Dual Flash Memory: 64GB internal flash drive & SDHC card slotWhat makes the VIXIA HF S11 stand out in the category of Flash memory camcorders is its Dual Memory capability. You can capture video on the camcorder's internal 64 GB flash memory as well as directly to an SDHC Memory Card.Video recorded to the internal flash drive can also be copied onto a memory card which can then be inserted into your computer or HDTV's card reader slot for immediate viewing. You can also use higher capacity memory cards to further increase the video storage of your VIXIA HF S11.The advantages of flash memory go beyond the added recording time. You'll also appreciate the quick response time, because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. Press the record button and your VIXIA HF S11 starts recording video faster than you've ever seen before. In addition, when you review your footage, it will come up more quickly.Another plus is the VIXIA HF S11's low power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. It's just what you need so you don't miss that pivotal play on the field or the moment when they say "I do."While we certainly hope you keep your VIXIA HF S11 securely in your hand while shooting, if it happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that flash memory makes your camcorder more shock resistant than other recording storage systems. It also minimizes the chance of data loss due to damage to your recording media or to the moving parts found in other camcorders.Genuine Canon 10x HD Video LensFor over 70 years Canon has been producing exceptional photographic lenses that are synonymous with unsurpassed optical performance. Because of Genuine Canon Optics, every Canon broadcast lens, digital camera and camcorder assures brilliant optical quality - and the VIXIA HF S11 is no exception.The VIXIA HF S11 comes with an outstanding high definition video lens - a Genuine Canon 10x HD Video Lens. It's the lens you need to record long shots of your child on the soccer field, wide shots of beautiful landscapes, and everything in between. And because it comes with four zoom speeds--three pre-set and one variable--you always get smooth, steady, professional looking zoom shots.Super Spectra Coating technology results in images with minimal flare and ghosting. Plus, the lens' aspheric design reduces aberration and increases resolution, ensuring crisp, sharp video and enhancing the HD image quality. As well, a gradation neutral density (ND) system gives you better exposures in bright shooting situations.A built-in 1.7x Digital Teleconverter provides an extended telephoto range, while still retaining the renowned Canon image quality. In addition, for those times when you need to get a particular shot from a very long distance, this flexible lens also has a 200x digital zoom. Canon Exclusive: 1/2.6" 8.59 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image SensorThe VIXIA HF S11 captures 1920 x 1080 high definition video through its Canon designed and manufactured 1/2.6" 8.59 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor, similar to the CMOS image sensors in Canon's EOS Series Digital SLR cameras.The VIXIA HF S11's powerful CMOS image sensor provides high color resolution and advanced color reproduction for brilliant results. It is also unique in featuring Canon's proprietary noise reduction technologies for crisp, sharp images. Low noise technology also means that even in dimly lit scenes, the signal from each pixel is as pure as possible, with minimal noise or other aberrations. It's the ideal sensor for HD.The VIXIA HF S11 uses an RGB Primary Color Filter with Bayer Placement Pattern that separates light into red, green and blue color components. This results in vibrant images with deep, rich, accurate color and natural-looking tones similar to what you'd obtain from 3CCD camcorders. As an added benefit, the CMOS sensor provides outstanding image capture in low light conditions.Canon Exclusive: DIGIC DV III Image Processor DIGIC DVIII is Canon's most advanced HD image processor ever, helping to deliver enhanced image quality, true color production for both video and photos, and a sophisticated noise reduction system for exceptional low light performance. It is also the high-speed engine which powers a variety of new Canon technologies including the 8.0 Megapixel photo capture, Genuine Canon Face Detection, an Advanced Auto Exposure system and Simultaneous Photo Recording.Plus, the Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor allows continuous shooting of digital photos with the VIXIA HF S11. You can also enjoy faster processing of your images to your memory card (1.4x normal card; 2.5x Hi-Speed card). In addition, it helps lower power consumption for longer battery life.1920 x 1080 Full HD RecordingThe Canon VIXIA HF S11 not only captures images in Full HD, but records and outputs at 1920 x 108 as well, so you get Full HD from lens to screen. Your memories are preserved in stunning clarity, and ready for playback on your HDTV. With the advanced codec in the VIXIA HF S11, you can also record at the highest AVCHD bit rate of 24Mbps.Canon Exclusive: Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image StabilizationCanon's optical excellence has long been enhanced by our sophisticated optical image stabilization technology. The high-resolution images of high definition video demand a steady hand, and we've taken it to a new level with the VIXIA HF S11's Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization. Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broader range of motion. In comparison to SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization, extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration common when walking. While some image stabilization systems correct one type of camera motion or vibration better than another, Canon's Dynamic SuperRange OIS corrects a variety of camcorder motions: the fast vibration you'd experience while recording from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of hand-held recording; and the slower motion of body sway. No matter what you're recording and how you're recording it, the VIXIA HF S11's stabilization design corrects camcorder shake instantly. In addition, optical image stabilization keeps your shot steady without a loss in image quality - something that can't be said for electronic image stabilization. And image stabilization isn't just for video; you can even use it for taking sharper, clearer digital photographs with your VIXIA HF S11. Thanks to Canon's expertise, it's easy to eliminate one of the telltale signs of amateur video and photography.Canon Exclusive: Instant AF (Auto Focus)Another critical objective when shooting in high definition is achieving a very sharp focus. The VIXIA HF S11 camcorder features Canon's revolutionary Instant AF focusing system which offers a dramatic improvement in auto focus speed and accuracy (compared to traditional auto focus systems). The Instant AF feature uses an external sensor, in combination with Canon's auto focus system, to help significantly decrease the time it takes to find focus, even in low light conditions. This system achieves focus instantaneously, reducing focus "hunting." The benefits of Instant AF are especially seen in high brightness and night shooting situations. With Instant AF, it's possible to capture fast, accurate focusing, even when following a moving subject.And because a properly focused subject is more critical than ever with HD, the VIXIA HF S11 also features Focus Assist. This helps in capturing your subject in razor sharp focus. It works by providing a 2x magnification of your subject (when you start recording, this assistance is automatically cancelled). This is a feature normally found in professional broadcast-quality cameras. Another sophisticated control available on the VIXIA HF S11 is color peaking, which enhances the edges of your subject to aid in focusing.Canon Exclusive: Genuine Canon Face DetectionThe same high quality Face Detection technology used in Canon digital cameras is now available in Canon high definition camcorders. Up to 35 faces can be tracked automatically, ensuring razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure. Of the faces tracked, 9 detection frames can be displayed at one time. The system is in fact so intelligent that it will recognize faces that are turned downwards or sideways. In addition, a specific face may be selected as the main subject for continuous tracking. This feature can be used to search for clips featuring that specific subject's face. In search and playback, use of the Face Index will display frames with the chosen face as a thumbnail in each shot in which it appears. The selected face can be linked as a time line to further identify footage containing that subject.Advanced Auto Exposure SystemThe VIXIA HF S11 has an Advanced AE System inspired by Canon's EOS DSLR cameras. It's designed to provide the most accurate exposure settings in a wide variety of lighting conditions. This enhanced Auto Exposure system, together with Face Detection and DIGIC DV III, captures an expanded dynamic range, optimizing brightness to avoid overexposure, while still preserving important shadow detail.Some include: saturation of face tones in dark situations correction of backlighting correction of overlit (blowout) and underlit (black level correction) 24Mbps RecordingThe 24Mbps recording capability of the VIXIA HF S11 gives you the highest quality AVCHD video possible. You'll see enhanced detail, finer gradations of tones and improved reproduction of moving subjects. Video shot by the VIXIA HF S11 of fast-moving sporting events, multicolored butterflies on a variegated leaf or the shading of a brilliant sunset will be remarkable. 