 excellent camcorder, lousy software August 12, 2010

I love my camcorder but I had to buy $100 desktop software to be able to easily make DVD home movies. The software that comes with the camcorder is worthless.
Everything you could want in a camera. April 11, 2010

Great camera!!! Has too many features & controls to list AND it comes with an EASY BUTTON. The easy button puts the camera on full auto. All you have to do is point and shoot.If you are a real video phobe you can make all sorts of adjustments to do just about anything you want. If you are an amateur with the easy button you can shoot great videos. If you are more advanced you can tweak the video in many many ways. I am thrilled with this camera.
 Great family documentary camera, not so much for wannabe film makers. March 3, 2010

I had HF10 for almost half a year, and I must say I know most of the pros and cons of this camera. I've studied it back and forth and tried to figure out what this camera truly offers.
Pros: Lots of manual controls (shutter speed, aperture, exposure, frame rate (24p, 30p, 60i)) Mic out port, Easy to use interface, Good zooming control. Plenty of space for AVCHD format.
Cons:
Now, Cons I'm listing might be more specific than Pros, but it's only because I have expected a lot from this camera.
1. Inconvenient manual focus control.
A small jog lever on the left of the screen is the manual focus controller. Newer models have a small wheel attached to the front of the camera nowadays, but this control is very inaccurate and pointless.
2. Sharpness of picture. I was very surprised to see how the picture looked very bad when I played back on my computer. Lots of ghosting, blurred edges, and Not-so-vibrant color. the LCD on the camera makes everythinng look so nice and beautiful, however the actual result on the computer monitor is quite the contradictory.
3. Ghosting, ghosting, ghosting.
When I would pause at any moment during a filmed video, a heavy ghosting occurs. This can be solved by de-interlacing, however the process is very complex and a typical user would not know what to do unless they really understand the logic of encoding... Plus AVCHD is a compressed file format, so when it's uncompressed, the file size is humongous (18 sec clip was 45mb in AVCHD, uncompressed was near 500Mb.)
4. Weirdness hidden behind the frame rate.
Now, when you film regardless of which option you choose on the camera (24p, 30p, 60i) when it shows up on the computer, it will always show as 29.97fps. This is due to the AVCHD format's nature that it records under the frame rate you choose, but overwrites as 29.97fps. A "pulldown" needs to be done in order to truly extract what you've filmed... Quite pain in the butt, I must admit.
This is all I could think of so far. If you have any questions about the camcorder, feel free to reply and I will try to answer.
 Good camcorder with bad user manual February 14, 2010

I'm happy with this camcorder. Gives impressive video quality. It's also good for still photography if your digital camera battery dies. I did it sometime & I can say picture quality is too impressive. It does not have good wind filter. Its not too bulky but also not too compact. Lastly, downloading still pictures to computer is tough as we don't do it regularly and the manual does provide steps in detail. Its frustrating. Overall a good camcorder.
Great little camcorder January 16, 2010

So far I really enjoy this little camcorder and its features. Its picture quality is very good and it has a lot to offer. The only thing is that I do not yet have a blue ray player so the pictures that I view are only DVD quality. The one negative issue is the bundled software that goes with it. The Imagemixer 3 has some flaws especially when trying to create a movie with effects. If you include a title on your Imagemixer 3 project, the system will not save the project. I wish Canon would find better software. Also be aware that when you put your movies on DVD make sure it is a DVD-R disc and NOT a DVD+R disc. It doesn't work in that format. It took me about 2 hours to figure that out but when I called Canon, they helped me a lot. Canon's tech support was very helpful. All in all, this is a nice little camcorder
