Can it get any better ? Upon opening the box, I was amazed by the FS10! It fits in the palm of your hand (about the size of a can of pop) and feels like a finely crafted piece of equipment. I started video taping two minutes later! Let's forgo the technical jargon and skip directly to the picture quality ... amazing! I was video taping in my store and instantly was impressed with how well the camera compensated for light shining through my windows. A quick scan around and I ask myself "how is this thing focusing s...

Great Camera - Bad software and video codec I like the size of the camera, fits nicely in my hand. The basic controls are easy to find and use. The LCD panel is bright and easy to see on a sunny day. The battery seems to have a reasonably long charge, I used it for about an hour straight last night on a fresh charge on new batteries and it still had power to go. The flash memory means no moving parts except for the lens. Also its fast to start and shutdown. I like being able to have some removable media - the removable SD card. It ...

I'm impressed! First of all let me state that i spent 2 weeks researching camcorders before buying this one. Many mixed reviews on many different sites.
What sold me on it was the fact that there's no tapes, dvd's, or other moving mechanisms to wear out, other than the zoom. No moving parts means batteries last longer. The mic input was a big plus as well as being compact.
Upon arrival i was amazed at the size and weight. After trying it out there were a few downsides that could be fixe...

Totally Satisfactory for My Needs I bought this as a replacement for my Sony MiniDV camcorder. The video quality is roughly the same using the default settings. However, because I can adjust many more settings on this, I end up shooting better video than I could have with the Sony.
I also like the smaller size (you have to see this to believe it) and the flash memory (no moving parts equals faster response and longer battery life).
I mostly use the camcorder for filming my kids and then uploading it for my...

Wonderful camera I ordered my camera just before I left for France. It came 4 days before I left so I had very little time to figure out how to use it. It was a snap. The videos are clear except in low light. The zoom is great. And the still pictures were better than my digital camera. I love the camera. I haven't had time to use the software to make a CD so I can't rate that.

Great solid state camera. This is exactly what we were looking for. We were tired of mechanical camcorders that eventually break down and tapes that fail. The Canon is small, lightweight, and the battery lasts a long time. I added a second 8GB memory chip and we have hours of video between dumps to my computer. I haven't tried editing the video files yet and will add that review later.

It works with a mac! It works with my macbook! I was a little concerned when I first tried to install the software. I did not think it was going to work. iMovie recognized the files straight from the camera though.
1) Plug the camera into the electrical socket
2) Make the camera switch set to "play video"
3) Choose the "printer/PC" option on the camera's screen
4) Launch iMovie, it recognizes the camera!
I did not end up even needing to install the software it...
