Canon Pushes Pro Features for Flagship HD Camcorders in ‘09 - HF S100, HF S10, HF20, and HF200 - Canon
Canon announced the release of four high definition flash memory camcorders today. Two models, the HF S100 and HF S10, are loaded with features clearly aimed to entice budget-minded professionals and amateur filmmakers. The lower-tier models, the HF200 and HF20, offer fewer features but still show improvements over previous models.
All four camcorders record video in the AVCHD format in full 1920 x 1080 at 24Mbps, the fastest possible bitrate for the codec. All four include the latest generation DIGIC DVIII processor, which adds two new features: face detection for up to a purported 35 faces and an improved auto exposure system. Canon reports that the new processor also allows for better dynamic range.
