Canon HG10 High Definition (HD) Video Camcorder

Reviewed By Our Editors

Delivering more than what is expected of a compact, newly-designed camcorder, the Canon HG10 high definition (HD) video camcorder stores files in its 40GB hard disk drive, has 10x optical zoom and 200x digital zoom. The camcorder has a 2.7-inch LCD screen to help you capture the best moments and has an advanced video codec high definition format to give you amazing image reproduction. These advanced features, all enclosed in a small camcorder, do not give you a chance to miss all the important moments.

The 1.1lb Canon masterpiece offers its in-house developed full HD 1/2.7-inch CMOS sensor and advanced DIGIC DV II image processor. In a CMOS sensor, each pixel has its own charge-to-voltage conversion, and has high noise immunity and low static power consumption. The CMOS sensor also has RGB primary color filter to help maintain and intensify red, blue and green details in every image. The DIGIC DV processor, on the other hand, delivers great image quality, enhanced responsiveness and long battery life. It also has a large buffer and offers fast processing speed. The camcorder is designed with an Instant AF feature that provides accurate auto focusing at a very fast speed. Its SuperRange optical image stabilization feature, meanwhile, supports a wider range of camera motions, and corrects blurred movements so that while you are chasing a subject or on a moving vehicle the result will still be crystal-clear.

The Canon HG10 supports 1920x1440-pixel still images in 4:3 mode and 1920x1080-pixel images in widescreen mode. It shoots and records videos at 1920x1080 pixels, and saves them in ACVHD format. Canon also allows you to choose the quality of every recording, to better maximize recording time. It records five to nine hours of high-quality video and 11 hours of standard video. Having a 10x optical zoom, the camcorder enables you to take videos from a considerable distance and still get clear, crisp results. The camcorder has 6.1mm to 61mm focus and has instant AF, through-the-lens and manual focus if you want to experiment with different themes or if you’re aiming for cinematic effect. It also has 1/2000 shutter speed. The amateur videographer in you would have fun experimenting with its many features, including white balance control (daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent and shade). To set the mood for a video, you could use several shooting modes like sunset, TV, portrait, snow, beach, fireworks, night and spotlight.

Bundled with the HG10 are a BP-2L13 battery pack, a compact power adapter, a stereo/video cable, a wireless controller, a USB cable and a component cable.

The camera itself a high quality product that is worth the price. It is intuitvely easy to use, however, the video transfer and editing process is a complicated and convoluted mess. Canon should really fix that part.

PRO: The little camera is a very good buy and it has exceeded my expectations. It is a very fine little jewel of a camera for either still or video photography. CON: I have no idea what Canon was thinking bundling that treeible software with this fine camera. The softwre is so poor that I simply went and bought a system that works. I cannot praise the camera enough and I cannot knock the software selection more. Simply put it is crap

What You Should Know
MEGAPIXELS AND PHOTO PRINT SIZE
The photo print quality of your images depends on the camera's "megapixel rating." The higher number of pixels your camera has, the higher the resolution (or sharpness) of your images---and the larger your prints can be without quality loss.

Digital Camera Flash Storage Capacities
* Average file size using cameras highest resolution JPEG mode. Actual number of photos, songs, and minutes will vary depending on camera/device model, format resolution and compression, usable capacity, and bundled software. Actual usable memory capacity may vary. 1MB equals 1 million bytes; 1GB equals 1 billion bytes.

NUMBER OF IMAGES STORED ON A DIGITAL CARD
The number of pictures you can take varies depending on your camera model and complexity of the scene being photographed. To calculate how many pictures your card can hold, divide the capacity of your card by the average file size of your images. For example, if you have a 256MB card, and use a camera that has an average file size of 1.2MB, then 256 divided by 1.2 gives you approximately 213 pictures. As you change modes on your camera, the number of images will increase if you shoot in a lower resolution mode, and decrease if you shoot in a higher resolution mode.
