Review Summary: Great camera Date: 2008-11-19
 
Details: This is a great camera. Exceptional functionality. Easy to use. Wonderful quality. The only problem I've had with this camera is the image stabilization -- it's *ok* but not as good as the image stabilization on my other (cheaper) camera. Other than this minor complaint, I'm extremely happy with my choice of this camera.
 
Review Summary: Question... Date: 2008-11-12
 
Details: Can anyone tell me how fast is one cycle(actual time between taking 1 pic. and take another) of taking photo w/ xacti hd1010 plz?
 
Review Summary: NOT THAT GREAT Date: 2008-11-11
 
Details: While it does shoot at 60p, the image quality is mediocre at best. Motion artifacts every time you pan (and this is true ALSO for interlaced resolutions so let's not go there) Heavily compressed image looks "plastic" and too electronic. Just like the type of video you can shoot with a point-and-shoot digital camera, but at higher pixel count.
The size vs convenience ratio simply does not justify the price and poor picture quality.
 
Review Summary: 99% satisfied Date: 2008-11-07
 
Details: i bought the xacti specifically for my 2 week vacation in japan... i'm very satisfied with the results...the video and pics are superb... i took 2 batteries...but only needed one for a full day of shooting... i took 2 16gb sd cards and used 80% of both...so...these cards are very adequate for the avg traveller...

i did a lot of filming while walking and the vids were jiggly...so...when i wanted to see something specifically...i'd stop walking and shoot still...this worked great as i'll be able to edit out a lot of the boring walking parts... while filming in the car...the vids came out much much more stable. i did use the still pic mode too...they turned out great...

the nero that came with the cam is out of date...but...i was lucky that nero 8 came out with a $[...] buck rebate...so...it cost me $[...] bucks to upgrade...i believe nero 9 is out now... i also have a new laptop and it has all the right stuff for hd playback... quicktime doesn't work...it distorts the vids...

so...i highly recommend the xacti hd1010...bon voyage...
 
Review Summary: I love it - I am a simpleton Date: 2008-11-06
 
Details: The reviewer "A Edwards" really did a great job on the review. When I read it, it swayed me over to make the purchase and I am not sorry.

Now, I'm not the best video shooter on earth but NONE of my shots so far have been shaky at all. Image stabilization is not an issue for me. I am a simpleton though. I do take basic videos of the kids at the park, driving my car (don't ask) and chasing the dog around the house.

The images look great on my 52" Samsung TV and no one gets dizzy or sick. The HD playback is *stunning* and really is the best video recorder I have ever owned. I shot a blair witch simulation and I gotta say that the pores on my face never looked so good. WOW does it get the detail!

Some of you complain that your computer cannot handle playback. I did notice a strange behavior when I used quicktime to playback my videos. It seemed like every 59th frame would skip ahead to frame 65 resulting in a chop every one second. I fixed this by simply playing the videos using a FREE application called VLC. That fixed my problem 100%. Google it and install it. It's a trusted app. No malware, people.

My only issue is disk space. Seems like 1-2 minutes of full on HD@60fps runs about 200Mb. OUCH! The question is: What really IS deserving of recording at full HD? It's really a hard question. I mean, I want EVERYTHING I record to be awesome and HD but lets face it, its not worth the disk space. I lowered the resolution to 720@60fps and the size is much smaller with little sacrafice to quality.

My suggestion is: Shoot the wedding at full rez. Shoot the grand canyon at full rez. Shoot your dog running around at 720! Its up to you but even a 1Tb drive will fill quickly (6 mos or less) if you shoot it all at HD.

Not so long ago, I watched my brother-in-law purchase a Panasonic digital SD camera for more than the XACTI and he is hating life! Why? Because they chose a proprietary format to encode so each time he records, he copies to his computer and must decode each file individually to a format his computer can recognize. The XACTI is the opposite and something that was done right from the start. Record, pull the SD card, insert into computer, copy and watch! It's that simple. No hassles...No strings attached.

If you can afford this gadget, I cannot stress enough how well rounded it is. The only SERIOUS con is that it DOES Look like a gun and casually strolling around town with it will eventually get the attention of the local cops who might front you so be smart and holster this bad boy when in public.
