FROM ITS GLITTER-infused black casing to its luminous 2.7-inch LCD and rock-solidly stabilized 12x lens, the HF10 is a work of art. Its good for your thumbs too, with a user-friendly mode dial, ever-so-rockable zoom lever and duplicate controls by the side of the screen.

Recording to either 16GB of internal memory an SDHC card, it captures 1080p of tasty eye candy, with the most vibrant, natural colors on test and confident detail. With good manual controls and photo flash, only slightly grainy skin tones let the optical side down.

The HF10 may not be as small and light as the Panasonic, or as metallic and elegant as the Sony, but the Canon wows you with superb features and brilliant handling. oh, and the glitter helped. We’re suckers for all types of glitter.

LOVE Beautiful colors. Classy 12x zoom. Strong manual features. Roomy 16GB internal memory.

HATE Not cheap. A touch of grain here and there.
