Product Spotlight: Canon Vixia HF10
Brian Tong showcases Canon's first entry for flash-based high-definition camcorders. What's the verdict? Canon does it right.
While it's more expensive than its sub-$600 competitors, the Canon Vixia HF20 and Vixia HF200 deliver a more extensive feature set for the extra money. The HF200, which lacks internal memory, is probably a better buy than the HF20, though the HF20's all-black body is a bit classier looking.
Canon Vixia HV30 Review
The good: Generally excellent video quality; solid feature set for its class; well designed
The bad: Tape housing feels a bit flimsy; fixed eye-level viewfinder needs a better eye cup; manual focus dial a bit loose
The bottom line: An extremely minor upgrade from the HV20, the Canon Vixia HV30 remains a quality HDV camcorder with a couple of performance issues.
