Great size, great features, great camera., November 9, 2008
Length:: 1:10 Mins
I recently purchased this camera when it went on sale. I initially struggled between the HF100 and the HF10. The only real difference is the HF10 includes 16GB of storage built in. Based on the price between the two and the cost of good (class 6, 17MB/s, etc.) SDHC it was a no brainer. Plus, I like the black better than the silver. :-)
The features are great. If you just want to point and shoot, go for it. It even has an 'easy button' (no joke). But if you want more control over the image, it's all there - quality, frame rate, effects, aperture, etc. I've only begun to scrape the surface of all of that. The video shows some shots taken at Amicalola Falls, GA. I did a long zoom to show the great 12x optical zoom.
This thing is small and light. I went on a hike and slipped it into my jacket pocket no problem.
Having a Mac, I had no problem whatsoever getting it into iMovie and importing the movies, editing and sharing. It was a snap. With iMovie I can distribute any way I want - HD, SD, YouTube, iPod, iPhone, iTunes, AppleTV, Quicktime, etc. iMovie recognized the camera and imported the movies quickly and easily. Even easier than I thought it would.
I haven't used it yet for still photos. It has nice features around this. I have a Canon Digital Rebel SLR so I do not anticipate using the camera much for this purpose.
So far the only con is the lack of an included mini HDMI cable. An adapter is only $12, but I haven't been able to enjoy the HD on my plasma yet. The menus and prompts could be a little easier to use, but I was able to pick up things fairly quickly.
All-in-all, this is by far the best camcorder I've owned. BTW - The video has been compressed quite a bit to fit Amazon's guidelines - the video quality of the camera is so much better than what can be shown here.
