Very poor video quality especially in low light. Kept Canon HF10 after direct comparison. The Canon was simply better all around for about the same price.

This is a great little camera, excellent video and photos outdoor and indoor. . . only used it for one day but so far, I’m satisfied with this camera. So simple to operate, didn’t need to read the manual to create movies, photos and playback on HD TV. Perhaps I’m not as critical as some of the reviewers but I simply cannot find anything wrong with this camera, I think it’s one of the best in this price range.

With a very low price prior to the holidays, and a new i7 iMac, I thought I’d finally jump on the HD camcorder wagon. I’ve had miniDV camcorders for the last 11 years. My last (Canon Optura Pi) was selected after careful research with a high priority on quality footage indoors in the evening – the achilles heel of digital camcorders. I own 3 Panasonic still digital cameras, so I admit to having a soft spot for the brand.
Anyways, the SD10 was a great price, a beautiful little form factor, and shot beautiful video outside during the day. My experience at night indoors (with all lights on) showed the camera to do a poor job. We’re not just talking about noise, but blockiness too. It was totally unwatchable. I also shot some additional indoor footage during the day – a large indoor building with lots of light – very watchable but noticeable grain. Note that footage was viewed directly on a HD Television using the HDMI connection – on the viewfinder you might think the footage was fine.
The reviews were mixed – mainly regarding comments on indoor usage – but I thought I’d take a chance. Alas the camera went back, and I replaced it with a Sanyo FH1aSanyo VPC-FH1A Full HD Video and 8 MP Digital Photos (Black) (also from Amazon). Its indoor performance is excellent!

This is my first HD video camera. The quality of the video is excellent when viewed on my laptop and TV. What I don’t like, and the reason I am returning it, is because when I tried to burn a DVD it took 2 hours and 47 minutes to burn 20% of the 15 min of video that I recorded.

Easy to use. Light weight. Battery life could be longer. Picture quality in low light settings could be better. Camcorder light could be better.
All in all, I am extremly happy with our purchase. We first used it for family videos during the weekend of our wedding. The video is absolutely excellent in ideal light settings. Low light noise is noticeable, however.
For the most part you can just press record and go. I have yet to dable in the more advanced features, which must mean the standard setup works well.
Good starter HD cam for the price. Would reccomend.
