    This Camera only has one flaw that I've found in the 2 years of shooting with it and that is in very loud concert environments (near loudspeakers) the vibration shuts down the hard drive for secounds at a time. Other then that the camera is great. Manual focus takes getting used to and sucks compared to traditional lens ring. For the price this camera is unmatched. I purchased the canon dm-50 microphone 2 aftermarket batteries a micro sd card (to store still photos)and also canon's wide angle lens. I use Corel software to edit, upload videos to you tube, and make DVDs. Would I buy this camera again? In a heart beat very very dependable and no tape hassles!
    Good item

    A bit bulky, in a fair condition, some scratches since it is refurbished. But it definitely works.

    Reviewer: Craig A. Glomstead,
    I think the hg 10 is a great camcorder for anyone who is interested. I bought this for shooting videos with my friends and it works great for that. If you want a proffesional camera I suggest you buy something else, but if you want a good quality camera you can dork around with, than this is for you. The only three things I found wrong with it were that the editing software that comes with it is absolutely terrible. It was so bad I was forced to pay another forty dollars to buy a editing software that accually works. Another problem is that the picture quality for some odd reason, sucks at night or in any dark areas. If you are going to be using your camecorder in lowlight situations, than I suggest you buy another one because the hg10 doesnt even have a nightime setting, the only thing close to that is a light you can turn on and off, but the light only really works within 8 feet. The last issue I had with the hg10 is that the sound quality on the mic really sucks, espesialy in windy conditions which cause the mic to only pick up loud fumbling sounds. If you are going to be using the hg 10 outside, at distances greater than 10 ft or for recording music than I suggest you get an external mic, but If you are just taping indoors at close distances, I dont think you will need one. I bought the canon dm 50 and It works really great for the conditions I use it in. So far I am mildly pleased with the hg10 and It has been working pretty good for me so far.
    Fantastic Hard Drive Camcorder

    Reviewer: Corey L. Bishop,
    I've had this camcorder for about 2 years. It captured the births of both my children and countless pictures and home movies of them both. I've taken my HG10 on a trip to Africa where it went on two safaris, photographed waterfalls, wildlife, & remote villages. I've taken it to Europe and Mexico. So, I think I've established I have lot of experience with the camera.

    I have never had a problem either recording movies or taking pictures. It's never failed me. The battery life is long. I can get about two days or so of heavy use without a recharge. The video quality is fantastic high definition. One surprise for me is the high quality still pictures it takes. It's taken the place of my digital still camera ever since I bought it. The 40 GB hard drive is great. Since I've had the camera, I've never needed to clean off my videos. I do back them up regularly, though.

    It's also quite compact and light. Easy to travel with.

    Really, there are only a few downsides:
    1) The camera records to AVCHD files. While software support is better than when I first bought the camera, these files are still not supported by some editing software. And since it's HD, the files get large fast. So, you need a fairly powerful computer to work easily with the files. One good thing is that YouTube accepts AVCHD (.mts) files directly now. I used to have to convert them.
    2) Still photos are only saved on a microSD card. They aren't saved on the hard drive. It's not a huge issue. It's just weird that I have this huge hard drive, but can't save still pictures on it.

    Bottom line. Great camera. I'm very happy with it. If this one ever dies, I'd by another one or the next version.
