...in magazines I chose the Canon HF100 to replace our six year old Panasonic DV camcorder. I ordered it, tested it for a day, disliked it and returned it to the shop as soon as possible, and this review will explain why. What's the deal with the Canon HF10/100? The Canon HF10/100 is a third generation AVCHD format camcorder that saves films to SD cards. The Canon HF10 differs from the HF100 two ways; it has a nice black paint job and features ...
