Canon Releases HF S10 Hi-Def Camcorder
The Canon HF S10 Camcorder is a high quality, all-in-one camcorder. Featuring Full HD resolution AVCHD recording at 24Mbps, the HF S10 can capture still photos at an amazing 6 megapixels while simultaneously recording video, or even 8 megapixels in still mode.
The Canon 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.
The Canon HF S10 also features 24p mode, for movie-like look, and 30p mode, perfect for recording video for viewing on a computer monitor. Instant AF is included for fast focus in almost any situation. It also features a 2.7 inch widescreen LCD.
If you are into experimenting with video editing, you will love the addition of an external microphone jack with audio level control on the 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.
On the whole this looks like an extremely feature packed camcorder, and definitely one to consider if you are looking for a high end HD camcorder.
