Canon's FS22 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder is ideal for people who don't want to deal with DVDs, tapes, or hard drive recording. Affordable and lightweight, the FS22 stores over 20 hours of video to its internal 32GB flash memory and gives you the option of using SDHC Memory Cards, should you need more space. Flash memory is easy to upload to your computer for editing or sharing on the Internet.

The FS22 features a 1.07Mp 1/6" CCD image sensor, Canon's DIGIC DV II Image Processor, 48x Advanced Zoom, and a 2.7" LCD display. This camera also captures digital stills and comes with extras like external microphone and headphone jacks.

Soccer moms and dads will appreciate the Pre-record mode, which captures a full 3 seconds of video before you hit the button, ensuring that you won't miss the start of the action.

In addition, the built-in video light, Quick Start mode and Intelligent Li-ion battery all make your recording experience a pleasant one. The FS22 gives you the convenience of flash memory at an affordable price.

Dual Flash Memory
Record over 20 hours of footage to the 32GB internal flash memory. Expand your recording time by using an optional SDHC memory card.
Image Sensor & DIGIC DV II
The 1.07Mp 1/6" CCD image sensor works in tandem with Canon's DIGIC DV II Image Processor to reduce image noise and customize the color and tonality of your video and still images.
48x Advanced Zoom
Canon's 48x Advanced Zoom extends the length of the camera's longest zoom, so you can record far off subjects clearly and in focus with almost no loss in image quality.
2.7" Widescreen LCD
The widescreen LCD gives you a generous display on which to compose and playback your shots, not to mention an accurate view of what you're actually recording.
Digital Image Capture
There's no need to carry both a digital camera and camcorder to every event. The FS22 captures 1152 x 684 digital still photos to SDHC memory cards and includes special functions to make shooting easier, such as scene modes and auto focus.
Electronic Image Stabilization
The electronic image stabilizer corrects for inevitable camera shake, not just due to an unsteady hand but also when your subject is moving or you're lightly bumped.

      Comments about Canon FS22 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder:

      It still amazes me how small this camcorder is. If you have really large hands it may be too small but for me it works and its nice to be able to carry it around in a bag thats twice as small as my old one. I like dual memory because i can keep different events (sports seasons and other school and family events) separate until i'm ready to transfer them. Plenty of internal memory even at best quality setting. Results have been fine in the gymnasium,auditorium, and outdoors. Navigating the menu is fairly simple. You should be able to play with it for 5 or 10 minutes and have it pretty much figured out, however, one should still read the manual. Very happy with ease of use and quality of recording.
      Very good optical zoom and because of that you really have to resist over using it. Haven't drained the battery while using it yet but got a backup battery just to be safe. Overall, this camcorder performs just as i hoped it would and i'm looking forward to many years of enjoyment with it.

                The movie clips are clear and sharp, the single frame shots are just as clear. I like the way you can zoom in with the single frame and get crisp clear photos. The unit is easy to hold and with the weight it makes it easy to keep steady.
