The Canon VIXIA HF S10 camcorder may be, perhaps, the closest thing to a high quality, all-in-one camcorder/camera device out on the market. Featuring Full HD resolution AVCHD recording at 24Mbps (the highest possible), the Canon VIXIA HF S10 can capture still photos at 6 megapixels while you are simultaneously recording video, or even 8 megapixels in still mode.
The Canon VIXIA HF S10 uses a large 1/2.6-inch, 8.59 megapixel CMOS sensor along with Canon’s DIGIC DV III image processor to create a sharp, accurate picture. You can use Canon’s face detection feature to make sure you get the right objects in focus when you are shooting, and optical image stabilization will make sure the picture stays steady.
Videos and stills on the Canon VIXIA HF S10 can be recorded to either a 32GB internal flash drive or a removable SDHC card.
24p mode, for movie-like look, and 30p mode, perfect for recording video for viewing on a computer monitor, are featured on the Canon VIXIA HF S10. Instant AF is included for fast focus in almost any situation. The Canon VIXIA HF S10 also features a 2.7″ widescreen LCD.
If you are at all into customizing how your video will turn out, you will love the addition of an external microphone jack with audio level control on the Canon VIXIA HF S10. Optionally you can use the mini shoe terminal on the top of the camcorder with a specially made Canon external microphone. The HF S10 even includes a headphone jack for monitoring.
All in all, this looks like a very exciting camcorder, and definitely one to look at if you are looking for a top-of-the-line consumer camcorder.
