Canon's VIXIA HF R10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder is an entry-level HD camcorder with numerous features and functions to help you with the recording process every step of the way. The HF R10 captures 1920 x 1080 HD video to an internal 8GB flash memory or to SD/SDHC memory cards, including Eye-Fi SD memory cards. In addition to recording MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video, the HF R10 also captures 2MP digital stills.

At the core of the HF R10 you'll find a Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Lens, a 2.39MP HD CMOS Image Sensor, and Canon's DIGIC DV III Image Processor. Other features, like 20x optical zoom, Dynamic Image Stabilization, and a 2.7" LCD give you the tools you need to record your video with accuracy.

Among the numerous user-friendly applications of the HF R10 you'll find 24p and 30p recording. 24p gives your video a film-look, while 30p is ideal for shooting action footage and posting to social networking sites. Other beneficial applications include Face Detection, Quick Start, and Pre-Record modes. And last, but certainly not least, the HF R10 features microphone and headphone connections for recording quality audio using an optional external mic and headphones.

Flash Memory Recording
The VIXIA HF R10 allows you to record up to 3 hours of video to an 8GB internal flash drive or to a removable SD memory card. With Relay Recording, the camcorder automatically switches video recording from the internal drive to the SD memory card when the memory becomes full. There's no need to worry about running out of recording time during a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime shot. You'll also have the flexibility of copying video from your VIXIA HF R10's internal drive to the removable SD memory card. That makes it easy to insert the card into your computer or HDTV's card reader and view your recorded footage immediately.

The advantages of flash memory go beyond the added recording time. You'll also appreciate the quick response time, because there are no moving parts. In addition, when you review, you'll have quick access to your footage. Another plus is the VIXIA HF R10's low power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. And if your HF R10 happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that flash memory makes your camcorder more shock-resistant than other recording storage systems. It also minimizes the chance of data loss if there is damage to your recording media or to the moving parts found in other camcorders 1

Stunning HD Image Quality
A Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Lens delivers excellent image quality, while the Canon Exclusive 2.39MP HD CMOS Image Sensor captures video at 1920 x 1080 resolution and photos with astonishing detail, while the Canon Exclusive DIGIC DV III Image Processor provides impressive color and imaging performance, with enhanced reproduction of difficult to capture purple and blue tones
2.7" Widescreen LCD Display
The 2.7" LCD on the HF R10 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. The screen delivers bright, clear detail and the widescreen format means there's no need to imagine what your final image will look like on your widescreen television because it's not squeezed into a small space while you're shooting. What you see will be what you get
Dynamic Image Stabilization
With the Canon HF R10, you can be sure that even on the move your video will be smooth and steady. Dynamic IS provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broader range of motion. In comparison to conventional electronic image stabilization systems, extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration that is common when walking
Built-In Digital Camera
The VIXIA HF R10, in addition to being a camcorder, is also a digital camera. The VIXIA HF R10's Dual Shot makes it easier than ever to capture both video and photos. Shoot up to 3 frames per second in the Continuous Mode, or a blazing 5 frames per second in the High Speed Continuous Mode. The versatile VIXIA HF R10 even lets you capture a still image from an already recorded movie. While playing the movie in your camcorder, simply press the photo button to capture a 1920 x 1080 photo onto an SD card or to internal memory. Additionally, the VIXIA HF R10 allows you to capture 30 photos from one second of video.
Auto Intelligent Auto Focus
Auto Intelligent Auto Focus, AiAF, ensures sharp images and gives creative flexibility. Even when your subject isn't in the center of the frame, the VIXIA HF R10's 9-Point AiAF will automatically select from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp focus
Selectable Metering Patterns
For optimal still image exposure, the VIXIA HF R10 offers selectable metering patterns: Evaluative, Center-Weighted Average, and Spot
AE Bracketing Feature
The AE Bracketing feature of the VIXIA HF R10 automatically takes three versions of the shot, with 'dark,' 'normal' and 'light' settings in 1/2 exposure steps so you may choose the one that best suits you
Histogram Display
For the advanced digital photographer, the VIXIA HF R10 comes with a Histogram Display - a feature found in Canon's line of digital SLR cameras. The display allows you to see the brightness information of your still images, so you can adjust your exposures as you shoot
Smart Auto
Smart Auto makes shooting great video easy. Using the power of Canon's DIGIC DV III Image Processor, the VIXIA HF R10 intelligently detects and analyzes faces, brightness, color, distance, and movement, then automatically selects the best settings for the scene
Genuine Canon Face Detection
The same Face Detection technology used in Canon digital cameras is available in the VIXIA HF R10 high definition camcorder. Up to 35 faces can be tracked automatically, ensuring razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure. Of the faces tracked, 9 detection frames can be displayed at one time. The system is in fact so smart that it will recognize faces turned downwards or sideways.

