Top 3 Canon Flagship Prosumer HD Camcorders of 2010
Following my pursuit to identify the best HD camcorder in Digital HD Camcorder Year 2010, checking all the pocket camcorder reviews, and reading how to choose a camcorder in 2010, I’m getting very close to making a buying decision.
I’m really interested in the Canon Vixia HF S200 High Definition Camcorder 2010, a flash memory media slot camcorder with Twin SDHC memory card slots and Relay Recording. The Canon Vixia HF S200 Digital Camcorder is one of the Best HD Camcorders for picture quality in a consumer camcorder I have reviewed to date.
To eliminate hard drives and other moving parts, the VIXIA HF S200 video camera uses flash memory to store recorded video to the AVCHD video format, and by inserting two 32 GB class 4 or 6 SD/HC cards into the Twin SDHC memory card slots, you can easily record and store over 24 hours of high definition video.
This has the added benefit of giving up to 90 minutes recording time with the supplied battery. A 3.5 inch high resolution touch screen LCD display is large enough to clearly see your recording subject.
10x optical zoom gets you closer in crisp clear detail, while optical image stabilization with dynamic mode gives you steady shots even when walking.
A choice of auto exposure or manual with face detection, and the same options for focus.
Choose your frame rate, 24progressive for movie quality or 30fps for normal, with a down-converter from MPEG 4 files to standard definition MPEG 2 files for the web.
Video gain option to increase low light performance with reduced image noise.
User friendly menu for quickly finding the functions you need while recording.
The Canon VIXIA HF S200 has a hot shoe, a very useful accessory, and a built-in video light, as well as jacks for a microphone input and headphones.
If you prefer built-in Flash Memory, Canon has the HF S21 with 64GB Flash Memory and the Canon HF S20 with 32GB of Flash Memory, but otherwise with the same specifications as the Twin SDHC memory card slot of the Canon HF S200.
If you liked the earlier Canon R100, you will love the S200, as the R100, good as it is, has only 1 SDHC memory card slot, the S200 has 2, also the S200 has down conversion and an optical image stabilizer. The LCD screen is also nearly an inch wider on the S200, + the S200 has a much bigger sensor. So if your budget will stretch to the Canon Vixia HF S200, go for it.
Wrapping this up, the worthy Top 3 Flagship Prosumer Canon HD camcorders for 2010 are the Canon HF S20, Canon HF S21 and the Canon Vixia HF S200, and with a host of other features, the quality, size, and price makes the Canon Vixia HF S200 High Definition Camcorder my nomination for camcorder of the year 2010.
