Customer Rating:      Summary: A fun to use camcorder! Comment: If you have searched for a quality camcorder the Canon Vixia HF 11 is it. It features an easy one button solution for quick nearly automatic film making. It also gives you many options found on expensive production video equipment. A real asset is the 32 GB flash memory since this assures that you will have plenty of on board storage and no tape or hard drive to break. Simply take your time in turning it off and your data will be saved properly. Color is excellent and the stabilation works very well. The supplied software is another bonus if you do not have your own prefered program.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Best Personal Camcorder in its class !! Comment: Long review: 10 min.| I got the HF11 video camera in urgent need for a specific occasion.
The 60th fireworks event of Suwako lake / Nagano Prefecture in Japan on 15th August 2008.
(official sale start in Japan)
As the overall package Canon with its long term experience in Imaging seemed like "The natural Choice to make".
The video camera integrates a huge amount of intelligent functions that ensure the quality of your video experience.
- image stabilizer,
- light sensitivity sensor,
- profiles
- variable zoom speeds,
- remaining battery status info,
- alignment markers in the screen
On top of that the video cameras body weight with 380gr. and the size of your favourite beverage is well acceptable even for ladies or kids hands.
The HF11 does come with a few usability hitches in terms of inconsistency, bugs etc. (see my how to guide for details), but besides that, the HF11's navigation is intuitive and exactly as the digital camera products. So, that was not a showstopper for us.
Most users are able to use the product within minutes !!
For video editing features you might want to look into additional software editing and codec converter solutions like Divx, Xvid etc. to be able to share the joy with your friends on DVD etc. The package contains all possible cables but NOT the ultra compact HDMI cable connection.
The major salespoints of this video camera are
- Imaging quality (resolution and smoothness of video)
- Canons colours
- Usability
- Usability and
- Usability
The Imaging quality is unlike anything I have seen before and easily justifies the product alone.
HF11, HF10 or HF100, which one should I get ?
If you cant compromise video quality for anything get the HF11 with its 24mbps recording mode and be rest assured you have the extra stretch when you need it f.e. in low light scenarios and the best model on the marcet in the personal camcorder class.
Otherwise, if you can life with good quality and the same usability and other features as the big brother than you can make a deal by getting the HF10 or the HF100.
The intelligent functions and the exceptionally good design make the HF100, the HF10 or the HF11 the natural choice for beginners, amateurs and entry professionals.
This is the quality customers are expecting from a long term Imaging company like Canon !!
Additonal Note:
Note that other camcorders with moving parts f.e. HDD's might not be working in extreme situations with strong vibrations f.e in concerts due to bass vibration. The camcorder makers do specifically NOT recommend taking videos in live houses - as they formulate it. So you might find yourself having to record onto the memory card while the HDD is NOT usable.
(I mention it because its not so obvious from the product descriptions of camcorders.)
Fortunately with the HF11/HF10/HF100 or any flash memory based camcorder you dont have to worry about this too ;-)
Please see my How to guide for more details and all PRO's and CON's.
