HG10 or HF10?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi, I recently got the HG10 for my birthday a few days ago. It was refurbished and cost $390. I like it, but the 15mbps and 1440x1080 recording are constantly itching me to return it. The HF10 is what I would replace it with, having higher bitrate and 1920x1080 recording. Also, it is smaller and has the more durable and flexible flash memory. I am aware that its sensor is smaller, 1/3.2 compared to 1/2.7, and it has no viewfinder, but nevertheless, It still seems to be a good possibility. On Ebay, there are used HF10s that are on bid for incredibly low prices (starting bids of 1 dollar) and that come with SDHC cards, and there is a new one on a different website for $450. What should I do?

HG10: + Multipurpose ring, which is great for pulling focus; zoom rocker; standard shoe; - has no manual mic control
HF100/10/11: + 30p (better and easier for the Web than the HG10's 24p, which has to be IVTC'd), manual mic control - no focus ring/wheel

If you want artsy focus pull, get the HG10. If you want better sound control or if you want ready-for-YouTube 30p, get the HF100/10/11.

HF200 is great in bright light, crap in low light. Video quality? In the end it all is about the content. The TM700 will kill any consumer camera when shooting at 60p.
