The HF G10 features excellent audio as well. Connections include USB 2.0, Component and Composite outputs, a mini HDMI, as well as headphone and microphone jacks. Other important basics include 10x optical zoom, a 58mm filter diameter, and a number of terminals. The lens boasts an 8 blade iris, and a 4.25-42.5mm focal length(30.4-305 35mm equivalent). The HF G10 is also equipped with a generous 3.5' touch panel LCD display, a color viewfinder, optical image stabilization, and a Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens. The image processor reduces noise, corrects color for life-like reproduction, and also powers a number of proprietary Canon features like Smart Auto and the Cinema-Look Filters. Working with the sensor to create each shot is Canon's DIGIC DV III Image Processor. The Canon 1/3' HD CMOS Pro Image Sensor boasts excellent low light performance and a wide dynamic range, giving you flexibility unseen in most consumer camcorders. You can also shoot video that's optimized for the Internet with the 30p Progressive mode. Some choices include Cinema Standard, Dramatic B&W, Nostalgic, Old Movie, and Sepia.

Using Cinema-Looks Filters you boost that film look with nine built-in adjustable filters. With the 24p frame rate options you can give your footage a truly cinematic look. The HF G10 records at 60i, in native 24p, and in the 24p Cinema mode and 30p Progressive mode (both at 60i).

It shoots 1920 x 1080 high definition video, but we'll say it anyway. The Canon Legria HF G10 Flash Memory Camcorder (PAL) brings professional capabilities to those who seek to do more while staying within the means of a consumer budget.
