Advantages: PICTURE QUALITY
Disadvantages: IN BUILT CAMERA

...Canon MV 850i - camcorder - Mini DV The cannon MV850i video camcorder had been recommended to me and when I first brought it I had no idea about these types of video cameras, it appeared to be quite technical at first with many different settings and other high tech facilities, If you have your reservations of all the different controls and settings then just switch to easy mode, point and shoot simplicity; just aim your cannon MV850i digital video camcorder and shoot.

Canon PowerShot G10 review

Advantages: autofocus, big screen, face detection, 14,7 megapixel, image processor, image stabilisation
Disadvantages: chunky, not very stylish, not as portable as other cameras

...I recently bought one of these at an expensive price. I shall explain some features and my feedback to this item below. The 14.7-megapixel G10 replaces the PowerShot G9 at the top end of the clever compact space. It's a chunky beast of a camera, as you'll see in your pictures, but still smaller than a dSLR with comparable power and flexibity. The G-series are designed to be the back-up cameras you can keep in your pocket if you don't want to bust out the dSLR, and the G10 certainly packs a lot into its relatively compact frame. The G10 includes all the whistles, bells and accordions you'd expect: optical image stabilisation, face detection and various scene and colour modes. These include panorama stitch assist, portrait, landscape, and aquarium. The larger-than-most 1/1.7-inch sensor is teamed with Canon's new DIGIC 4 image...

Review of Canon PowerShot G10

Canon G10: does most things very well, some things briliantly

Advantages: Picture quality, portability, 5x zoom, RAW shooting, high-res monitor, manual options
Disadvantages: Noise at higher ISO

...Why buy a Canon G10? For about the same price you could get an SLR with a much bigger sensor. And whilst at 80 ISO the G10 with its 14.7 megapixels actually gives better resolution than Canon?s 1000D SLR, at 400 ISO and above its resolution falls away and noise increases dramatically. But at the SLR?s base price you would not get a 28-140mm (equivalent) zoom; and the G10?s compactness and light weight make it a far more attractive option as a camera that you can take with you everywhere. It does most things very well, and some things brilliantly. The most direct competition in a compact comes from the Panasonic LX3. While not quite matching the LX3?s low light performance the G10?s superior zoom (5x as opposed to 2.5) makes it far more versatile, and at low ISO it has superior, not to say stunning, resolution. So what about the G10...

Review of Canon PowerShot G10

Canon FS10 - Overpriced Overrated.

Advantages: Nice Shell + External Design
Disadvantages: Everything Else.

...The Canon FS10 is a non HD video camera. it has a lack of features its video quality is a little below average and whatever good things it has are ruined by a bad software interface. The camera is quite easy to use at a basic level, you hit record and it records, but advanced features are hard to get to and take a long time to be found. its buttons are arranged in a very odd way and some things require some very strange hand movements The recording quality of the camera is a little off average, it is good for playback at smaller sizes but on a bigger scale looks bad and is very noisy. it cant adjust to lighting conditions well and the zoom is too strong for its own good. the still quality is low res but its high quality. i have little comment on the still quality because a stills camera is what you use to take stills, not a video...

Canon DC10 - a reasonable camcorder

Advantages: easy to hold and easy to work
Disadvantages: image quality is poorer than other cameras

...DVD is undeniably superior to the ageing VHS tape format in the world of home movies, but you might be surprised to learn that the same is not necessarily true in the land of the camcorder. Though DVD camcorders offer a far more convenient method of storing footage, the output still lacks the resolution and vibrancy of tape-based MiniDV camcorders. We won't pull punches on this issue. It's important to realise that while there are many benefits to the new DVD format, you must be prepared to compromise when it comes to editing your footage. DVD camcorders like the DC10 record video to DVD in a linear, permanent fashion. Mainstream editing packages like Final Cut Pro, Premiere and iMovie will not work with the DC10, you have to use Canon's proprietary editing suite. There are ways around this, but image quality is further degraded in...

