Canon HF10を買いました！ English and ROMAJI Subtitles! (Annotated)

Canon HF10 vs Xacti DMX HD1000 Below!

久しぶりです！仕事の事情があって、遅くなりましてすみませんでした！ m(_'_)m
Hey everyone, first up sorry for the delay in getting this out, but I was getting killed at work...

さて。、やっとCanonHF10にして、ディジタルビデオカメラを買いました！但し、今回の動画はそのカメラのレビューじゃなくて、日本での楽しい電化製品の探し方を紹­介したいと思っています。
So, I finally decided to get a digital video camera, the Canon HF10. But for this video, rather than a review of the camera, I wanted to show you a fun way of shopping for electronic appliances here in Japan.

基本的に、自分の場合は4つのステップで：
Basically, I go through four steps myself:

ステップ１：雑誌
Step 1: Magazines
日本は数多くの電化製品の専門の雑誌があります。製品にも、日本語にも詳しくなくても、こういう雑誌は分かりやすく新製品を紹介し、とても役立ちます。特に好きなのは：
Best Gear
Trendy
Dime

Japan has dozens of great magazines that specialize in the latest gadgets. Although in Japanese, these are presented in formats that are easy to follow even with minimal Japanese ability, showing specifications, comparisons, scores, and using lots of photos and graphics. I like to read
Best Gear
Trendy
Dime

ステップ２：知人に相談
Step 2: Talk to People Who Know
一番探しやすい知人は大手の電化製品の専門店のスタフです。お客さんに適したものを選ぶのが研修されるし、幅広く製品が並んでいるので、その製品の特徴と違いに詳しいはず­です。また、自分の場合に日本の有名なYouTuber、Tokyocooneyさんにも相談して、彼は自分で使っています。

The best place to find someone who knows how to match gadgets up to customers are the staff in big electronics chains. The big shops usually stock every kind of model for a product, and staff are trained in matching customers up to the right product and showing you the differences between products, so it is great to go there, check things out and talk to people. Also many thanks to Tokyo Cooney for his advice, which was in his case to recommend another camera, the Sanyo Xacti DMX HD1000を勧めています：

ステップ３：店を選ぶ
Step 3: Pick a Place to Buy
さて、どこで買うのを決定しましょう。自分の場合は価格.comを使うのが好きです。多くのレビュー・スペック等、そして買うことができる店の支払い情報、地図などの情報­が紹介されています。
http://kakaku.com/

Pick a product and find where to buy it. I like to use www.kakaku.com for this. You can find reviews, comparions, detailed specs, user reviews, and a list of shops with payment, shipping and shopfront information.

ステップ４：買いましょう！
Step 4: Go Get It!
東京の中で足を運んで行ける店をよく選びます。この場合は秋葉原の裏道にあるPC Selectという店にしました。よくこういう怪しいところで店探すのも楽しい部分の一つとなります。
I like to go to shops in Tokyo with a storefront I can find. Often these are small shops hidden away in Akihabara. Finding the shops with a map and a phone number, hidden on top of a few floors of dodgy anime shops can be half the fun.

来週、このカメラのテスト・ドライブ、そしてYouTube上で他のカメラの画質とどうなるのかを比べてみたいと思いますので、是非みててね！
I'll show you a test drive of this camera and compare it to other cameras you can use to make YouTube vids next week, and see if this Camera is worth the outlay to get it!

PEACE！

=================
Click here to see a comparison of the specs of the Xacti Tokyocooney recommends, and the Canon that I shelled for;
http://kakaku.com/prdsearch/prdcompare.asp?PrdKey=10067610062.20200510355
The Xacti is smaller, a nice shape, and takes videos in standard as well as hi-definition, which is good for YouTube because HD is hard to edit and unnecessary for YouTube 640x480 resolution. So why did I get the Canon?
- Canon has the best optics going of any digital video camera in this category right now. Panasonic and Sony have good competitors, but I have used and like Canon, and most reviewers seem to agree that Canon is the leader right now.
- I want to take surfing and rugby vids, not just YouTube ones, so optics are important to me for that.
- For size, the new Xacti isn't THAT compact. It is much bigger than previous Xactis (that optically, are just toys) and doesn't exactly fit comfortably into your jeans pocket. The Canon is plenty small to unnoticably fit into any rucksack or bag.

Anyway, that is why I chose. The big test is next week!

where can i get a great deal on the canon hf-10

[Hikosaemon]

Depends on where you are - if you are in Japan I suggest using kakaku (see the sidebar info). Two other updates/notes:

1) There is now a Canon HF11 which takes even nicer low light video

2) I have since bought a Xacti CA8 that is nowhere near the quality of the canon, but the videos are light and easy to edit (very youtube friendly) and the camera is cheap, waterproof, and fits in your pocket. A better choice if you don't need the absolute best quality video available.

Peace

I'm still looking for digital video camera！！

この動画参考になりました

ありがとうHikosaemonさん

Peace

[Hikosaemon]

There are lots of good cameras, but my conclusion is that Canon is the best quality right now.

とはいえ、ほとんどのYouTuberはXactiを使ってます­ね。Victorintheworldの最新ビデオも最新型のX­actiを使って、結構きれいに写ってますよ。でも、DVDやB­luRayなども考えがあったら、絶対にCanonですね。少し­でも参考になっていたら嬉しいです。

Peace, kaokao1031さん！

Another great vid mate, the romaji annotations really helps us(japanese learners) Keep em comin.

[Hikosaemon]

Hey there, I'm glad to hear appreciation for the annotations, it is a bit of work to put in but nice to know it is helping people out (I like to think "what did I want to see when I was learning Japanese" - I'll look at tagging some onto my latest video as well perhaps, if I get the time

Peace

I was looking at the Kodak zi8 because of ThatJapanesegirl and other card based cameras as you sugested... In my search I saw the Kodak waterproof version. No much in the way of whistle n bells but for my purposes it el do nicely. And its water proof up to 3meters!!! LOL!!!

[MrCancun77500]

[MrPacMan36]

I got the HF11 and am in love with it!

if you YouTube "canon vixia hf11" my playlist should be at the top of test videos

[jurrius]

thanks for your uploads! they are a breath of fresh air amongst the video's of gaikokujin who either speak japanese without an accent but have nothing to say and those who have a lot to say but don't quite know how to put it. I joined your channel, please keep uploading your 動画. BTW. how did you study kanji? How many do you master at the moment? Do you also read literature in Japanese?

[zcarenow]

I got this camera a few weeks ago and it is doing well. I wished it had time lapse and slow motion though. :-(

日本語素晴らしいですね。日本で働かれているのですか？
