More from the press release:
“The HG10 HD Camcorder is ideal for preserving life’s most important moments,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. “Whether it is recording the 30 seconds of a grandchild’s first at-bat or nonstop recording time at a wedding from the ceremony through the reception, hard disk drive camcorders are beginning to dominate the High Definition market, and with good reason.”
Superior image quality is the de facto standard with Canon products, and the HG10 HD Camcorder is no exception. Jam-packed into its deceptively small body is a range of Canon exclusive features to help make home movies mimic big-budget productions. Canon’s 70 years of expertise in optics contribute to a 10x HD Video lens that features SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization to help correct camera shake during hand-held filming or when the camera is in motion. The Canon Full HD CMOS Sensor captures images at 1920×1080 resolution and Canon’s revolutionary Instant AF system offers a dramatic improvement in autofocus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional autofocus systems). Additionally, the camcorder features 24p Cinema Mode, allowing consumers to achieve the look and feel of film.
The HG10 HD Camcorder helps make sure no moment is missed with the ability to capture 3.1 megapixel photos to a miniSD card. And with the Photo Grab function, users can grab 2.0 megapixel (1920×1080) stills directly from the HD video footage during playback. In addition, the HG10 HD Camcorder’s Quick Start function wakes the camera from standby mode nearly instantly and is ready to record at a moment’s notice.
Ease of use is another hallmark of the Canon design. The HG10 HD Camcorder features a new Navigation Control Dial on the LCD panel, enabling users to access the menu easier for improved operability and enhanced ability to search for scenes.
Sharing video from nearly any angle is now easier than ever with a bright 2.7″ Widescreen Multi-Angle Vivid LCD. What’s more, consumers can enjoy easy one cable connection to High Definition Televisions, thanks to a built in HDMI terminal.
The HG10 HD Camcorder is bundled with a powerful software suite from Corel (compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista only). Corel Software includes AVCHD Editing in which users can trim, reorder and combine scenes, as well as add music titles and transitions, allowing the user to burn edited video onto either a full size AVCHD DVD or Standard Definition DVD. What’s more, the HG10 HD Camcorder comes equipped with a Backup Utility Disc, enabling users to safely backup recorded video onto a computer’s hard drive.
Price and Availability
Available in October, the Canon HG10 HD Camcorder will have an estimated selling price of $1299*.

Canon HG10 Reviews
CamcorderInfo reviews the Canon HG10 and writes, “While Canon has produced a camcorder with stellar architecture, they managed to retain one dimwitted design flaw. The HG10 is equipped with a hot shoe mounted to the top housed by a covert plastic panel that is not attached to the body of the camcorder. To make matters even worse, the cover does not feature any tabs or grooves that would help to pry it off. Therefore, once you finally wedge a fingernail into a hairline crack on the perimeter of the cover, the force could propel the plastic shield into the sky at a fairly admirable trajectory. Make sure you bring your scuba gear if you plan on filming near a body of water.” Link.
Videomaker reviews the Canon HG10 and writes, “The HG10 is Canon’s first HDD AVCHD camcorder. It is small and well balanced, and it comes with a 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor and a host of new features that all add up to great-looking HD video…The HG10 may not be a camcorder most semi-pros would look twice at, but, if image quality were the deciding factor, it would be hard not to take this little performer seriously.” Link.
Trusted Reviews does a review of the Canon HG10 and writes, “Although the HG10 doesn’t bowl us over quite as much as the HV20, it’s still an impressive piece of kit. Sony’s lower end HDR-SR5E undercuts it on price considerably, but misses out key features such as a standard-sized accessory shoe. The more fully featured HDR-SR8E is much more expensive. The HG10 beats either on video quality, particularly in low light, and it has enough features to attract the more serious video-maker. So, not the perfect high-definition camcorder with a hard disk. But the best we’ve seen yet.” Link.
Vnunet reviews the Canon HG10 and writes, “On the downside, the HG10’s rechargeable battery lasted for just an hour of shooting, and if you opt for the highest quality recording option, you get a ‘mere’ five hours’ worth of video. Like its still photo equivalents, you’ll have to buy your own memory cards, and only stills, not video, can be put on the card…On the plus side, the HG10 delivers a robust and reliable performance, displaying excellent warm colours, ably coping with changes in lighting that can sometimes confuse camcorders, plus there’s a pull-out viewfinder for when sunlight renders the screen difficult to see…Its design may not be the coolest, but it’s a good place to start exploring the possibilities of HD video, and fairly priced too.” Link.
Australian PC Authority reviews the Canon HG10 and writes, “The HG10 certainly has its work cut out, but a quick glance at the HG10’s specifications shows immediate promise. It has the same 1/2.7in CMOS with 2.96 megapixels as the HV20, the same lens, and matching optical image stabilisation. Instead of tape, of course, it has a 40GB hard disk and it records to AVCHD instead of HDV, which allows yout to store around 5.75 hours of video and the top quality, 15Mb/s setting…If you’re serious about your video, the HV20 remains the recommended choice. But if you want the convenience of a hard disk, reasonable three megapixel stills, and high-definition recording all-in-one package, Canon has another winner on its hands.” Link.
SimplyDV reviews the Canon HG10 and writes, “The AVCHD system might entail heavy compression, but the results from the CMOS imaging device are stunning; colour, contrast and resolution are excellent and the cam doesn’t suffer from low-noise artefacts in the way that its major competitors do. Not only is the HG10 a joy to use with easily accessible record and playback controls,.. but it produces HD pictures and sound that is head and shoulders above the competition. No surprise, therefore, that this model was granted the first prestigious SimplyDV Camcorder of The Year Award for 2007. Well done Canon!” Link.
