Comments about Canon FS-10 8GB 'PAL' Flash Memory Camcorder:
Part of our job is to teach photography & on our website is a segment to help photographers with lighting & other tips. This camera lets us show techniques in real time with just one operator. The remote is easy to use, controls intuitive & the quality of the image itself is good. Colour balance is fine and the ability to focus almost to macro (1:1) means small details and equipment features can easily be shot.
The sound is a bit tinny with the built-in mic, but a tie-clip or shotgun mic easily fixes that. Overall, an easy camera to use with quality results. Don't bother trying to shoot blockbuster movies, but day-to-day stuff is great!
