You put the card in a reader and open “log and transfer” in Final Cut 6.02 and *boom* the thumbnails are there in a list instantly. If you’ve got the horsepower and the right programs, though, editing is pretty cool.

The HF10 comes with Pixela software, but I can’t install outside software on our office computers, so I have no idea how it works.

Premiere Pro (cs3 production suite) won’t touch them, nor will Windows Movie Maker nor Windows Media Player. I couldn’t find anything in our office on the PC side to open the files. (A program called Voltaic will let you very slowly convert the clips, though.) If you have a G4 or G5 Mac or are using Final Cut 5 to edit with, you’re out of luck - you can’t even look at the clips. iMovie 08 is also supposed to work with the files. I use Macs and on that front, you need an Intel Mac running Final Cut Studio 2 upgraded to at least 6.02. You need a really powerful computer to do anything with the files. The AVCHD format is an extremely highly-compressed mpeg format. (A similar model, the HF100, only uses cards, with no built-in memory.) The HF10 is an AVCHD camera with 16gb of memory onboard and it also uses SDHC cards. This is a tiny high-def disk-based camcorder that shoots full HD at 1920×1080 and can also shoot several lower bitrates at 1440×1080 - but it won’t shoot standard def. * Headphone jack defaults to AV and you have to switch it via menu every time for playback (but it stays put in record mode) * It has a mini hotshoe that won’t take any standard mics or accessories * Manual controls are through a fiddly joystick and nested menus * Have to take it off tripod plate to change battery the latch is on the bottom * Standard battery life is short: 40-50 minutes * Built-in mics, like many camcorders, are very susceptible to wind noise * There’s no viewfinder, only the lcd screen * The file format, AVCHD, is hard to edit * It takes 37mm filters and accessory lenses * It has manual controls, including exposure and audio (YAAAAYYY!!!) * It uses readily available SDHC flash cards * It has a decent lens and decent image stabilization
This is a cool, sexy camcorder and the lust factor for this critter is way high.īut try as I might to love it, it just ain’t happening for me. I’m playing with a loaner Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder, which is nearly a twin to the HF100. The current version of this camera, the HF200, has some subtle but real improvements in handling and controls and is a great little camera. Most newish computers with current software, like Vegas or CS4 on the PC or any of the Mac’s editing programs, can handle AVCHD with no problems now. UPDATE, LATE 2009: OK, a year and a half after I wrote this review, a lot has changed in the editing realm.
