Canon's top of the line offering for 2009, the VIXIA HF S10 Dual Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder, provides an impressive 8.59Mp CMOS sensor along with HD recording. This dynamic duo gives you excellent video and 8Mp still images with up to 12 hours of high definition recording to the built-in 32GB flash memory. If you run out of space there's also the SDHC expansion slot, which can hold another 12 hours of HD footage.
Flash memory keeps this camcorder light and compact while high definition gives you excellent image capture. But helping you make your video and stills even better would be the DIGIC DV III Image Processor along with the 10x HD Video Lens, 2.7" wide LCD and the SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer.
