Videomaker reviews the Canon HG10 camcorder in their December issue. In summary, the reviewer found the HG10 to produce great quality video in different lighting situations, and auto-focus and auto white balance were spot on. Really the only things mentioned that were not liked were the lack of a manual focus ring and manual audio level adjustments.
The HG10 may not be a camcorder most semi-pros would look twice at, but, if image quality were the deciding factor, it would be hard not to take this little performer seriously.
