Canon HG10: The World’s Smallest HDD-Based HD Camcorder

There was a time when people who wanted to make home movies were stuck with gigantic, overpriced camcorders that took lousy video. Furthermore, once that video was shot, it was such a pain to edit that you ended up having to sit through 20 minute takes of a birthday party rather than just skipping to the good stuff. Oh, how times have changed.

We’re entering a time of affordable HD, with consumer-priced camcorders delivering high definition video worthy of being broadcast on TV. And with tapes going the way of the dodo, camcorders such as the new Canon HG10 record straight to a built-in hard drive. No more rewinding and fast forwarding for you. The new worlds-smallest HD camcorder will let you dump your digital video straight to your computer for editing and then burning to DVD. With digital video so easy, it’s no wonder so many more people are getting into it.
