My personal take on the entire direct to DVD camcorder business is to steer clear. Unless you never want to edit your footage, these camcorders are more hassle than they are worth. The data output isn't supported by most of the major video editors, which means you have to rip your DVD before you can edit. Canon's DC10 is no different than the many DVD offerings Sony is shoving down our throats. Still, you shouldn't take my word for it. Camcorderinfo.com offers an indepth look at Canon's first foray into DVD camcorders.
