Single test 		"excellent" (6 out of 6 stars) Value for money: 6 out of 6 stars "Recommended"
Canon's HF10 is described by PC Pro as the first 'truly great' AVCHD camcorder created. It matches or betters HDV-based camcorders and its smaller size works well in its favour and its extreme affordability for what you get makes it a hell of a deal.
