Reviews of the Canon HR10
-
CNET Review
The Good: Nice video and decent photo quality; manual exposure controls; 24p support; full-size HDMI connector.
The Bad: DVD initialization and finalizing operations are slow; relatively short battery life; can't charge while camcorder is powered on.
The Bottom Line: Though the Canon HR10 is a decent camcorder, there are better choices for the same money because format performance and compatibility issues make it hard to recommend a DVD-based AVCHD model.

Review Summary: While Canon has done its best to make the HR10 compatible in quality with its big sisters in the HDD and MiniDVD domains (and mostly succeeded), it is ultimately hampered by the severe recording limitations of the DVD format.
