Review of HF100 Canon Camera on New Egg
Superb Camera
Reviewed By: David on 4/28/2008 Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg.com
Pros: Very feature rich camera. Amazing digital quality especially considering the convenience of filming onto flash and instantly downloading it onto a computer. The camera is designed to give you the best images regardless of conditions, bright, low-light etc. This camera will get your shot where other cameras fail. Using the Transcend 16 gig flash memory bundled with the transcend USB memory reader all from NewEgg with excellent, reliable results.
Cons: It is about the highest quality consumer camera available but I think it tops out at consumer quality - it would take a tremendous amount of skill especially in video conversion abilities to take it to the prosumer level. It seems that all images whether 24p or 30p still convert to 60i in the camera.
Other Thoughts: I found the previous review very helpful in deciding on this camera and I agree with the reviewer that this type of flash memory camera is the future in digital recording. I have not tried to edit any video (.MTS or .M2TS) files yet. A free windows program called 'Media Player Classic' (klmcodec345) has been the best for playing the .mts camera files and once it was installed Windows Media can now play the files with both video and sound. Some people are renaming the .mts files on their computer to .mpg and that is helping software to play the video files. I expect AVCHD to be a common standard with a bunch editing software.

First Look: Canon's first flash memory HD camcorder
First Look: Canon's first flash memory HD camcorder 7:56PM, Monday 21st April 2008
Canon's first flash memory HD camcorder, the HF10, is finally getting its European launch, and we've just had our first hands-on test. The HF10 has 16GB of built-in flash memory, which will store around three hours of video at the highest quality setting. There's also an SDHC memory card slot, so you can add more storage if required.
The camcorder feels sturdily built, but is still lightweight at only 380g. An Easy mode makes it simple for casual users, while a small joystick beside the LCD lets you navigate the menu and adjust a wide range of settings. However, there's no manual focus dial, as seen on Canon's HV30. The battery sits flush with the back of the camcorder. A larger spare could be fitted, but it would protrude from the rear.
The HF10 is an AVCHD camcorder
with a maximum resolution of 1,920x1,080 at 25fps in progressive mode (1080p). Like many camcorders using this video standard, the HF10 has a maximum bit-rate of 17Mbit/s. Previous models we've seen with this specification have failed to compete in image quality with MiniDV based HDV camcorders.
Its compact design puts it directly in competition with Panasonic's excellent HDC-SD9. The HF10 is a little larger and heavier, but has some useful extras - like a microphone input and accessory shoe - that will interest enthusiasts. The 12x optical zoom is impressive in such a small device, measuring only 64x73x129mm, and optical image stabilization is included. The LCD has a respectable 211,000 pixels, though we've recently been impressed by higher resolution displays on HD models from both Panasonic and Sony.
We'll be spending the next couple of days putting Canon's latest model through its paces. Our first impressions of its performance, along with sample clips and images, will be available here over the next couple days.
