What do people say

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). The optical image stabilization is very useful and face detection is accurate. Autofocus is very fast and the menu system is intuitive. Low light capability is decent (but improved a lot by using the video light for video recording or internal flash for taking photos). The pre-recording mode is very useful for shooting sport, action, fireworks, child and other scenarios where it is often hard to predict when those Kodak moments will exactly be until it has happened/passed. It also has filter thread so you can install lens filter to enhance the video/image and to protect the lens. The LCD is very sharp and clear from wide viewing angle. It has a dual shooting mode where video recording and photo taking can be done without switching settings.

One of the most compelling aspects we noticed, the auto features aren’t “mode centric”, in other words alot of consumer / prosumer cameras and camcorders have only FULL MANUAL mode forcing you to tune and experiment with every feature to get an acceptable shot, then they have pre configured auto Modes, such as “Portrait”, “Landscape” “Sport/Action” forcing the shot w/o options and Nikon owners know this very well.
But, the Canon enables you to mix which modes you’d like to manually set and which modes you’d like Auto or “Assist” to handle, this allows you to even manually focus the shot while the aperture, shutter and flash / light assist are handled for you. The combinations are literally limitless and most people probably won’t need as much complexity but once in a while you’d like to create an artistic silhouette or push the exposure and the Canon lets you do it easier than other imaging devices.
