I purchased this Canon video/photo camera for our holiday to Aussieland, I wanted something good, that produced top quality film and photos, this more than exceeds my request, so that I dont have to carry tapes, batteries etc. This is the perfect answer, a brilliant camera and the company who provided it were first class. Would recommend them and deffinitely reccoment this camera.
Reviewed by: Amazon Reviewer Rating: Date Reviewed: 05Apr2009 | | | I have been playing with my new HG21 all day and am really impressed. It is very easy to use even without using the easy button option. I was surprised how lightweight it was compared to my old canon MVX Dv camcorder and slightly smaller too. this makes it very easy to take out and about. The dull winter weather I thought would be a challenge, but the quality was more than I expected. It has a variety of recording types (standard play is still better resolution than my old (non HD camera) and higher qual is brilliant right up to 24mps). the large HD drive will hold 35 hours of standard play(about 12mps), more hours at LP, or less for higher quality- down to 11 hours of full top level. But beware if you want to use the top qual 25mps you need a super computer to be able to edit it -I have a HD sony viao laptop (intel duel 2.0ghz )but its too slow so I will have to content myself with the 17mps shoot until I can buy a bigger cpu! (plus you need 2gb ram)
The camera comes with some editing software -just as well as there are not many available and they can be pricy too- however it is fairly basic, but works (well I have not written any DVDs out yet but capture and playback was easy to master. thats how you can see how good the real quality of the movie is, as the LCD cannot do justice to it.)
The main reason I chose this model over the other slightly cheaper ones is the fact that it has a view finder as well as the LCD screen, as well as getting the best independent write ups when I seached the web.
So overall verdict is that I am very impressed so far -cant wait for some sunny weather!