In addition, a specific face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. This feature can be used to search for clips featuring that specific subject's face. In search and playback, use of the Face Index will display frames with the chosen face as a thumbnail in each shot in which it appears. The selected face can be linked as a timeline to further identify footage containing that subject

Advanced Video Snapshot
Advanced Video Snapshot allows you to capture the highlights of your adventures with the same ease as taking photos. Simply record a series of short video clips - or select your favorite clips while in Playback Mode - and blend in your favorite background music to create an exciting movie that will grab everyone's attention. This version of Advanced Video Snapshot allows selectable recording time (2, 4, or 8 seconds). Additionally, audio from an external source such as an MP3 player can be played along with the Snapshot movie, and playback can be controlled from that source
Easy Web Sharing
HD-to-SD Downconversion allows you to convert recorded high definition video to standard definition files while safely preserving the original HD video. These standard definition files make it even more convenient to edit, share video online, or create a DVD. The downconverted video can be transferred to your computer via traditional methods - i.e. USB connection, card slot - or wirelessly to sharing sites with an Eye-Fi SD memory card
Eye-Fi SD Memory Card Compatible
The VIXIA HF R10 is compatible with the Eye-Fi SD Memory Card. It's possible to wirelessly transfer your down-converted video and photos to your computer, or upload them directly to online sharing sites in a few simple steps. Insert an Eye-Fi SD Memory Card into the SD card slot on the camcorder, configure your computer to select the target site (e.g., Facebook, YouTube, Shutterfly, Flickr) and you're ready to share your standard definition files with family, friends, and the world 2
24p & 30p Frame Modes
24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a professional "film-look." You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film. In addition, you can use the VIXIA HF R10's CINE setting, which changes the color and tonal characteristics, evoking the look and feel of a movie shown in a theater. For added flexibility, these settings can be used together or independently.

In addition to the standard interlaced video frame rate of 60i, you may choose to set the VIXIA HF R10 to capture video in 30p Progressive Mode, (30 progressive frames, recorded at 60i) which is particularly useful for footage to be used on the Internet. Excellent for action and sports shots, this setting gives enhanced quality to still images captured after recording

Terminals
To maximize the usefulness and versatility of the VIXIA HF R10, you'll find a range of terminals to extend the capabilities of your camcorder. Easy, one-cable connectivity to your HDTV is achieved through the VIXIA HF R10's HDMI Terminal which also supports CEC and x.v.Color. A Microphone terminal with manual audio level control and Headphone terminal provide audio flexibility
Pre-Record
The Pre-record feature places your HF R10 in a stand-by "pre-roll" mode. With this feature the camcorder continuously records three seconds of video to memory before you even press the record button. When you start recording, the additional video is recorded too
Quick Start
With Quick Start, you'll never miss a quickly unfolding shot again. When the HF R10 is in Camera Mode and the LCD panel is closed, it is placed in standby. When the action starts, open the LCD panel and you'll begin recording in less than one second. You'll also help extend your battery life as compared to leaving the camcorder in regular recording mode

  • Burn DVDs of your video with the optional DW-100 DVD Burner and one-cable connection

I am taking this to travel to India. It is tiny- I was shocked at how small it is. However, the video quality is excellent, and even quite decent in low light...a big deal for me. The zoom works well and image stabiization is decent as well.

