IT Reviews reviews the Canon HR10 and writes;

“You do, however, have the additional 25P Progressive Recording within the Cinema Mode setting that the HG10 has, and you have special scene recording settings (including Sports, Beach, Snow, Spotlight, Sunset and Fireworks) as well as five image effects (e.g. low sharpening, soft skin detail) and four digital effects (Fade, Black & White, Sepia and Art). In relatively good lighting conditions the colours emerge sharp, bright, vivid and authentic, but these become noisier as lighting conditions deteriorate, though not more than you’d expect for an AVCHD system.”

CamcorderInfo reviews the Canon HR10 and writes;

” the Canon HR10 leaves a lot to be desired compared to its cousins. The DVD media is founded on the principle of simplicity. People like the familiar shape and the fact they can pop it into their home DVD players with little complication. That was the case with standard definition. The AVCHD high definition format robs DVDs of nearly all their convenience. Capacity is limited to 15 minutes on a single-sided disc. Many home DVD players are not compatible with the format. AVCHD files are large and complex chunks of data; even robust computers require a lot of processing time.”

LetsGoDigital reviews the Canon HR10 and writes;

“The HR10 has a 2.7” Multiangle Vivid LCD screen which makes it easier to share video with friends and family: it’s never uncomfortable to gather around the camcorder’s screen thanks to a wide 135 degree viewing angle in both vertical and horizontal directions. The LCD also supports a wider colour range than ever before, while Hard Coat AR (HCAR) surface treatment ensures that colours look sharp and true to life, with minimal darkening. ”

TrustedReviews reviews the Canon HR10 and writes;

“In sunny outdoor conditions, the HR10 acquitted itself as well as the HG10, despite the greater compression of its top XP+ mode compared to the HG10’s HXP. Colours were very faithful, but as with the HG10 detail was noticeably softer compared to the HV20. The AVCHD compression was clearly reducing image sharpness. ”

Tech.co.uk reviews the Canon HR10 and writes;

” For: Well laid out controls, Great range of features for the price, Excellent audio. Against: Viewfinder too small, Autofocus struggles at close range, Image stabiliser could be better. Verdict: An impressive selection of features and a generally very good picture and sound performance make the £600 price tag something of a surprise.”