24p Cinema Mode24p Cinema Mode enables all aspiring moviemakers to achieve a professional "film-look." You can change the camcorder's frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film. In addition, you can use the VIXIA HF S11's CINEMA setting, which changes the color and tonal characteristics, evoking the look and feel of a movie shown in a theater. For added flexibility, these settings can be used together or independently.30p Progressive ModeYou would normally have to look to professional video cameras in order to have this sophisticated tool at your command. In addition to the standard interlaced video frame rate of 60i, you may choose to set the VIXIA HF S11 to capture video in 30p, (30 progressive frames, recorded to 60i) which is particularly useful for footage to be used on the Internet. In addition, this setting gives enhanced quality to still images captured after recording. It's also excellent for action shots and sports.Built-in 8.0 Megapixel Digital CameraThe VIXIA HF S11 is not only a superb camcorder but also a brilliant 8.0 Megapixel Digital Camera delivering stunning quality still photos. With many advanced photo features rivaling other state-of-the-art digital cameras, you get the best in both video and photos. An example? The VIXIA HF S11 boastsSimultaneous Photo Shooting, allowing you to capture crisp 6.0 Megapixel photos and video at the same time.The same Canon exclusive CMOS image sensor that ensures sharp, vivid HD video also gives you brilliant digital photographs. Like the CMOS image sensors in Canon's EOS Series digital SLR cameras, the VIXIA HF S11's image sensor results in outstanding digital photographs. It gives an impressive resolution of 8.0 Megapixels for sharp, crisp still images.Canon DIGIC DV III Image ProcessorCanon's exclusive DIGIC DV III Image Processor features improved continuous shooting of digital photographs with the VIXIA HF S11. You can also enjoy faster processing of your images to your memory card (1.4x normal card; 2.5x Hi-Speed card).Focus FeaturesAuto Intelligent Auto Focus (AiAF) ensures sharp images and gives creative flexibility. Even when your subject isn't in the center of the frame, the VIXIA HF S11's 9 Point AiAF will automatically select from 9 metering frames on the screen to help bring images into sharp focus.Auto Exposure ModesLike any good digital still camera, the VIXIA HF S11 lets you choose from a range of exposure modes. Auto mode automatically sets the exposure, letting you concentrate on your subject. AV (aperture priority) mode lets you control the depth of field by letting you choose the aperture. TV (shutter priority) mode lets you select the shutter speed for sharp, action shots. In P (program) mode, the camcorder adjusts camera settings automatically.Program AE ModeYour life happens everywhere, so the VIXIA HF S11 gives you settings that automatically result in the best exposure settings for different conditions and different subjects.Portrait mode ensures shallow depth of field for a pleasing background in your shots of friends and family. Sports mode stops the action with faster shutter speeds. Low Light Mode is designed to give you great shots after the sun goes down. Snow and Beach modes compensate for bright surroundings and give you the proper exposure on your subject. Sunset mode results in vibrant, well-exposed colors for one of the toughest subjects to capture properly. Use Spotlight mode when your child is on stage and in the spotlight - literally - and you want to make sure the exposure is right for them. Fireworks mode records brilliant images of another tough subject - the holiday fireworks display. Night Scene Mode reduces video "noise" and helps to prevent overexposure of artificial lighting from buildings and streetlamps while shooting outdoors in the dark.Selectable Metering PatternsFor optimal exposure, the VIXIA HF S11 offers selectable metering patterns. You can choose the options of Evaluative, which in normal shooting conditions will measure the light in all areas of the subject image, Center-Weighted Average, which gives greater importance to the object in the center of the image, and Spot, which adjusts the exposure exactly to the object in the center of the image.Auto Exposure BracketingIn challenging lighting situations, such as strong backlight, a dark background or a very sunny or snowy day, it can be tricky to get the right exposure for a photo. The AE Bracketing feature of the VIXIA HF S11 automatically takes three versions of the shot, with 'dark,' 'normal' and 'light' settings in ½ exposure steps so you may choose the one that best suits you.Continuous ShootingThe VIXIA HF S11 can capture a rapid succession of photos, just like the motor drive on a still camera. Shoot up to 3 frames per second in the Continuous Mode, or a blazing 5 frames per second in the High Speed Continuous Mode. This feature is ideal for fast action sports or capturing babies on the move. This action