Product Description
Now that you're moving to HDTV it's natural to shoot high-def videos. Canon HR10 raises the bar for HD delivering very best performance with incredible ease of use. Capture amazing HD detail and color reproduction on 3? DVD discs and view it on a HD Blu Ray DVD Player. Complete your high definition home theater experience by creating the look and feel of Hollywood movies with the 24P Cinema Mode and achieve critical focus with the Instant AF autofocus mode. The HR10 offers the unparalleled combination of Canon's exclusive SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer to stabilize a wide range of movements, a built-in video light to easily shoot in dark settings, and the new 2.7? Multi-Angle Vivid LCD Screen to view from various angle with true color representation and contrast. The HR10 is Canon's first AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) DVD camcorder. AVCHD uses an MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video codec, recording true 1080 High Definition resolution video. An advantage of the AVCHD format is that it captures twice as much video using less storage onto DVDs which play in AVCHD compatible Blu-ray disc players. Making this new technology even more convenient to use is the HR10's compact size. Measuring only 2.6" wide, 3.7" high and 5.2" deep, it's a very small AVCHD Format DVD Camcorder. Added to the HR10's handy size is the convenience of shooting high definition on DVD. No more fear of taping over precious moments by accident, since you can only record onto a blank section of the DVD. Package includes HR10 Camcorder; BP-214 Battery Pack (with Terminal Cover); CA-570 Compact Power Adapter; STV-100 N Stereo Video Cable; WL-D86 Wireless Controller; IFC-300PCU USB Cable; CTC-100 S Component Cable; DVD-R Disc; Digital Video Solution Disc for Windows and Macintosh; Corel Application Disc An HDMI cable is recommended but optional (not included). SD Slot for stills

 Great Camcorder January 1, 2009

I've had this camera for a few months now and so far no problems. There have been many events captured in HD - recitals, ball games, birthdays, etc. I have been able to use cheap DVD's (available here at Amazon). It records in HD. Recorded media (8cm. DVD-R's) is encoded in AVCHD and can be played directly using a bluray player.

Nice product April 24, 2008

I got this at a cheaper price, but the quality is worth the price. It has features, that most other camcoders doesn't have.
It uses a codec format, that stores HD media on non-HD media (like DVDs). Very Nice.
cheaper still November 17, 2008

i guess i got the best bargain at costco today for $330 period - thought i might have to return it as they didnt let me look at from the glass case - but with their return policy i got anyway - and reading all the 2007 reviews i guess i got a great buy during this horrible down turn - maybe i can record how the next great depression will be instead of listening to stories of my dad's ten cent a loaf of bread

I bought it last week.
It's a great camcorder, easy to use, very light and compact.
I'd wait to buy it for fews weeks if I knwe that the price was dropping...
 Surprisingly good but a bit outdated. November 2, 2009

Actually, it probably is outdated. The DVD format is not the most efficient way to go. But the quality of the shots I've gotten with this camera are awesome for the price I paid. I'm willing at this point to get the quality and do a little extra work in the post-production phase to convert the video.
It took a bit a bit to figure out the best way to get the video, in either SD or HD format off the disks and onto our editing machine. We used Any Video Converter (Free) to convert the files to a more editable format.
The quality of the camera when used with proper lighting is amazing for a single CMOS camera. It does have issues with poor lighting. It will become grainy, especially when working under red lights (like what we had in our haunted house).
The limited time that can be captured (especially under HD) per disk can be a problem if you just want to shoot all day long and not worry about changing disks. If you want to make webisodes/independent movies its not really that big of a problem if you manage disk space adequately and use DL disks.
There are also plenty of 37mm lenses that can screw onto the front of this thing but once it is attached BE CAREFUL. Its not a solid mounting system like you'd get with a prosumer/professional camera and I could image a good wack on the lens breaking the camera threads, lens and camera housing quite easily.
The two biggest things that I don't like are the lack of any support on Canon's website. I would have liked to have seen a firmware update available by now that would make increase the battery life, add additional presets, or improve focus detection. Not that any of those things are terrible now, but firmware updates can always make those things better.
The other problem that I have with the camera is that to capture pictures you'll need to buy a miniSD card. Not SD, SDHC, or even microSD...but miniSD. A dead format for cards. So if you buy this camera don't think that the plethora of SD cards you have laying around will cover you. You'll need to buy a miniSD card or two from Amazon at the same time.
