New Canon 64GB Camcorder Vixia HF S11 and Canon G11 Touchscreen Camera

Topic:

Today Canon announced the launch of two new high-end products. The Vixia HF S11 Dual Flash Memory camcorder contains 64 GB of flash memory, which gives you up to 24 hours of actual high-def recording time. It also has SDHC support, so you can also record data directly to removable drives. This new Vixia also comes with an 8 megapixel camera, and features face detection and instant auto-focus.

The HF S11 is definitely one of the sweeter camcorders out on the market. The ability to record a full day on the internal drive is incredibly nice, and should prove convenient for serious travellers and amateur filmmakers alike. Be forewarned though; at $1,499, this is definitely not a low-cost recording option.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i Review

Topic:

Canon unveiled the Canon EOS Rebel T1i DSLR camera in March. Our review partner Digital Trends tested this exciting DSLR and published this review.
Quote from the review: "Time for your head to start spinning: In September 2008, Nikon introduced the $999 12.3MP D90, the first DSLR with HD video recording. Canon quickly followed with the $2,699 21.1MP EOS 5D Mark II, which captured 1080p video instead of the 720p of arch rival Nikon. But close to $3,000 is pretty steep for a camera in the midst of a recession, so the 5D didn’t dampen the appeal of the D90. Read more

The new Vixia HF200 is a good example. This new entry-level AVCHD camcorder records at 24 Mbps, compared to last year's 17, which translates to better video on your TV screen. Read more

Quote from the review: "The Holy Grail for camcorder owners is one device that takes great high-def video and outstanding stills, all in a compact package.
