Comments:
Canon's first camcorder with a hard disk drive makes its debut. Is James Morris impressed?

Review Verdict: Although the HG10 doesn't bowl us over quite as much as the HV20, it's still an impressive piece of kit. Sony's lower end HDR-SR5E undercuts it on price considerably, but misses out key features such as a standard-sized accessory shoe. The more fully feat

Comments:
At first glance, the HG10 might look rather out-of-place in this line-up, but it has several features that could make it suitable if your HD video-production needs are modest and occasional.

Review Verdict: The HG10's sister product, the HV20, has become the entry-level HDV camcorder of choice, and its HV30 successor looks set to continue that. The HG10 is essentially a tapeless version. If you need to record hours of HD video for test shoots, it's a good va

Review : Canon HG10 HDD Camcorder

Comments:
This camcorder is one of the latest versions that record to an internal hard drive, thus increasing the capacity vastly over other storage methods. It can of course also record still images onto an SD card.

Review Verdict: The optical zoom is 10x and should you believe in it up to 200x digital zoom. In still image mode you can choose from 2048x1536, 1920x1080, 1440x1080, 848x480 and 640x480

Comments:
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

Review Verdict: If you're in the market for an HDD camcorder, the Canon HG10 is the best on the market. If you're in the market for an AVCHD camcorder, the HG10 offers the highest video quality we've seen so far. At an MSRP of $1299, you're certainly paying dearly for th

SimplyDV Review: Canon HG10 AVCHD Camcorder

Comments:
With its large CMOS imaging chip, 40GB hard disc drive, superb lens, 10x optical zoom, 2.7" LCD and heaps of functionality, is the HG10 as good as AVCHD high definition can possibly get?

Review Verdict: 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 doesnâ-'t suffer from low-noise artefacts in the way that its major competitors do....

Comments:
Whether you're in the market for a new camcorder for that trip of a lifetime or are a newcomer thinking of getting into video blogging, there's plenty of choice when it comes to how (and in which format) you record your home movies.

When we recently gave Canon's HR10 AVCHD cam a workout and were seriously impressed by what it offered for the relatively small asking price of £600. This time around it's the turn of its higher specified brethren, the HG10.

Canon HG10 Camcorder Review

The Canon HG10 is perhaps the most compelling of a new format of camcorders, called AVCHD. Simply put, AVCHD has freed high definition video from tape-based media, allowing it to be captured to DVD, hard disk drive (HDD), and flash memory - all formats th
