Just received Canon HF S10

What's so lousy about HDV? We are not talking about 1st generation HDV here (JVC) that gave the codec a bad name. There is absolutely nothing wrong with HDV....especially the way Canon implements it. If that cam's picture turns out tobe nicer or sharper than the A1 it wouldn't be because of the codec used. It does have a much higher pixel count....which also means that the low light would not be as good as the A1.



I'm totally with you on the HDV subject. I've had absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. I hear so many people slammin' on it I wonder if they've actually worked with it or just spewing someones opinion they read.
Not that I'm a canon fan boy, I've got Panasonics too and I know this is a Pansonic flavoured site but come on get over the HDV thing.........Maybe the reason some peoples footage looks so bad has nothing to do with the camera..............:Drogar-Dum(DBG):
 
seriously ... hdv is perfectly usable as a format.

Canon's implementation (especially its progressive modes) is the best I've seen.
