Top 3 Canon Flagship Prosumer HD Camcorders of 2010
Jun 25, 2010 Camcorders
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.

Pocket Cam, Prosumer Cam And Professional Camcorders 2010
Jun 14, 2010 Camcorders
First off, let’s define the above terms.
The pocket cam or pocket digital Camcorder is as the name suggests, a small Camcorder which fits easily into a pocket or purse for easy access with minimum fuss.
Don’t be fooled by the small size of the pocket digital Camcorder though, for many of the new models of pocket cam in 2010 can record Full HD video resolution of 1920 x 1080 just like the Prosumer cams and professional camcorders, and this resolution will match the capability of your new flat screen TV.
Couple this with the capability to take still shots of 5MP, or some of them even 10MP, a USB arm to swing out and connect directly to YouTube, a good digital zoom of maybe 4x, image stabilization, face detection and a media card slot for inserting an SD/HC card, and you are well armed to record anything at a moments notice, and all for well under $200.
An example of a good pocket cam is the Sony Bloggie,
So why would you need anything other than a pocket cam or pocket digital camcorder you may be asking? Well, let’s move on to the Prosumer cam.
A Prosumer cam can be defined as HD camcorders which have all the features of a pocket digital camcorder recording in Full HD video resolution, but equipped with many more features such as up to two card slots capable of holding SD/HC cards up to 64GD each.
Some have internal hard drives also, while others have a combination of the two.
The Prosumer cam will certainly have an optical zoom of 10x or up to 20x, as well as a digital zoom, whereas a pocket cam will usually have just a digital zoom with a maximum of possibly 4x. The clarity of an optical zoom far exceeds that of a digital zoom, so this will affect your results a lot.
You can expect many other features in a Prosumer cam such as the features found in Canon’s top-of-the-line, new VIXIA HF S10 Dual Flash Memory camcorder:
A large internal flash memory of 32GB capable of recording up to 12 hours of video, dual flash memory card slots,
24Mbps, the highest bit rate in Full HD video resolution AVCHD
30p Progressive Mode
new zebra patterns, color peaking, a Custom Key and Dial, and shooting modes including 24p Cinema Mode for recording video that looks like a holiday blockbuster.
Full HD CMOS Image Sensor, Histogram Display, Level and Grid Markers, Color peaking, Color bars with Test Tone, Gain control function, Microphone Level Control (Auto/Manual), Automatic Gain Control Limits (On/Off).
The features list on a Prosumer cam go on and on:
Variable Zoom Speed Control, Level and Grid Markers, Microphone Terminal with Manual Audio Level Control, Built-in Electronic lens Cover, Video Flash Light, Wireless Controller WL-D88 and more….
I’m sure you get the message by now, if you can afford to pay just a few hundred $ more for a Prosumer cam instead of $200 for a pocket digital camcorder, you will have a HD camcorders which will be the envy of not just your friends but of the whole city.
HD camcorders cannot get any better than this can they?
Well, yes they can if you can spend between $2000 and $5000 for Full HD video resolution professional camcorders.
This end of the market for Professional camcorders is mainly dominated by Sony, Panasonic, Canon and JVC, and rather than me trying to do them justice I would rather you click on the link above and see the phenomenal quality which they all offer.
