Customer Reviews

Proficient Camera !!!
I've owned this camera for some continuously now and have found it to be an outstanding camera in every way. I have not written a review on it until now. Yesterday I mow down into a stream in the Great Smokey Mountains while filming grandchildren. Demand I say I thought it was "history" for the camera. To make a long mystery short, in between a few emails to Canon's very good custmer support, I found a way to return the camera for viable repair when I returned home. In the meantime, the Canon slowly dryed out as functions became general. Now, about 24 hours after my unscheduled swim, the camera still has a bit of a question with the LCD monitor but it is back up and working! Now your experience might be different and maybe I am righteous a lucky guy, but I cannot say enough good about this camera. It is fantastic! It is small enough to lead in your pocket. Had I carried another larger camera on a recent turn on to Egypt I would never have taken it along for a ride on a camel. The Canon made the trip and we have some super shots of the pyramids from up in the air the camel!

One last point. Some may have wondered about compatibility with the Apple operating system. (The above chronicle describing this camera mentions Windows but not Apple.) I have found no facer whatsover transferring footage from the Canon to my Apple G4 via the firewire connection.
for dearest use
I judge this product because I owned one but not hi-def. yet and was stollen but i still have some accessories of canon brand.What can I say with this was owesome simlpy outstanding bright colors that you can see through the LCD screen even in a bright day light.
Proper Camera, if you don't mind tapes
The HV10 produces some exceptional video. Fits my hand well and is easy to use. It uses the older DV tapes, but still has extreme video quality.

which camcorder should i order?

i cant choose between these:
*Canon Optura 30 MiniDV
*JVC GRD796 MiniDV
*Canon ZR830 MiniDV
*Canon HV10 3.1MP High-Definition MiniDV
*Sony DCR-HC62 1MP MiniDV
*Aiptek A-HD 720P 5MP CMOS High Definition

and if you can...tell me why?
xO


If this is all we have to choose from, any of the miniDV tape based camcorders.

1) MiniDV tape does not compress like the hard drive or flash memory camcorders, so video quality even up against the high def or flash memory camcorders.

2) When you fill the miniDV tape, pop it out, lock it, pop in another - not only does that tape become the archive (with a good shelf life), but you can shoot for as long as you have (cheap) extra tapes. At around $3 for an hour, they are affordable. When you fill up the hard drive or (expensive) flash memory), what do you do? When you transfer the hard drive video to your computer, you delete the camcorder video files. If you do not back up those files to an external drive or data DVD, when the project is done being edited, you will delete the video files - so... gone from the computer and gone from the camcorder... gone forever.

The Aiptek lenses are too small to provide any sort of good quality unless you are very close to your subject - and their mics are not very good.

3) I am not aware of a Canon miniDV HV10. The HG10 is hard drive based and uses AVCHD for high-def compression - You do NOT want this camcorder. If you mean the HV20 (or HV30), then I would say go this route.
* As stated earlier: MiniDV tape. DV and HDV are the least amount of compression and results in best available video quality.
* Mic-in jack - you may not want it now, but an external mic is REALLY handy. Better to have the mic in jack and not need it than need it and not have one.
* Manual audio control - I did not check the JVC, but NONE of the camcorders on your list has manual audio control except this one. This is REALLY important if you are in really loud (rock/hiphop/whatever amplified music bands) or really soft environments (you get the characteristc whooshing sound from automatic audio level circuits). It can go auto too - but the manual part is AWESOME when you need it. The closest the Sonys get is a "Normal" or "Low" mic gain switch in the menu.
* The HV20 can record in high definition and standard definition (4:3 and 16:9) in 24p... and 1080i. It the most flexible of the camcorders on the list you provided.

You will need a firewire port on your computer - USB is used for transferring stills from the memory card only - Firewire (i.Link; IEEE1394) is needed for importing video from the miniDV tape. Adding a port is easy if your computer has an available PCI slot (desktop) or PCMCIA slot (laptop). Macintosh computers have had Firewire 400 ports for many years.

Video uses a LOT of computer hard drive space - Standard definition is about 13 gig per hour and high definition is about 44 gig per hour of video imported to your computer's hard drive. An external hard drive is strongly recommended.
