Canon Legria HF S10

Zitat: The Canon Vixia HF S10 (MSRP $1199) is a camcorder with a lot to offer. The 32GB of internal flash memory is a welcome addition over the card-only HF S100 we reviewed earlier this year. Its video—like that recorded by all of Canon´s flagship models this year—is remarkably sharp, vivid, and smooth. Models from Sanyo and Panasonic do fare better in low light, but bright light recording on the HF S10 is a beautiful sight. We miss the presence of a viewfinder and independent shutter/aperture control, and we´re not a fan of the some of the port design, but the HF S10 is, overall, an excellent camcorder. Canon has since released the HF S11, with 64GB of internal flash memory and a second level of image stabilization, but we´re not convinced that the upgrade is worth the money. Of course, if you´re really looking to save money, you could make a couple more sacrifices and end up with an even better deal than the HF S10. It´s ultimately up to the consumer to decide whether those sacrifices are worth it.

Zitat: Pros: + Good overall video quality + deep and advanced manual controls. Cons: - Mediocre battery life - no viewfinder.

Zitat: Pros: + Excellent Full HD video quality + huge array of manual features + quick and responsive control dial Cons: - Too expensive for most consumers The Canon Legria HF S10 is one of those rare camcorders that will please all types of user. It combines beginner-friendly features with in-depth manual controls and produces unmatched video quality to boot. Unfortunately, it´s also prohibitively expensive.
