I did a lot of research before making my plunge into video. I’ve been a still photographer for a long time and regard myself as a recovering Silver Based Photographer, but I’ve greatly come to appreciate digital photography. I wanted a video camera that would fit my profile and allow me to grow without buying a new camera after a short time. Size was also a consideration in my selection criteria as I frequently do things outdoors and like to travel light.
This video camera meets more of my needs than I expected and way surpasses my expectations.
I’l get the shortcomings out of the way as the list is short and they are not too bad. 1) First is no accessory shoe. I got a nice external LED light source, but there is no place to mount it on the camera. My bad for not investigating this. A small Gorillapod is a reasonable accessory to carry, even out doors, so this is minor. The light stays cool, so a partner can also hold the light for you. ‘Nuff said on that. 2) No built-in light. Minor, but it would have ben nice. See my comment above and additional comment below.
See? I said it was a short list!
This camera is almost as light as my Nikon Coolpix! Great travel companion. The battery life is good, but I always travel with at least one charged spare. This is just common sense. The view screen is nice and bright, the menus are easy to understand and navigate and the controls are well placed. The internal memory is adequate, but just as you should always have a spare battery, I always carry at least two 32 GB flash cards. Without additional memory, your record times are short.
I found the image stabilization a real nice feature. If you crank in the digital zoom, however, you are going to get shake, just not as bad as without one. A second Gorilla pod for the camera is a great help here. The optics are nice and crisp, the color true (with one exception) and the shutter speeds do not generate much blur. One caution: If shooting in low light indoors and you come outside, the camera responds like you eye and does have a blue cast for a short time. Minor, but it is annoying if you are following action. When I say short, I mean give the camera one or two seconds to adjust before shooting anything serious.
I did not test the soft wear, so I have no opinion on that. Just as with my still digital cameras, I suggest using either an external card reader or one built into your computer to transfer images to your computer. I also use softwear other than the Canon furnished software for editing.
Al considered, this is a great non-pro camera. With a little planning of your shots, there’s no reason you can’t deliver pro quality footage. It is not a pro level camera because you still lack a lot of fine control and it is not as rugged as a true pro videocamera. Still worth the price and then some!

The Canon Vixia HFR10 Camcorder is a wonderful camcorder. Please don’t let other people mislead you. Before buying this camera, I have had a long list of video cameras since they first came on the market, including VHS, 8mm, Super 8, mini-DVD (Canon Elura 90) and several other Canon and Sony. This one is by far the best. I have had several photo exhibitions shown here in Atlanta, including one on China and another on the Mediterranean. I had a color full page photostory published with mug shot on the back page of the Detroit Free Press which printed 760,000 copies. I have won first place in photo contests in open competition.
I think that many of these other reviewers made amateur mistakes when using this camera. Their expectations are too high without using proper techniques. First, they didn’t mention if they used a tripod or a monopod. I never shoot without using one or the other. Also, I always use a high quality external microphone which I mount on a bracket I got from EBay. Because of face recognition, this beats the other cameras hands down. Although this camera doesn’t have lens threads so that filters and attachments can be added, I measured the front end of the lens and found that a 34-37 step-up ring could be added using superglue (Loctite No-Mess Adhesive). After doing that, I was able to attach a wide-angle lens. But one warning. If you do this, you will get fantastic shots that look fine on a big screen or on the camera’s LCD screen, but alas, when you put the same video on YouTube, you can actually see the sides of the wide-angle lens so I had to take it off but works fine if you don’t transfer the images to YouTube with its greater capture ability.
The county where I live (Gwinnett County Georgia) won the Golden Award for having the best park system in the United States in 2008 beating out Las Vegas and Fort Worth, Texas. I thought, gee, this would be a great project to film all the walking and hiking trails in these parks – a monster project since there are 37 parks in the county but I now have about 20 on You-Tube which were all shot with this camcorder. If you would like to see how great this camera works in the field go to YouTube and in the Search Box enter these five words:
Gwinnett County Parks by Frank and all of my videos will appear. Hope you enjoy the walks with me and any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
It amazes me how many people expect crisp and perfect shots when they don’t even bother to use a tripod, monopod or even a chest pod when using their camcorders.
Hope this review has been helpful to you? I should add that I found the software supplied with this camera to be superb when uploading to YouTube. I have CyberLink’s Ultra Power Director 8 but haven’t needed to use it since the Canon software that came with the camera (Image Mixer 3) does just about everything I would want in an easy to use friendly fashion. I have found their Customer Service to be very responsive if I have any questions.

I just don’t understand these bad reviews; they look like they were written by the same person. This is my second Canon Vixia and I keep buying these because the video quality blows all other camcorders off the block. Only two downsides for me were the lack of internal memory (but I’d rather use memory cards) and the still photo quality (but I don’t use camcorders to take pictures). The video is crisp and colors are accurate. The stabilization is not perfect but good enough for me, far better than others (I recently tried both the Flip and Sony bloggie to save money, and I was so disappointed I decided to splurge again – I had broken my previous Vixia – that’s the only reason why I replaced it with another Vixia.) This Vixia is also smaller than my older Vixia HG20 and easier to handle. I am really happy with it. A professional will nitpick and that’s a pro’s privilege, but as an amateur looking for high quality footage of my dogs and my vacations, I just don’t look anywhere else.

This camcorder is getting excellent reviews on other websites so perhaps Amazon is selling some lemons and that is the reason for the bad reviews? If you head over to BH PhotoVideo all the reviews are excellent, so maybe buy from them? But I don’t think it’s necessary. I bought mine from Amazon earlier this year, have used it heavily, and I think the Canon Vixia HF R10 is a good little camcorder. The camcorder is very easy to use and feels good in the hand. I like being able to toggle the LCD. The quality of the video is excellent. The 20x optical zoom is steady and clear. I read a couple of comments about audio noise; I’ve used it for about 200 hours of recording so far and I’m not hearing any problems. One reviewer on the Canon website (where all but two of the reviews are excellent) said to turn the mic to “manual” instead of “auto” and that will fix any problems. I haven’t had to do that; the audio is crisp and clear, but for those who are really sensitive about this, give it a try. I read a complaint about charging the battery??? Well, obviously that consumer got a lemon, because the battery on mine works just fine. If I was to complain, it’s about the Pixela software which can be frustrating. But that seems to be the case with other Canon Vixias. I have some old Sony software that I tend to use instead. And you have to plug the camcorder in to transfer video to the computer – minor annoyance but no biggie. For the price I don’t think you can do any better. Amazon has a really easy return policy so if you do get a lemon, you can easily exchange it. So give it a try.

The product is excellent. It has many customizable settings, more than I need, but maybe I will learn. It takes HD quality video, only problem I have hard drive space to keep it all so I dont use the camera to its max capability in that regard. I would highly recommend this to friend or family.
