Have had this for about 3 days and it is impressive. Great sound and picture. My recommendation is to purchase the mini HDMI cable and make sure you have a strong video editing software program(that can open .mts files) because nothing comes from CANON.... I use Adobe Premiere and it is very easy to create an HD DVD. from Crutchfield.com It will fill up your big screen with pretty good quality video. I can't comment about the stills because I use a digital camera for photos and never took a picture this camera. If you are planning to buy this one, I suggest getting an extra battery, the external battery charger, a couple of 32Gb cards and the wide angle converter lens. That's what I did and I'm glad because every single item came in handy. from Amazon.com I bought this to use it in shooting some documentaries and some small production projects and CANON didn't let me down on this one, the body is small and perfectly sized for extreme mobility, the HD output of this thing is amazing, the picture quality is solid and crisp and the colors are vivid. It does get a little shaky when being used with walking or in motion, the image stabilizer system tries to correct with little success but that is perfectly expected if you're using a small camera since it moves with what holds it of which in this case your hand. from Amazon.com - Optical image stabilization - Reliability and easy transfer of flash based system. - Decent 32 GB of internal flash memory - Good menu system is easy to use and understand from Amazon.com Canon VIXIA HFS10 is currently the top-of-the-line Canon consumer camcorder. It takes very good quality full HD video (one of the best among consumer level camcorders). from Amazon.com The Vixia HFS10 is an upgrade for me, coming from the Canon VIXIA HG20 AVCHD 60 GB HDD Camcorder with 12x Optical Zoom. I've been enjoying the HG20 for a few months now, so being able to dig in to the new features on a 2009 model camera has been a real treat. from Amazon.com So many other great Amazon members have written excellent reviews of all of this camera's key positives and negatives. I will instead 'focus' on something this camera has that truly sets it apart from others in this price range - its ability to help you learn key concepts to becoming a better videographer. The HFS10, like any good consumer camcorder, features an excellent facial recognition system, lightening fast auto focus, built in lens cover, etc. But it also has enough manual control to give aspiring amateurs their first lessons in controlling image and audio quality manually. from Amazon.com Everything you need to take professional looking videos is here. Its small size makes it easy to handle and the built in stabilization and zoom adds to its functionality. I also own the Canon HF20. That particular model has a 3.89 megapixel sensors vs. from Amazon.com The Canon folks have really outdone themselves with their latest, top-of-the-line, HD flash memory camcorder. It's about the size of a Coke can, and fits easily in the hand, but it performs at a very high level. from Amazon.com I am a year long owner of the last generation Canon HG10 HD camcorder. I have used it to shoot high definition video of several events both indoors and outdoors, and it has performed admirably. from Amazon.com
