The Canon HF10 Camcorder is a high definition model with a small and robust body, even thought it is made from plastic it feels strong and solid. The rounded body is nice to hold and feels light in comparison to some. The controls are well positioned and are large enough to operate easily even though it is a small body. The 2.7" LCD screen flips out which we like although it does seem to be quite long but displays a good image clearly.
Features
Canon attempt to cram every feature possible into their products, aiming to deliver amazing results every time, and they have definitely done that with the Canon HF10. A full high definition resolution of 1920x1080 records your images which is the same as that on HDTV's so viewing your images will be spectacular. Other features include dual flash memory with 16GB internal memory and memory card, Canon HD Camera system which is a combination of a 12x video lens with a 3.3MP Full HD CMOS Sensor and the DIGIC DV III processor, Instant AF and Super Range OIS, 3.1MP still photos and a multi angle vivid LCD.
 Performance
The first thing we notice about the Canon HF10 is how comfortable it sits in your hand with all the necessary controls in all the right places. Its a joy to hold and feels great. It records just over 2 hours of AVCHD video at a maximum of 17 Mbps or upto 6 hours at 5Mbps. Images were extremely impressive and the optical image stabilisation did its job superbly as images were sharp and clear and had no sign of blur or camera shake. Battery life was good and we managed to squeeze a good hour from the battery included which was good at high quality.
 
Overall Opinion
We really liked the canon HF10 HD Camcorder and were more than pleased with the results it provided. Images were amazing and the usability was very good too. Canon have done well once again in creating a well performing and highly specified, but still easy to use camcorder. See also the Canon HF100 High Definition Camcorder.

Canon HF10 review

The Canon HF10 definitely deserves a spot on your short list of potential homemovie camcorders. This dual flash memory combines 16GB of builtin flash memory and a slot for SDHC. Its performance is above average for its class, and footage retains a significant amount of detail.. read