is possible in all modes except Fireworks Mode.Simultaneous Photo RecordingWith the VIXIA HF S11, you can record HD video and capture a 6 Megapixel photo to a memory card - simultaneously. Simply press the photo button and you've got an e-mail ready digital photo to share with friends and family.Histogram DisplayFor the advanced digital photographer, the VIXIA HF S11 comes with a Histogram Display - a feature found in Canon's line of digital SLR cameras. The display allows you to see the brightness information of your still images, so you can adjust your exposures as you shoot.Level and Grid MarkersWith the Level Marker feature, it's easy to keep your camera level for more professional looking photographs. Line up any horizontal lines in your shot - such as the horizon - to the marker and you can be sure your camcorder is level.The VIXIA HF S11's Grid Marker feature lets you compose your shot accurately, according to the grid in your viewfinder. You can even choose from two different colors for the grid.

Customer Reviews more useful 79 of 80 people found this review helpful. Not a professional, the guardian of the memory hungry, but simply from the dream, I do months of research before deciding on the S11, and my priority was exceptional image quality and durability. Because flash cameras have no moving parts like a hard drive, flash memory is less susceptible to damage, consumes less energy and reads / writes faster. It 'very expensive but will last for many years while capturing my most highly significant with their families. HD is the way to go. The picture quality is great, and you can easily find examples in preview HD on YouTube, if you're curious to see how this measure in place. Video capture at night is not as bad as what I had read. I can easily make images in my shots at night, although some details have been lost (as expected with a consumer camcorder). A big advantage is that I can take pictures in the video mode, so I did not pack my camera for point-and-shoots as well. This has an integrated 8 megapixel camera if you need more than 64 GB of internal memory expandable with the purchase of an external SDHC card. Canon says to use a minimum Class 4 SDHC card for video, but a lot of people who own video cameras seem to have better results with Flash Class 6 cards (write speed faster than it would mean so many pictures during recording). Remember that 64 GB can capture at least 5 hours and 55 minutes MXP mode and up to 24 hours and 30 minutes in LP mode. There is no electronic viewfinder can be a problem when the screen is hard to see when you are super super bright or dark environments. Unfortunately, your investment does not end with the camera. You'll have to buy stuff EXTRA: * Extra battery - one that lasts 1.5 is included 5 hours at best, I recommend the Canon BP-827 Lithium Ion Battery Pack * for the Vixia HG 20/21, 100 camcorder and HF11/10 * Battery charger - otherwise you can only charge the battery while in the camera so that you have to stop filming while charging * HDMI cable * Remote Adapter RA Canon Vixia HF-V1 for S11 camcorder functions to access the camera, if you use a heavy tripod * Video editing software - Adobe Premiere seem to be very popular for AVCHD video I travel often, so it's not always practical for me to wear a lot of SDHC cards, and I wanted something that would be more user friendly for my people to use. It is strange that Canon charges more for 32GB of memory on the S10 so if the budget is a problem, look in the HF S10 (32 GB internal memory) or HF S100 (no internal memory). The S11 is very similar to the HF and HF S10 S100 models. The differences can only say: - the internal memory of 64 GB (the main reason for this model costs more) - Dynamic SuperRange OIS (which is supposed better quality video while walking and wide angle) - Compatible Canon RA-V1 remote adapter that connect to the accessory shoe to provide a LANC (wired remote) terminal - Extra Scene mode under the light 41 of 42 people found this review helpful a worthy competitor in the prosumer camcorder market by L. ve Wong 'used quite a few cameras, including a professional shoulder mount camcorder model standard definition I paid the price of a small car, and this camcorder is great, even compared to this. So far, I've never been impressed with the performance of the consumer or prosumer video camera because I have long been used to make my professional video camera used to shoot weddings. Make no mistake, HF S11 Canon camcorder is not perfect. But its price is a steal. I will not praise without end, as many critics (including professional evaluators) in fact I will first go on the negative aspects. One of his biggest problems is the audio quality of the microphones. I rolled my eyes when a critical videographer magazine said that the noise of something in order had the effect of "loud and clear." It is not there an almost complete lack of bass.
