Canon's VIXIA HF M300 Flash Memory Camcorder is a 1920 x 1080 high definition camera that records up to 12 hours of video (LP mode) to SD/SDHC memory cards. The HF M300 also doubles as a digital still camera with the ability to shoot 3.3MP stills, along with Dual Shot capture and capturing stills from already shot movies, among other functions.
At the heart of the HF M300 is the 3.89MP Full HD CMOS sensor and Canon's DIGIC DV III Image Processor. Other tools, like the Canon HD Video Lens, Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization, a 2.7" LCD, and 18x Advanced Zoom all help to capture your videos with ease.
Other beneficial features include 24Mbps AVCHD recording, 24p and 30p frame modes, and microphone and headphone terminals. Features like Touch & Track, Face Detection, Advanced Video Snapshot, and Instant AF all take the guesswork out of getting just the shot you want. And last but not least, the HF M300 provides you with a video light and built-in flash for low-light shooting of both video and stills.

The selected face can be linked as a timeline to further identify footage containing that subject
