Canon HG10

(01/04/08)
Summary: The HG10 certainly has its work cut out, with competitors on their second or third generations, but a quick glance at the HG10's specifications shows immediate promise. It has the same 1/2.7in sensor with 2.96 megapixels as the HV20, the same lens, and matching optical image stabilisation. Read the full review

Canon HG10


Summary: This cam captures full HD footage to a 40GB hard drive and can store up to 5hr 30min of footage at maximum resolution. At £800, it's certainly more expensive, but then it offers so much more, as we'll find out...The HG10 seems to manage the conjuring act of offering everything that the HR10 did that was good and improving upon everything...

Canon HG10 AVCHD Camcorder


Summary: The AVCHD system might entail heavy compression, but the results from the CMOS imaging device are stunning; colour, contrast and resolution are excellent and the cam doesn’t suffer from low-noise artefacts in the way that its major competitors do. Not only is the HG10 a joy to use with easily accessible record and playback controls, but... Read the full review

Canon HG10 Camcorder Review

(09/08/07)
Summary: The Canon HR10 is a looker, both in person and by the specs sheet. Despite the first class pedigree of the imaging system (identical to the HV20), we were still skeptical of the AVCHD codec, which has given other manufacturers problems with motion. Aside from some issues with 24P performance, it appears Canon has succeeded again. The HG10... Read the full review
