I have a Sony DV with Hi8 tapes. It is a little bit dated. I bought Canon HF10 2 months ago. It is great. Image quality is amazing. Very easy to use. Build-in memory. You can always buy one memory card to double the memory size. It is very quiet when filming. DivX can play AVCHD files. Editing, you need the software with the camera or buy one.
Amazing camera...and some love for the software October 10, 2009

I have had this camera for almost a year now and love it. I can echo all of the other great things said about his unit by others, but the bottom line is that it takes incredible hi-def video, it's easy to use, and it's small enough to fit in a closed hand.
I use this camera primarily to record my two teenage children's rock concerts. Most of this is done in low light, and the sound quality (I did invest in their external microphone which sits nicely in the shoe on top) and video are stunning in hi-def. I copy the videos to a 1TB drive on my home network and access them through the PS3 player and show them on a 60 inch plasma. It is truly amazing and people who see it can't believe I took the videos myself.
The software provided by PIXELA, ImageMixer 3SE, gets a very bad rap in all the reviews I have seen on Amazon. However, if you are like me and want to a) export video to .mov files for posting on YouTube, b) want to do minor edits/splicing of files together, and c) burn DVDs to give to family, friends, etc, this software works fine. Of course the raw video AVCHD is difficult to work with and it takes a couple of hours to burn a DVD for the first time (which is true of any software you use), but I find this software highly intuitive and not difficult to use for the above tasks. If you take the time to run through the software manual, which is as good as any I've seen for such software, you can be doing the three functions above in no time. Now if you want to get fancy around menus, effects, etc, then of course you need to invest in some other high powered application, but frankly I think there are diminishing returns on that investment. Most people who are not professionals want DVDs that can play in any DVD player or computer, with a simple main menu and no fuss or complications. This software delivers that. Another thing is does very well and easily is allow you to capture frames into .jpg files. I don't think these are "print worthy" photos, but they are more than adequate for posting on-line, and the software allows you to move frame by frame to capture exact seconds in your video.
Full disclosure--I have no affiliation or allegiance to PIXELA, in fact I have never heard of them before I bought this camera.
All in all, this is camera is huge winner.

I don't have a lot to say about this camera that has not already been covered in other reviews. other than the fact that it has performed as advertised. You can see some of the High Definition results on You Tube at DanoManno. The proof is in the viewing.
Small. Good features. Gorgeous picture. August 2, 2009

Don't feel like saying much, just want to get my five-star vote recorded! I've owned this a year and would absolutely buy it again.

I purchased this Canon hd cam.............after first getting a jvc hd cam.and then returning it I did not care for the quality of the JVC HD Cam, After I saw the quality comparison between the jvc hd camcorder and the canon vixa HF10...........the Canon picture quality was breathtaking.the vivid color,Crispness..and quality ...of each shot and scene, Was as good as any movie on HD TV......
canon really dominates the HD Camcorder market in my opinion......If you purchase the Hf 10.I suggest that you purchase the Corel video studio pro..software.............As the software that comes with the canon cam........would make a good coffee cup coaster.......
