Included "digital video software" is only for stills

The included "digital video software" is only for still images! There's a QuickTime logo on the camera but the movies are in no way compatible with QuickTime. There is no Firewire DV output. A "Corel" disc is included but it doesn't run on my computer and...

Best hard drive camcorder ever

I have been using camcorders since 1985 and have used almost every possible format available for the consumer. As of Oct. 2007, I can firmly say that this is by far the best camcorder ever, in terms of the picture quality, convenience, and the price. Alth...

Very good video

I've had this camera for a couple of weeks, I've tried it indoors, at night, outdoors under bright sun. The image quality is superb. I was using it to shoot some scenes at an amusement part, and the videos are good, I was worried about the motion artifact...

Works well with Leopard

Import works great with the latest version of iMovie on a Mac. Transfers are fast thanks the hard drive. Editing and transfer to other formats (AppleTV) are very convenient but then my Mac is very fast. I was nervous going with the hard drive over tape bu...

Awesome camera for the Normal User

Great upgrade

I just got it - love it. Will start converting all of my DVC video to DVD's and from now on its High Definition for me! This is a very compact unit, installed immediately and worked with iMovie 08 via USB no problem on my Mac OSX computer. Unable to use...

First impressions review

The camcorder arrived about a week ago and I have played with it a little bit. I agree that the video quality is very good - but I have to disagree that it is as good as off-the-air HD TV. I wasn't expecting it to be that good and it is not. I have use...

good for a deal

I bought this item for my wife and it exceeds what she really needs it for, I got her this because I want to use it as well. I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a night vision mode but I can live with out that, it would be nice to be abl...

Outstanding Camcorder

The Canon HG-10 is a superb follow-on to the top rated and highly acclaimed Canon HV-20. We could not be happier. This is a gem of a camcorder. Obviously each reviewer has their own specific reasons for purchasing such an advanced camcorder. This is ou...
