Canon HG10 Highlights
AVCHD-format HDD in a compact size The HG10 is Canon first AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) hard disk drive camcorder. AVCHD uses an MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video codec, recording true 1080 high-definition resolution video. It allows you to capture more video onto a hard disk using less storage, for extended recording time. You can play the video directly from the camcorder on your HDTV, or easily download it onto your Windows XP or Vista system computer for playback, editing or sharing with friends and family. You can also burn video onto DVDs which play in AVCHD compatible Blu-ray disc players. Higher audio quality is also yours with the AVCHD format. All of this comes in a compact AVCHD format HDD camcorder, measuring only 3.2 inches wide, 3 inches high and 5.1 inches deep.
Added to the HG10 handy size is the convenience of shooting high definition onto a hard disk. You will never tape over a precious moment by accident, since the disk automatically searches for a blank space on which to record.
Full HD on a 40GB hard disk drive The HG10 captures 1920 x 1080 high-definition resolution video onto a 40GB hard disk drive. A convenient format for anyone who wants to transfer video to a computer for viewing, editing or sharing, it also makes your life easier as you never have to worry about not carrying around enough recording media with you as you shoot your future memories. In LP mode, you will be able to record up to 15 hours of video. Even when shooting in super high quality mode, five-and-a-half hours of footage is yours without taking a break to change tapes or DVDs.
HDD recording also delivers true random-access play, letting you get to the scene you select instantly.
With the HG10 built-in HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) Terminal, it is easy to transfer the HD video signal to your HDTV. With a single cable, you will send a pure digital signal, audio and video, to your television to get the ultimate HD viewing experience.
1920 x 1080 full-HD CMOS sensor The HG10 captures 1920x1080 HD video through its Canon-designed-and-manufactured CMOS image sensor, similar to the CMOS image sensors in Canon's EOS-series digital SLR cameras.
Compared to a CCD, the HG10 CMOS's high color resolution and advanced color reproduction gives brilliant results. It is also unique in featuring Canon's proprietary noise reduction technologies for crisp, sharp images. Low noise technology also means that even in dimly lit scenes, the signal from each pixel is as pure as possible, with minimal noise or other aberrations. It's the ideal sensor for HD.
The HG10 uses an RGB Primary Color Filter with Bayer Placement Pattern that separates light into red, green and blue color components. This results in vibrant images with deep, rich, accurate color and natural-looking tones similar to what you'd obtain from 3CCD camcorders. In addition, the Bayer Placement Pattern delivers sharp high definition images with true-to-life color reproduction. As an added benefit, the CMOS sensor provides outstanding image capture in low light conditions.
Canon 10x HD video zoom lens The HG10 comes with an outstanding high-definition video lens -- a 10x HD Genuine Canon zoom lens. It is the tool you need to record long shots of your child on the soccer field, wide shots of beautiful landscapes, and everything in-between. And because it comes with three pre-set zoom speeds, you always get smooth, steady, professional-looking zoom shots.
Super Spectra Coating technology results in images with minimal flare and ghosting. Plus, the new lens aspheric design reduces aberration and increases resolution, ensuring crisp, sharp video and enhancing the HD image quality. Not only that, but a new gradation neutral density (ND) system gives you better exposures in bright shooting situations.
In addition, for those times when you need to get a particular shot from a very long distance, this flexible lens also has a 200x digital zoom.
