Finally an AVCHD Camcorder worth buying

I had the award-winning HDV (tape-based) HV20 prior to this, and the HF10 is almost indistinguishable in terms of image quality. Given the dramatic difference in image data between an HDV image and an AVC image, that means this is one heck of a camcorder...

OK overall.

This is my first HD camcorder so I can't really compare it to others. But my expectations of what a full 1920x1080 camcorder should be have not been met. I have shot scenes in both 1080/60i and 1080/30p at the highest quality possible - 17Mbps. The ima...

TERIFFIC

I will begin by saying that I am not an audiophile, a videophile, or a techie of any kind. I'm just an old geezer who loves to shoot event,travel,family,and video in general. My first video camera was a Sony Betamax about thirty years ago and I have owned...

If you are a Mac person .. you might keep looking.

I got mine Wed. 9 April ..took only a 2min vid to see what it looks like. I've been running Macs for 15+yrs ..currently an Intel iMac with latest OS and most popular apps: iMovie, Photoshop, etc.. and recently upgraded Final Cut Express (FCE) v.4 in antic...

Numerous quirks not mentioned in reviews

While I wanted to like this camera (and use it to replace my Canon HV10), the growing list of annoyances and downright bugs are making me doubt this purchase. I can't find too many faults with the technical aspects of the camera (which all the reviews on...

Awful Software

I like the camera alot. However, the camera is no good without software to download, transfer and edit. The Imagemixer software is terrible - it is very difficult to use, it comes with no documentation, and the Pixela technical support is awful. I am a...

Some Bad "Features" - Beware (updated)

Had the HF10 for about a month now. Here's a few things that dont get talked about much: 1. The built-in memory is basically useless. Its very slow and hard to get images and video off it. Go for the HF100 instead and buy some big SD cards. 2. If you ha...

Nice Camera for the Money

First I want to say that I'm an average Joe when it come to shooting video, I'm not a videophile or pretend to be an expert in filming. With that being said, here's my thoughts. Nice camera for the money. Video looks great! I think the indoor performan...

The best AVCHD camcorder, period!

Having read 4 EXCELLENT professional reviews (just google it to see them for yourself) on the HF10 before buying, I completely agree with what was said about this camcorder. It is simply amazing, in virtually every measure of performance! Beats ALL OTHER...
