Canon HF10 vs HF20 | ||

| I'm rather on market for tape camcorder, but I still have question about card ones.
HF10 is older model than HF20, but has bigger sensor (HF10-1/3" vs 1/4" on HF20) Is HF20 sensor is better despite that is smaller? Main difference is that HF20 is capable of 24mBps recording. Anyone? thnx | ||

| Reviews are lacking but camcorder info is hinting the small sensor is a relatively poor performer.
http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sanyo-Xacti-VPC-HD2000-Camco ... arison.htm Take a look at the Canon HF S100 for much better performance. http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Canon-HF-S100-Camcorder-Review-36389.htm | ||

| I recently bought the HF200 and did the same comparison. Yeah, the HF200 has a smaller physical sensor but greater density so an overall larger effective pixel count.
HF200 is capable of 24mbps recording. Supposedly, some consider the HF11 better but general consensus was the HF20 is better than than the HF10. Consider getting the SDHC only models because of the significant price difference. For me, also easier to pop out the SDHC card than hook up the entire camcorder to the PC. | ||

| I recently too bought the HF200 after debating a lot whether to got for the HF10 or HF200 (same price), but got the HF200 because I simply wanted the newer model. I do see quite a bit of noise when filming indoors in auto mode (better with cinema mode) but I figured I won't be shooting that much in darker circumstances anyway.
Got a walk-through-my-home video for anyone that's interested on youtube. | ||

| Anyone thinking a Canon HF-10 is good enough, check these weekend refurbs on Tiger Direct. Only $250.

| I have heard that the motor noise level in this camcorder is rather loud, and noticeable during audio playback-a definite No, No! | ||
| edDV posted 2009 May 24 21:29 | ||
If only it had an external mic jack and manual audio level control. But I repeat myself. | ||

just what motor is it you hear? they are all flash memory card based recorders. | ||
| pepegot1 posted 2009 May 24 21:40 | ||
| My mistake. Confused it with the (HV) MinDV models. | ||
| edDV posted 2009 May 24 21:43 | ||
| Zoom motor maybe? | ||
| minidv2dvd posted 2009 May 24 21:46 | ||
