Canon FS40 Flash Memory Camcorder

The Canon FS40 Flash Memory Camcorder is a budget-friendly way to record your memories, especially when your needs go beyond point-and-shoot. A host of user-friendly shooting controls assist you while you record, while an 8GB internal flash memory and the option to record to SD/SDHC/SDXC cards ensures hours of non-interrupted capture. Both the flash memory media options and the camera's features make for a simple, entry-level experience.

The FS40 has the standard 2.7" LCD screen for record and review of your footage, along with other basic features that have become the norm: a variety of zoom options, including 41x Advanced zoom, and image stabilization. You videos will be in focus and easy to watch thanks to these handy features.

When it comes to the previously mentioned shooting controls, a whole host of options are at your fingertips. Use Advanced Video Snapshot to shoot short movie clips of 2, 4, or 8 seconds. By adding background music you can create a quick, fun snippet that's ideal for Internet sharing. Another feature called Program AE takes the guesswork out of shooting in a variety of settings. Just set the camera for your specific situation and let it do all the work. Other helpful features that let you focus on recording while the camera does the heavy lifting include Pre-Record, flicker reduction, and Quick Start, among others.
