Canon HF W10 Overview

Compact, durable, and capable, the Canon VIXIA HF W10 Camcorder is ready to shoot in nearly any scenario.

Record up to 1920 x 1080p60 AVCHD video on the internal 8GB flash memory or add a separately available SD card in the built-in SD card slot. You can also snap 2MP stills while simultaneously recording video. A waterproof rating up to 16.4', shockproof rating up to 4.9', and freezeproof rating down to 14°F make the W10 a highly durable camera in rough conditions. Advanced image stabilization keeps the image steady while reducing shake and jitter, especially at longer focal lengths.

The camera is also compatible with a separately available 5V, 5200mAh portable battery. Its 3" touch-panel LCD makes it easy to access settings and to enable advanced features such as face tracking and time-lapse recording. Included are an AC adapter with adapter cable and a USB Type-A to micro-USB Type-B cable.
