Overall, I am quite pleased with my obtain and truly feel Canon has put out a really competitive product with great benefits. A BP819 must fit the bill nicely. Let’s be sincere, if you want to take images, use a true digital camera. I also like that canon took a opportunity on just generating it decrease megapixel for best HD recording.

So why not 5 stars total for this digital camera? Well, possibly I am utilised to my iphone’s touchscreen as well considerably, but the touchscreen on the viewfinder drives me nuts.

Now I did go with the 16gb version and have no regrets although I can’t ever see myself opting for using its internal storage.

Also, wanted a black entire body as opposed to the silver one. I’d give minimal light a 4 star rating

Search for the “Canon HF M4xx Owner’s Thread” or the G10. How many occasions have you been disappointed with very low light grainy recordings ? I purchased a shoe mounted light and works beautifully. Some of my video in low light scenarios really appears brighter on screen then it did for real. . Now I do not have to offer with that anymore.

Nonetheless, this Camcorder has the lowest lux rating I’ve witnessed. excellent data and hyperlinks to uploaded videos built with these camcorders. I purchased a wide angle lens on amazon. I looked at much more expensive camcorders. Personally, I would discover myself ready to shoot and understand I have no SD card with me. Many individuals confuse MB with Mb. All those nice attributes the other brands have are wonderful but not a should have. A viewfinder is a must have for me. Who took my SD card??? stick to me. . Do not listen to the negative feedback.

That is the principal reason I bought it as an alternative of a much less-high-priced, purely consumer-grade camera. The camera is light, tiny, and transportable — great for ‘field work’ covering public gatherings. It’s tough to envision undertaking considerably better. I recommend an external microphone for any &amp all interviewing perform, and this camera will accomodate one via its “mic” jack.

The entire memory card/constructed-in memory point is fantastic. Three modes of Vehicle concentrate and exceptional, effortless to use Manual focus. I have not used Tv mode, but in total Manual the controls are simple to access and complete as nicely as my Canon EOS nonetheless digital camera. I can no lengthier blame my gear. The BP808 battery is little, and you need two, or a more substantial BP819. I received it final week, and was instantly struck by the high quality of the images. That’s about all I can think of now. The hot shoe is the Canon mini-shoe, so you require an adapter to use after market mikes or lights, or buy the expensive Canon equipment. The main feature in Cinema Mode is a set of 9 filters for various cinematic effects. My nevertheless digital camera is a Canon 5D Mk2. 5th, the day of Canon’s new item announcement. Transfer to a Win 7 Pc is effortless and quickly. So far, I have just been learning about the G10, and its capabilities. I did not assume I would like it, but it is simple to use, responds properly, and the menu method is relatively intuitive. Things I don’t require: Even now photos – great but I have a wonderful nonetheless camera. The Manual mode provides tons of recording and exposure options. Let me say now, I am not a professional video/film maker. The ‘touch screen’ is really very good. I’ve created some beautiful video scientific studies of my flower and vegetable garden. Sometimes due to my meager competencies, often due to the quick comings of my cameras. It has wonderful video overall performance as nicely as amazing nonetheless image functionality. Considering that I was a little kid with an 8mm film camera, I have attempted in vain to make video clips that had the search and sound of professional Television and movie productions. But the Nostalgic, Sepia, and Old Movie filters will definitely get used, as will the Dramatic B&ampW. I positioned my order on Jan. There is no separate battery charger incorporated, so you need to have a single of those, as well. I’m contemplating the Vivid would operate on panoramic landscapes. I’ll try out to post a short video soon, exhibiting some of the pictures from the Vixia HF G10. . The shallow angle of the lens opening prevents adding after industry wide angle conversion lens apparently the only lens that currently fits is the really high-priced Canon lens. In Programmed mode the digital camera will make several automated exposure adjustments as the scene or lighting modifications. The Vixia HF G10 modifications that. In addition, the on digital camera microphones are far superior to any camcorder I’ve ever utilised. I seldom show or publish movies on the Internet. So far I’m sticking with the MXP 24P (genuine 1920 x 1080). It would be effortless to over use these, I believe. I guess these factors have industry appeal, but why does Canon add them to a camera aimed at the upper finish video consumer? Things I do not like: The original impression that the G10 is a modest, affordable-hunting, plastic camcorder (I got above that when I noticed how it performed). I would and do advise it to anyone looking to take that subsequent step up in video producing. Amazon was excellent, as usual, and kept my pre-order updated right up until the digital camera was released. My video clips are for my own enjoyment, I record specific moments and travels for myself and my loved ones. Whether or not played back on the camera’s LCD screen, or on my large screen HD television, the photos are sharp, clear, vibrant, and have the seem of a specialist documentary. I like them all, and search forward to making use of them to highlight my scenes in my movies. I have some significant wind chimes near my garden and the playback of audio by means of my Television is astonishing. I have a Sennheiser MKE 400, but have not utilized it as but, the on-camera sound is outstanding. It is the luxury I paid for, and I am going to use it. I failed in several techniques, a lot of instances. I wished the G10 to give me far more flexibility for diverse conditions run-and-gun, handheld sort of things, ad hoc filming which I find tough with the 5D Mk2. What I like: Coming from a DV tape camera, the memory cards are the greatest thing since sliced bread. I have had no formal instruction

