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.

Nice
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very compact! Feels like you are holding a water bottle except it is shorter :) Lots of neat features! Out the box - 2 hours on HD mode and 5 hours on standard mode. The battery lasts 90 minutes on a full charge so a spare battery would be nice for long days. Sleek design with a nice handle.
USB 2.0 is decent for transfers
HDMI cable...

Excellent Family Camcorder
Don't let the few negative reviews out there fool you, this camcorder is amazing for family recording.
Pros:
- Just the right level of storage built into the camcorder, with room to grow in the SDHC card. Do you really want to come back from a vacation with 8 hours of video? Really? Cause I think 30 minutes into reviewing your footage you will be kicking yourself. I could be wrong, but I don't think so...
- This thing is tiny, about the size of a can of coke. Its so small in fact...

Great Little Flashcorder
I just got my Vixia HF10 yesterday, read the manual, charged the battery, and realized I will need a second battery as the one that comes with it will only last about an hour. While looking for this battery I read some of the reviews on this flashcorder and about choked when I saw the review entitled "Some Bad Features - Beware". I quickly grabbed my HF10 and did my first recording. I plugged it into my iMac, opened up iMovie, the program instantly found the HF10 and I uploaded the video wit...

Amazing video quality, great usability, average software.
I was waiting a long time for a camera capable of recording 1920x1080, good video quality, small size, no tapes, ...
This is it!
Much of it is derived from the HV and HG series, so it is not version 1.
The videos I have taken so far are at par with the quality I get from FIOS TV HD channels.
The only drawback is the sotware. It does not work well with vista. I can only retrieve the content from the camera, but not play, the software hangs. M2TS files play well with PowerDV...

Awesome Product
I am amazed with this product. Clear and very sharp images, lighweight and with a superb design. I'm glad I have bought this camera. Canon, once again, exceeded expectations.
I also bought, together with the camera, the SanDisk Ultra II 16GB/15MB SDHC Card and the Canon BP-819 Lithium Ion Battery, which I higly recommend.
Points for attention:
1. Focal Length: from my perspective, the camera should have a shorter focal length. 40mm is too limited. I'm considering buying the wid...

Top notch AVCHD Consumer Camcorder
I wanted a General Porous HD Camcorder to shoot Vacations, Exhibits, Family Video and for my own video production team that doesn't break my budget.
In My Review, I'll explain the Pros, Cons and how to over come the cons + other Camcorder tips (AVCHD Vs. HDV, Sony Vs. Canon).
== Intro ==
- Basically It's a High Definition camera using AVCHD codec which it consists of: Video encoded with MP4/AVC H.264 and Audio encoded with Dolby digital.
- It uses on board...

Technically superior but quirky
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: The quality of the video is outstanding. The fact that it records to flash memory sets it light years ahead of other media based cameras. It is very small, lightweight and does everything I need it to do.
Easily the smallest camcorder I have ever owned. It fits comfortably in your hand and can be stored in your jacket pocket.
Extra SD memory slot to store more video is fantastic.

Finally an AVCHD Camcorder worth buying
I had the award-winning HDV (tape-based) HV20 prior to this, and the HF10 is almost indistinguishable in terms of image quality. Given the dramatic difference in image data between an HDV image and an AVC image, that means this is one heck of a camcorder. I have tried out other AVC camcorders and have been really disappointed. Not so here, and I purchased this one. It has 24p and 30p recording, in addition to 60i. (Don't be confused by Canon's nomenclature, it is true 24p, just recorded in ...

Great HD performance, be prepared to shell out money for editting software
This camcorder really is quite fantastic. I previously had the HG10 and was disappointed by it mainly due to it's low light performance and it's tendency to produce smeared / ghosted images - fast moving objects seemed to leave a trail behind them, particularly in low light. Fast forward to the HF10 and I am a much happier person.
The HF10 has quite good low light performance and I have not noticed a problem with smearing or ghosting like the HG 10. The camera is very small and lig...
