Canon Vixa HF10 Camcorder Reviewed (Verdict: Best AVCHD to Date)
If you have been waiting for a camcorder that gets AVCHD right, the folks at Camcorder Info have some good news.

HF10: This is their top of the line consumer cam featuring two types of flash memory recording: a 16GB internal Flash drive, as well as an SDHC memory card slot. 3.3MP CMOS, 1920 x 1080 video, 24P and 30P recording.
HF100: It's the HF10, but in silver and missing the SDHC slot.

Playback buttons that are mounted below the flipout display are absolutely brilliant, but we were very disappointed by the side-mounted video/menu wheel, making it awkward for your thumb to swap modes on the fly. Also of note: the HF10 cannot record both flash formats simultaneously. Here are the full specs...