I got a opportunity to take it out in the area for a bit and am extremely pleased with it. Google it for this digital camera and you are going to see lots of youtube movies and threads on discussion boards about it. If you have a model from last year then you could not want to upgrade yet. Of course that can also be turned off if it is not your preference. I advise just making use of the lens hood when you genuinely need to have it and only when you know you will not be zooming in total as significantly. Hope that assists anybody who might be on the fence about buying this a single. That was my only reservation at 1st because I have a tendency to prefer bulkier and heavier cameras. Complete manual manage, a concentrate ring, an awesome and definitely stunning touch screen, what far more could you ask for? I especially value the dual SD card slots and the recording options there. The footage I have produced with this digital camera so far is totally spectacular!. I guess I was 1 of the lucky handful of who was in a position to get this digital camera early. Great! I also purchased the BP-827 battery, even though I had a lot of recording time out in the area with just the normal battery as properly. The footage is simply incredible – but I did recognize a couple of issues that I want to share with others who may buy this digital camera. It is a non-matter if you just stick with the Common IS and we’re nevertheless waiting to see if Canon fixes this in a firmware update. Issue 2) This is not as huge of an issue but I did notice that there is a bit of vignetting going on with the lens that seems to be just when I have the lens hood on and at full zoom. It is not a really huge or extremely heavy camcorder either. It does not appear that you can change this in automobile mode but you can in manual mode (and this is a prosumer digital camera so you shouldn’t truly use vehicle mode anyway) and I extremely recommend that you modify this. But it was certainly time for me to ditch the tapes and upgrade from my Canon HV30 and I am glad I did! Update – June 21, 2011 I was in a position to take this digital camera on a trip last month to San Francisco, Napa Valley and Carmel by the Sea. Nevertheless this point is so completely balanced in the hand and so rugged feeling that I am not concerned at all with the weight now. It also does zebra stripes so you have many alternatives to get the best shots without relying simply on what you see through the viewfinder or on display. Issue 1) The digital camera employs “dynamic IS” for picture stabilization by default in the two vehicle and manual modes. Use “common IS” instead due to the fact dynamic IS tends to give you a wobble impact all around the edges of your video. It is one particular of individuals items that you deal with as an early purchaser and I have no regrets about purchasing this camera irrespective. I got mine two weeks ago and have been nothing at all but impressed with it. Also, when you focus, by default, it instantly magnifies the center of the screen so that you can tell exactly what is in focus. The other factors that are not mentioned in a lot of the bullet factors for this camera that I am impressed with contain the waveform keep track of and peaking meters which come in helpful for the manual exposure and concentrate modes. But the capacity to also record to the internal memory and then copy the contents to one of the SD cards in the card slots is also a fantastic choice. There are surely going to be times where you’ll want to record to two cards at once and that will come in useful. Right out of the box and in a medium lit interior room the picture was superb. I ordered 2 64GB SDXC cards with mine and at complete resolution video recording it is reporting all around 14 hours of recording time. It is a shadow impact close to the edges. I nonetheless preserve the 5 stars at this point simply because these are minor items that you can effortlessly get about and the wobble issue could probably be fixed by Canon soon anyway

Other concerns: I like the touch-screen, but it aids to have fingernails. Recording to the internal memory increases the recording time slightly, as does setting the viewscreen to ‘extra dim’ mode. . . Low-light functionality is not as excellent as previous Canon camcorders. The full instruction manual is integrated only on a CD disc extremely irritating. This year (7/2011), not so much. The lens mount has threads for an accessory, and there’s a mic jack and headphone jack choice (in contrast to an otherwise enticing Panasonic competitor). 45 minutes?
