- Great quality and product.
- After a nightmare with Sony cameras, I've decided to go with Canon and I was very right. This camera is amazingly easy to understand. Canon did a great job with user interface. (If you ever had any Canon product, they all very consistent in term of user interface).
Quality is just outstanding. Having 16Gb build in and Flash makes it 32GB. I love the option of moving files back and forth between those two memories. Flash drive is definitely better and faster.
I have a mac and this camera couldn't be any friendlier than it is. Mac recognizes two Flash Drives as one for Photos and one for Videos so you not gonna import all in one mix media. All software works great with this camera.
If you been looking for simple, yet great camera, this is the one. Thank you Canon, you just earned yourself a loyal user. - 2008-07-21, 5 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Canon HF10: easy to use, small, light
- We wanted a camera and camcorder combined, that was portable and likely to be used all the time. The HF10 is great. We have already captured some great memories and find we use it everyday as it is small, light and easy to use. The colours it captures are pretty good too.

- good camera
- This is a good solid camera. My only complaint is that when viewed up close on an HD TV some video compression artefacts are visible. I don't know how this compares to other HD cameras using AVC, I assume most of them would have such artefacts as well. Other than that the image quality is really good.

- How to import video into iMovie on the Mac
- This is a marvelous camcorder. Rather than repeat what some of the other reviews have mentioned, I thought I'd explain how to import video on the Mac, because it wasn't obvious to me. First, you must have an Intel based Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). You also need iMovie '08, which comes with new Macs. If you're running an older version of Mac OS X (such as Tiger) or have an older version of iMovie, or have a PowerPC based Mac, you won't be able to import video from this camera.
To import video, attach the camcorder to the Mac with the USB cable that's included with the camcorder. Make sure you plug your camcorder into AC power, running from the battery won't work. Set the mode dial on the camera to video playback (the little blue camcorder icon). Turn on the camcorder. Now open the LCD display on the camcorder, and you'll see it's asking you a question: use the joystick to choose "computer" for where you're connecting the USB cable. I spent some time the first time I wanted to import wondering why iMovie couldn't see the camcorder until I finally tried opening the LCD screen and noticed this question. Once you've made this choice, iMovie will detect the camcorder and will be able to import video, and you can do the rest from iMovie. - 2008-07-17, 25 of 25 people found this review helpful, Rated:
