Product Review Summary: HD quality video without complexity !

The Canon Vixia HF S10 is a revolution in domestic HD video making.

This camera immediately puts you in a position to make remarkable and pleasing video recordings. The outstanding performance of the optics (lens and focussing) allows you to create stunning images from extreme close up, to razor sharp images of distant objects.

The arrangements of buttons, connectors and view screen are simple and helpful without being over-fussy.

To take your images and make a TV playable copy (DVD), you will need to buy some extra software and this was the only dissapointment for me. However, it is understandable that Canon do not want to get involved with processing the images that this amazing camera produces.


Product Review Summary: Awesome Camera But the camera is NTSC only

Very good Camera.. Very user friendly..

But I don't like:
- There is no charger. You can charge the battery using the camera.
- The Camera is NTSC there is no PAL if you are planing to use it on Europe or Middle east ..

Product Review Summary: Great Camcorder - Lousy Extraction

The Canon Vixia HFS10 is by far the best camcorder that I have used, but it sits unused after I ran into one essential problem. You cannot extract the videos off the camcorder with standard and professional software - such as Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 or Adobe Elements. You can try iMovie but I spent 5 hours extracting a 3 minute clip. So, once you use the internal flash memory - you're stuck. In order to record more, you must delete everything and cannot preserve anything.

Is it fair to blame Canon? Yes. Or is this Adobe's problem? Yes. I blame both. I blame Canon because the software that they provide with your purchase does not extract videos (only the pictures). I blame Adobe (and others) because they are supposed to be the best. I blame both because after one year - neither has fixed the problem so don't count on quick resolutions. Every company blames the other.

My point: Stay away from this Camcorder unless you are were lucky enough to do video editing with Final Cut Pro (which works). However, I find it ridiculous that I would have to spend an additional $1000 to get video off a $800 camcorder.

Product Review Summary: Horrible if you care about audio

I bought this camera about 5 months ago because I heard the picture quality was great, which it is, but I also was intending on taking advantage of the 1/8th inch mic input in order to use a shotgun mic. Every time I use this feature an extremely loud beeping noise goes off when the access light blinks. Really really apparent and impossible to get any good audio. Other people seem to have the same problem: [...] . The audio attenuator helps a little but doesn't eliminate the problem. I called Canon and they basically said "that's how the camera is supposed to work." What?! Thanks Canon. Go with the Sony consumer HDs. I've never had any problems with them.

Product Review Summary: Very good camera as well as camcorder

I use this camera to produce YouTube videos. I use them to promote books that I have written. This camera does a very good job. It allows you to attach an external mic, which is very important for the lav mic that I use. You can also buy cannon attachments that fit to the top of the camera and allow them more direct access to the camera than other third party add-ons. It is also a very advanced digital camera. I am quite happy using it in place of my digital camera when I take it outside.
