Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nice, but not as nice as I expected
Based on the reviews I read on this site and others, I expected better video quality & features from the HF-11. I'm disappointed, but probably not going to return the camera.

Some background: I have shot footage in 24p & 30p modes, have tried both AV & component connections to the TV (42" Samsung LCD, 1080i), and have burned DVDs using a LOADED iMac Duo Core computer with Final Cut Express to edit the footage & iDVD to create the DVDs. Yes, I am aware that Final Cut has some limitations when dealing with 1920 x 1080.

I feel like Canon is passing off an adequate AVCHD camera, & over-charging the consumers by selling it with low quality (2-3 MP) still shooting/capture options, no charger, a battery you will surely have to supplement (50-80 minutes), and an inadequate microphone. I was very surprised to see that the battery has to be charged through the camera (unless you want to purchase a charger separately). The wind noise when shooting outside is SHOCKING! ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best camcorder I've bought in the past 10 years.
Stability, along with high-speed performance, and video/picture quality is what I needed to take along in my travels. Works great with the SDHC Sandisk Extreme III 8GB memory card that I bought after it since it can hold up to 16 hours of my MPEG-4 videos along the road.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Get Adobe Premier Elements 7 or Pinnacle Studio Plus 12 to edit your Canon AVCHD files!
While Adobe Premier Elements 7 is a big joke for the MP4 AVC/H.264 formats...it is a superstar with the AVCHD / .mts files this Canon HF10 generates.

Before I bought my own HF10 I was asked by a buddy to edit and burn some youth football footage from his newly acquired Canon HF10 with SDHC card. I was excited. Although I had no clue what an .mts file was Adobe PE 7 not only recognized it and imported it quickly...but I proceeded to edit both video and audio (together and separately)as well as burn to a regular DVD (not BluRay). My jaw just dropped and I said WOW!

I will add that while I am not a big fan of the GUI of Pinnacle Studio Plus 12 it also handles the AVCHD / .mts from the Canon HF10 just fine...and also handles those other MP4's just fine too.

The really important part is that while I have a nice amount of ram (4GB) my computer is nothing special at all. I am running Vista Basic on a Celeron 1.60Ghz processor (Dell Inspiron 530 desktop) ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - HF-11
So I did a lot of research on which camera to buy and yes the HF-10 would have been cheaper and more economical, but sometimes one always goes for the newest.

I got a price that was about $400 less than what I thought I was going to pay and man I am excited. The Sony Hard Drive cameras were attractive as their menu system is still the best, but proprietary features made it less attractive for use with an iMac. The JVC and Panasonic camcorders in the same price range had some better features and some that were not as good but their prices were very attractive, I ended up with the canon simply because I like the brand i suppose.

I transferred my first video using the 24p cinema mode to my iMac 24" and struggled with it at first. The weird thing was that the photos did transfer over but the video would not. Then I realized you need to have the camera plugged into the outlet using the AC adapter in order to have the transfer occur. I am not excited about this requirement, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful
Great device. Shocking how small it is for the punch it packs. Be sure you have a late model very capable computer if you wish to edit the files. They are large. Get an extra battery and the wall charger to make life less hassle.

You can burn about 35 minutes of high res video to a standard DVD. The is about all of your vacation that was great anyway. Get one and have fun making and recording memories.
