spare media to hand. Record up to 6 hours of HD footage to 16Gb internal memory. Use SD/SDHC memory cards for extra capacity, or to share your movies with friends. Flash memory allows for an incredibly compact design that's small enough to carry in your pocket. Since flash memory involves no moving parts, your precious memories are better protected against knocks and bumps. The HF10 records 1920x1080 Full HD video - matching the resolution of Full HD TVs for the best possible picture quality. Enjoy superior quality HD video via the combination of unique Canon technologies: a Canon HD Video Lens with 12x optical zoom, a 3.3 MP Canon Full HD CMOS sensor, and the powerful DIGIC DV II processor. Focusing errors and camera shake are more noticeable when shooting in HD. Instant AF and a Super Range Optical Image Stabilizer provide a unique solution to these two problems. Shoot with a range of optional peripherals. Manual audio controls, plus microphone and headphone connections, let you capture a great soundtrack. HDMI provides a simple way to get your HD movies onto a TV or compatible computer. With low power consumption, flash memory lets you shoot for longer. The camcorder is also compatible with a high capacity battery pack for even greater shooting times. An Intelligent battery system displays remaining charge to the minute. The HF10 lets you capture 3.1 Megapixel photos. Even take 2.07MP shots during recording or grab them from movies you've already made. A range of other advanced features are available. Preview your movies with family and friends on the 2.7" Multiangle Vivid LCD screen - easy for everyone to gather around. With HCAR surface treatment, images look sharper and colors are vibrant; screen reflection is also minimized. The HF10 is compatible with Canon's optional DW-100 - the easiest way to get your HD movies onto a DVD. Alternatively, Pixela ImageMixer 3 SE is provided - organize, play back and edit your video clips on a PC, then convert them to other file formats.

Advantages: Compact Camera Disadvantages: Very poor reliability
...Since having purchased my IXUS 900ti in Janueray 2007 it has been back to the Canon service centre 5 TIMES for repair.
The first time it was returned to the Canon service centre it was lost it all together.
They replaced it but that is when all my troubles began!
Five times it has been back to Canon at Elstree!!!
Last night 20/10/07 it failed again for the 6th time and I now await the usual padded envelope from Canon to return it yet again.
The lastest fault on screen says "Lens Error"
In the last ten months Canon have had my camera longer than me and I dread to think how much it will cost to repair when the warrenty runs out in a couple months.
i WILL NEVER BY A CANON PRODUCT AGAIN....

Advantages: Size, weight, bright back screen, simple controls Disadvantages: clunky,poor software, small cf card supplied, poor customer service support
...MID RANGE CAMERA, THAT HAS GOOD FEATURES FOR A FAIR PRICE. WHEN PURCHASED PARTS FROM THE BOX MISSING WHEN OPENED, AND TOOK CANON UK 3 MONTHS TO SHIP THE PARTS, AFTER CLAIMING THAT THE PART ( A BATERY COVER DID NOT EXIST).
CONTROLS SIMPLE TO USE, THOUGH BATTERY COVER AND CF COVER NOT WELL BUILT AND WILL FAIL WITH REGUALR USE.
GOOD DESIGN THAT HAS NOT DATED, THOUGH NOT TO THE STANDARD OF THE IXUS OR OLYMPUS MJU, WHICH ARE DATELESS.
OVERALL, A GOOD CAMERA THAT HAS TAKEN SOME GREAT SHOTS BUT HAS NOW BROKEN AFTER LESS THAN 1,000 SHOTS. THE BACKUP SERVICE OFFERED BY CANON FARCICAL AND AFTER HAVING SEVERAL CANON PRODUCTS WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN, THIS COMPARES DRAMITICALLY WITH OLYMPUS WHO HAVE PROVIDED SUPERB SERVICE....

canon Xl2 Review ofCanon XL2 camcorder - Mini DVby
vikkick
...this is a briiliant camera if you wish to become a professional camera man or woman. its the industry favourite and its lightweight and easily protable. It is easy to set up just white balance then point and shoot. It can be connected to a monitor and also external microphones and lights can be attached to it. i am a proffessional camera woman and would not be without my canon as it far excideds other competitors in terms of picture quality and ease of use. i have had my canon xl1 for 6 years and its still as good as the day i brought it i brought the canon xl2 last year and it is just the same high quality....

Travels with my 400D
I’ve been putting off writing this review for months and months. I’ve been waiting until I know just about as much about the camera as I possibly can, but I’ve come to the conclusion that this will never happen, more
For some time I have wanted to buy a digital camera that would be small enough to carry in my pocket and would be easy to use. I already have a canon powershots3 IS and have been really pleased with it. However it's not always convenient to carry around... more
The quality of this product is amazing...
From the sleek metal finish to the impeckable Canon lens.
This is has all the good points of the HV10 while getting rid of the bad points.
The common complaint about this camera is its low light performance,... more
I owned a 20D before this and so my view is relative to that camera. The 5D feels very much like the 20D and 30D in that it is pretty much the same size and operationally very similar except for not having any kind of built-in flash.
Pro users argue... more
