoots the best digital images I have seen on a consumer product

Canon VIXIA HF S10

By SC20 (cnet.com)Read the full review

For the price, you are getting one of if not the best consumer digital video camera on the market. Canon has put some great optics on an already well built solid state chassis. Hands down this camera rocks and worth every penny!
