Canon HF10 : 1080p camcorder sample video

[silo727]

whats the f??@@*g point it putting a sample of hd footage on youtube, with a max resolution of 360p? LOSERS! Lets all get sky hd and watch it on a black and white telly!

[dukecl]

if you want see real Canon HF10 quality ....look my videos....I have the HF10 too and I upload in HD...

[boostingcav]

i think the image is so bad because the way he uploaded the file. This cam can do much better!

[WWoodyW]

image isn't very sharp

[littlepyro]

That'd be from YouTube taking video that is recorded at a maximum of 17mbps and dropping it right down to 2mbps, no matter HOW you upload it. It's crappy how they do it, yes, but...

[edsonpessoa]

this cam works with 720x480 resolution too?

[whiteowlonfire]

Can I plug my external 100 gb hard drive into the usb and record onto it?

[clementjoubert]

You cannot, you have to use a SD Card

[shopdancedream]

Will this camcorder work with regular imovie that comes with macbooks or do you have to get imovie hd??

[stryfe137]

will work with imovie 08 or 09

[therifler]

Hi, I just do like to ask how the stabilization in this camcorder works. Is it well or not? I'm thinking about buying it, but I'm not sure does this Super Range stabilizer works.

Also, what zoom did you use to record this video?

It will help me a lot, thanks ;]

[lmp4eva]

great image quality!, i could see the bum under the bridge lighting up his crack pipe.

[mountaingazer]

What computer and software are you using for editing?? Thanks in advance

[JesseS420]

very nice thanks for the upload.

[ScottLewisNJ]

why not HG10

[zouzzou2001]

is this an hf10? coz it has a menu navigation button different than the hf10's one.

[elargo007]

where u get imovie hd

[bifif123]

this camera cant film in 1080p, i have it and i know for a fact that it only films in 1080i and lower, it would cost much more to buy a camera with 1080p and its a function that consumer cameras just cant handle right now along with 60p. Never-the-less, this camera is still really nice and was a great purchase but its definitely not 1080p.

[USERX15]

im actually pretty sure you're wrong.

it says right in the specs it can record at 24/30 frames per second progressively at the 1920x1080 resolution.

[pwscottiv]

That's completely incorrect... It shoots in 24p and 30p... Which is 1080p. Why did you even buy that camera? (Considering, that the main selling point over the Sony is that it shoots 1080p.)

[anthonyjhicks]

I'm seriously considering getting one these, over the summer I'll mainly use it to shoot jet aircraft at airshows. Watching several sample movies (including this one with the close of up the passing cars), the HF10 doesn't seem to handle fast moving objects well - they jerk/stutter past. Is this something to do with the post-production compression or is this what you see natively out of the camera?

[theguymjp]

"the HF10 doesn't seem to handle fast moving objects well - they jerk/stutter past. Is this something to do with the post-production compression or is this what you see natively out of the camera?"

The stutter is a result of youtube increasing the framerate of the video from 24/25p to 30p... if I recall correctly this cannon can shoot in 30p (as well as 24/25p & 60i) anyway so it shouldn't be something to worry about.

[ruarmani]

This is what you see on camera as well - jittering. The problem basically lies with 24p and 30p. When you choose 60i it is a little better, not perfect, but better. I don't think it is Canon though, all digital cameras like that. It really bothered me, but I realize I would have to live with that, or buy $3,000 camera and it would still have it if you really pay attention. I used to do video editing, so my eyes see all kind of thing, it is really a pain.....

[Firequacker]

Would you recommend, for recording straight from a speaker (guitar amplifier), that I use my SM57 straight into the camcorder, or record the audio and video separately and then combine later on?

[writevli]

How well does it work with a Mac?

[clementjoubert]

Very, very well in iMovie HD. Problem is, you have to import files and it converts them to AppleIntermediateCodec files (=40 GB per hour).

It's a shame iMovie HD doesn't handle AVC-HD directly.

[redsox42311]

this camera is becoming a big hit, imovie and other editing softwares will be able to handle it soon trust me

[sgtOOX]

crap the wind still craps up the audio pretty good huh but still pretty decent compared to other stock audios

-sgtoox

[yonirules]

check my profile, i have more video, and a link to HD

[gregwilker]

yes its full 1080p at 24fps and 30fps ... only 60i no 60p

[metrofly81]

thx for sample.

i did notice a lot of wind noise on the bird footage.

at least canon gave us an option for an external mic.

[MrsPhim]

nice audio

[snowboardintahoe]

very nice camera and it is 1080 its youtube that makes it looklike that

[clementjoubert]

this camcorder is very good for its size, should have posted in 720p on Vimeo ...

[Keeyou]

they're laughing because someones moaning in the beninning. haha

[slackinbr]

a little better with &fmt=18 appended to the URL.

[clementjoubert]

shot at 1080p, youtube video is low res

[kevmac]

Viewers can append "&fmt=6" (with no parenthesis) to the end of the video's URL for better quality.

[coleboy95]

are u sure thats full 1080p?????????
