Canon HG10

Canon's first AVCHD 40GB HDD camcorder compares favorably to the HV20, its HDV cousin, besting it even in build & handling, but, digital compression having its price, it can't quite match it in image quality. Price tag: 949€.


Alas, as good as this one looks & sounds, there's no UW housing yet.

UPDATE: Even better, Canon has announced its first two AVCHD flash memory camcorders, the HF10 (RSP 1299€) with 16GB internal flash memory as well as a SDHC slot, and the HF100 (RSP 1099€) with SDHC slot only. Both are expected to be available from April 2008.
