After years of use, the Canon FH 10 surpassed the test of time providing high definition video for family gatherings to film school. Its sixteen GB internal flash drive proved useful, storing countless hours of film which could be easily upload to MAC or PC.
The excellent design of the camcorder makes it a stylish and easy to use at the same time. The size of the camera, 2.9 by 2.5 by 5.1 inches, makes it easy to use and carry around.
