Canon FS10 - Digital Video Camcorder (Pannal HG2)

This is a compact video camcorder from the days just before smartphones with video-recording took off! (So around 2010.)

Despite its vintage, it might still be handy for budding film-makers.

It's in very good condition as it's been kept in its original box since about 2011.

It records standard definition (SD) video and uses a built-in condenser microphone.

It records onto an internal memory (8 GB), but an SD-card can be inserted to increase the capacity.

There's a flap-out video panel in which you can review your recordings, or they can be downloaded to a computer via the included USB cable.

In giving it a quick test, the only issue I found was that the battery pack doesn't seem to want to charge. So I had to keep the power cable plugged in.

Depending on your application, that might be fine (e.g. if you set it up in a fixed position, trained on your bird-table or something). Alternatively, you might be able to get a replacement battery pack from Canon.

There is a full manual included.
