Review summary: A small standard definition camcorder for those who just want to point and shoot - video footage that is.

Verdict: Canon has embraced Flash memory with gusto in the last couple of months. However, where the HF10 is a groundbreaking device, the FS11 is merely good in its class. Video performance is marginally better than Panasonic's SDR-S7EB-K, and it has more...

Review summary: The Canon HF S11 is the latest flagship camcorder from Canon. The market is always interested to see what Canon has up its sleeve, but the HF S11 offers very few advantages over the HF S10, released earlier this year. Sure, you have the same solid...

Verdict: The Canon HF S11 (MSRP $1399) is another excellent contender among this year's high definition camcorders. Its bright light video performance rivals just about anything you'll see from any manufacturer in 2009. In low light, however, the HF S11 does...

Review summary: Canon Vixia HF S11 is a mid-ranged camcorder; not as technically deep as the Vixia HF 20 or 200; but it is a class act on its own. Very consumer-friendly, and an easy to handle model from the Vixia range; the Canon Vixia HF S11, S10 and S100 are more...

Review summary: Since the HF S11's focal length is limited to 43 mm as a 24 x 36 equivalent, Canon offers a converter for widening the field of view, the WD-H58 Wide Converter, which reduces the focal length by a factor of 0.7 to produce a more wide-angle view. It...