The zoom button could be a bit better placed but works well enough...just a bit awkwardly placed. The housing could also be metal instead of plastic. It would be heavier though more solid and durable. Get an extra battery though...they do not last like camera batteries. Overall, this one is hard to beat at this price-point, and an excellent choice. The clear LCD is an added bonus.

I bought this to use to video my daughter playing basketball. I am used to a regular video camera that just tapes, but you get used to it.
It is easy to use, but downloading to my laptop was a little complicated at first.
It is a little more expensive than I think it should be though.
I have recommended it to a friend and he bought it the next week.

Comments about Canon VIXIA HF R10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder (Silver):

AF noise was too much to handle and impossible to get rid of so, I had to RMA it and order VIXIA HF40 MiniHDV camcorder.
Files have to be converted before use on Mac - another headache.
Camcorder is too much on a consumer side.

      We use this camcorder in a school. Students immediately began using it when it arrived. We added a Rode external microphone to enhance audio. History students used it for the first week and the interviews recorded came out great. Students found it easy to save their videos (saved on the 8Gb on board memory) by connecting the camcorder to one of our library or lab computers. This made short work of something that used to be very tedious. Some students even brought in their own SD memory cards so they could immediately take their work home for editing. The ease of use and good quality of recording made this unit perfect for us. This thing can REALLY zoom in from far away! we can't wait to try it during sporting events.

      I just got this camcorder and so far it looks great. Great audio with an external mic, and a headphone jack. Can shoot in auto or manual. The part I struggled with though was that the software that came iwth it is only for windows users, not photojournalist like me with macs. I wish someone had written that in the review. You are abl eto dowload the video with iMovie or Final CUt Pro, but obviously Final Cut Pro will be a little better.

            Comments about Canon VIXIA HF R10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder (Silver):

            This camcorder is fine if you're using it to record family events, but I was disappointed with the video quality. I returned it and got the Vixia HF M300 because I wanted better quality videos.

            You'd think Canon would find a way to incorporate a higher pixel camera in it.

            It was the only affordable camcorder that would allow me to attach an external shotgun mic. (I got the Canon DM-100 mic because it fits and others require an adapter.) The built-in mic is mediocre so consider spending the $175 for the mic if you want quality sound.

            If you have a Mac, don't bother downloading the useless photo app that comes with it. You can use iMovie. (If it doesn't work with your iMovie, you need to upgrade your iMovie app.)

            The image stabilization is fantastic.

            You will need to shoot during the day or find ways to light in dark areas.

            I give this camera a five star not only because of the price but because it has many features needed to make independent films such as the 24p feature on it and of course the head phone jack and microphone is a must if you want to get into serious filmmaking. For an independant filmmaker on a very low tight budget I definately recommend this camera to everyone starting out.

              only think i am still not sure about is the battery life... seems to be running out fairly quick.

                Comments about Canon VIXIA HF R10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder (Silver):

                I use this camera for documentary films and short film projects. I love the 24fps with Cinema mode, it really gives that smooth Cinema feel to your projects. Great product for the price. Easy to use operator controls.
                Only bad thing is the Autofocus feature has a clicking sound that will be picked up by the camera's onboard mic. In most scenes with a lot of noise the sound isn't noticeable. Easy way to get around this issue is turn off the Autofocus feature.

                  Comments about Canon VIXIA HF R10 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder (Silver):

                  I bought this to use to video my daughter playing basketball. I am used to a regular video camera that just tapes, but you get used to it.
                  It is easy to use, but downloading to my laptop was a little complicated at first.
                  It is a little more expensive than I think it should be though.
                  I have recommended it to a friend and he bought it the next week.
