Canon has expanded it’s Vixia camcorder line with the release of three new camcorders, including the Vixia HF11.  Perhaps the biggest buzz about the HF11 is it’s dual flash memory capabilities.  Simply put, the Vixia HF11 allows you to record to an internal flash drive and an SD card simultaneously.  That means more flexibility, and a faster transfer of video files than with digital camcorders that don’t have dual flash capabilities.

Other improved features with the Canon Vixia HF11 include 24 MB per second recording for greater detail, and smoother transitionining in capturing movement.  With a 32GB flash drive, the Vixia HF11 stores 12 hours and 15 minutes of high definition video, sports 12X optical zoom, and features a 2.7 inch multi-angle adjustable LCD screen.   Read more about Canon’s expanded line of  Vixia camcorders.

Canon released their first line of HD flash camcorders this month, the Canon HF10 and HF100. According to this news source, the two HF models are about the same:

“both camcorders are basically identical, with each featuring Full HD recording (1920×1080 resolution), 12x optical zoom, and the ability to record footage at 24p and 30p frame rates. Optical image stabilization and a 3.3 megapixel CMOS sensor round out the camcorders’ features.”

The HF10 relies on internal memory and/or flash memory cards, while the HF100 operates on memory cards only. Both camcorders are on the pricey side. But since Canon is a reliable brand, it would be a worthwhile investment.

The Canon HF10 starts at $879.

And the HF100 starts at $1099.
