    Product Description

    Do you have or plan to have an HDTV at home? Now it's time to consider getting an HD camcorder. The stylish Canon HV10 gives you the ultimate in HD video and digital photo quality - in the world's smallest HDV camcorder. Its 10x optical zoom lens and 2.96 Megapixel CMOS image sensor ensure meticulous detail and superior color reproduction. And, with its HD and Standard Definition recording modes, you can make the move to HD without making your SD equipment obsolete. If you're an expecting parent or an avid traveller, this video camcorder gives you the opportunity to record images in both 4:3 standard and 16:9 widescreen modes from 480 to 1080p display. The small size makes it easy to carry from one place to another. This camcorder is engineered for you and discretning videographers. It is the first consumer-level camcorder that features Canon's Super-Range Optical Image Stabilization to help deliver smooth, steady video, even at longer focal lengths. The system uses two detection methods (gyro and vector) to sense the widest range of vibrations from hand-held shake, to vibration from a moving vehicle. By using optical stabilization, it can compensate for a greater degree of camera shake and avoid any loss in image quality, unlike electronic image stabilizers. CMOS sensor assures single sensor HD and longer battery life. Unit Dimensions - 2.2 x 4.1 x 4.2 inch / Weight (not including lens and battery pack) - 0.97 lb The HV10 is easy to use and delivers the high level of performance you've come to expect from Canon. It's the premium quality camcorder that sophisticated and discerning videographers have been waiting for.

    Great Camera !!!
     
    Review Date: August 19, 2008
    Reviewer: Florida Joe,
    I've owned this camera for some time now and have found it to be an outstanding camera in every way. I have not written a review on it until now. Yesterday I fell into a stream in the Great Smokey Mountains while filming grandchildren. Need I say I thought it was "history" for the camera. To make a long story short, in between a few emails to Canon's very good custmer support, I found a way to return the camera for possible repair when I returned home. In the meantime, the Canon slowly dryed out as functions became normal. Now, about 24 hours after my unscheduled swim, the camera still has a bit of a problem with the LCD monitor but it is back up and working! Now your experience might be different and maybe I am just a lucky guy, but I cannot say enough good about this camera. It is fantastic! It is small enough to carry in your pocket. Had I carried another larger camera on a recent trip to Egypt I would never have taken it along for a ride on a camel. The Canon made the trip and we have some super shots of the pyramids from aloft the camel!

    One last point. Some may have wondered about compatibility with the Apple operating system. (The above narrative describing this camera mentions Windows but not Apple.) I have found no problem whatsover transferring footage from the Canon to my Apple G4 via the firewire connection.
    for family use

    The HV10 produces some great video. Fits my hand well and is easy to use. It uses the older DV tapes, but still has great video quality.

    FOR ALL YOU FOLKS OUT THERE WHO HAVE HD TV'S YOU WON'T REGRET GETTING THIS CAMCORDER. THE VIDEO IS CLEAR ,SHARP AND COLOURFULL. I HAVE TRIED THREE OTHER CAMCORDRERES SONY,SAMSUNG AND OTHERS AND NONE COME EVEN CLOSE TO THE PICTURE QUALITY OF THIS UNIT......got it for 595.00 shipped from amazon

    PROS
    excellent video quality
    sharp video
    good lowlight video quality
    built in video light
    very portable
    lightweight
    high definiton playback up to 1080i



    CONS
    NO PREPACKAGED HD CONVERSION SOFTWARE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN HD EDITING....however a free downloadable program called HDVsplit allows you to import HDV files directlly from the camcorder also you will need another program called ffdshow for the HD codecs so you can edit it using windows media encoder