Canon HG10 ........ with a Canon you can

Advantages: light, exellent quality recordings
Disadvantages: expensive, not much battery life

...Canon HG10 My review is about the Canon HG10 camcorder I was bought it for my birthday as I have always wanted one but never got round to buying one I was pleasantly surprised when I was bought this especially as it is the Canon brand I have a lot of their electrical, gadget stuff already so know the brand well and it has always been reliable. Obviously I was straight away working this out and using it, this really didn't take long being a man I will never read the instructions just mess around, risk breaking it un-till I get it to work. My wife however looked at the instruction book and now also knows how to use it. It this camcorder really couldn't be any simpler to use and the two videos I have taken with this camcorder so far are brilliant the quality is amazing it's just like television programme quality. It also has really...

Review of Canon HG10

Canon HG10 excellent quality hardware but infuriating software

Advantages: Brilliant quality, easy to set up and go, records to HDD, quick transfer from HDD and great func
Disadvantages: terrible software, poor battery life, has Canon's own HD resolution/not true HD

...Canon HG10 Firstly, my background of work comes from years of video production, video software and work in the television industry. I've worked with some large companies and freelance so, naturally, I look for the best camera I can afford which is compatible with hardware and software I have already acquired. Canon is generally a great company that I can rely on and this contributed to a major part of my decision when deciding which camera to buy. This is review that is based on actual experience with this camera working in many different environments: Video The video quality was absolutely stunning, from the moment it was being recorded and previewed on the small but brilliant VCD, to the point I uploaded the HD footage onto my computer. The quality is perfect to say the least. The were so many different functions regard...

Review of Canon HG10

The excellent Canon MV20

Advantages: Small, light and feature packed
Disadvantages: Could do with a connection for an exterior mic.

...This fully featured digital camcorder has to be one of the best bargains around. Boasting a 48x digital zoom and Progressive scan CCD along with Red/Green/Blue primary colour filter this camera outperforms many cameras costing half as much again. Added to that is its impressive list of features such as the digital effects, photo mode and fold out full colour screen. However, the three things that really impressed me with this particular model were: 1. The patented Optical Image stabiliser. This is not a software trick, but a true stabiliser using a gyrosope-type device (I can't be sure of the technical details!). It is very good and helps to produce a watchable picture even when running. 2. The camcorder has a Canon lens. Obvious really, but then it is one of the most important parts of the unit and Canon lenses have always been superior...

Review of Canon MV-20

Canon MV X330i

Advantages: Lightweight,Easy to hold, Connect direct to DVD Recorder
Disadvantages: Fiddly Menu Navigation,

...After a long trawl looking for a Mini DV Camcorder I eventually settled on the Canon MV X330i it had all the features I was looking for. I found it relatively easy to use after studying the manual, (have camera ready to use when reading its easier to follow) although navigating the menu can be a bit fiddly,this is displayed on the screen and when not in use through the viewfinder, some features can only be accessed with the screen open ie setting and using the fader (6) different effects, (which I use regularly) The viewfinder I think would be greatly improved with the addition of a soft eyecup (to reduce light pollution) instead of the hard eyepiece it comes with, so i found it easier to use the screen The 2.5" screen is a joy to use with crystal clear resolution in daylight or night, the camera produces excelent...

Review of Canon MV X330i

The Canon 10-20mm EF-S lens, perfect for landscapes.

Advantages: Excellent quality pictures, Useful wide angle range. Good build quality.
Disadvantages: No lens hood, Not compatible with all EOS cameras

...Introduction The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-f4.5 USM lens is a high quality wide-angle zoom lens that is ideal for landscape, architectural and interior photography. It is designed to be used with all Canon EOS cameras with an APS-C sized censor and an EF-S lens mount, it cannot be used with Canon full frame or film cameras, also some older EOS models will not accept this lens either. To see if your camera is compatible with this lens, check your camera for the following. All Canon EOS cameras have a red spot on the lens mount to denote the lens alignment for EF mount lenses, check to see if your camera has an additional white spot to denote the lens alignment for EF-S mount lenses, if it does, then this lens will fit. Focal length This lens has an actual focal length of 10-22mm, but because of the x1.6 crop...
