battery sucks
So i can record 6 hours of hd with the built in 64 gigs. But wait..........the battery only last 93 minutes. That sucks and I would have bought the cheaper version. 93 minutes means I cant record 6 hours unless I buy more batteries which is stupid.

Not a professional, just eager memory keeper
I did months of research before deciding on the S11, and my biggest priorities were superb picture quality then durability. Because flash camcorders don't have moving parts like a hard drive, flash memory is less prone to damage, uses less power, and reads/writes faster. This is very expensive, but it will last for many, many years while vividly capturing my most important memories with family. HD is the way to go.
The picture quality is great, and you can easily find HD examples on YouTube to preview if you're curious to see how this measures up. Video capture at night isn't as bad as what I had read. I can easily make out images in my night time shots albeit some detail was lost (as expected with any consumer camcorder). An added bonus is that I can snap photos while in video mode, so I don't have to pack my point-n-shoot camera too. This has a built-in 8MP camera.
If you need more than the 64GB of internal memory, you can expand by purchasing an external SDHC card. Canon says to use a minimum Class 4 SDHC card for video, but a lot of people who own flash camcorders seem to have better results with Class 6 cards (faster write speeds mean you won't miss as many frames during recording). Keep in mind that 64gb can capture a minimum of 5 hours 55 minutes in MXP mode and up to 24 hrs 30 minutes in LP mode.
There is NO electronic viewfinder which can be a problem since the screen is hard to see when you're in super dark or super bright settings.
Unfortunately, your investment won't end with the camera.
You will have EXTRA stuff to buy:
* Extra battery - the one that comes included lasts 1.5 hours at best; I recommend Canon BP-827 * Lithium Ion Battery Pack for Vixia HG 20/21, HF11/10 & 100 Camcorders
* Battery charger - otherwise you can only charge the battery while it's in the camcorder so you have to stop filming while charging
* HDMI cable
* Canon Remote Control Adapter RA-V1 for Vixia HF S11 Camcorders to access the camera's functions if you heavily use a tripod
* Video editing software - Adobe Premiere seems to be pretty popular for AVCHD video.
I travel often, so it's not always practical for me to carry a lot of SDHC cards, and I wanted something that would be more user friendly for my folks to use. It's crazy that Canon charges so much more for 32GB extra memory over the S10, so if budget is an issue, look into the HF S10 (32GB internal memory) or HF S100 (no internal memory).
The S11 is very similar to the HF S10 and HF S100 models. The only differences I can tell:
- 64gb internal memory (main reason this model costs more)
- Dynamic SuperRange OIS (which is supposed to make for better video while walking and at wide angles)
- Compatible with Canon's RA-V1 remote adapter that you plug into the accessory shoe to provide a LANC (wired remote) terminal
- Extra mode for low light scene

Remarkable Camera and Camcorder
I have never owned a Canon Camcorder before. However, being a professional photographer, I am quite familiar and happy with Canon products. I have always bought Sony handy-cams in the past. I bought this camcorder with the desire to shoot in HD and also because it had dual flash drive options (internal 64 GB and by card). I picked it up at a store (Samy's Camera) and having called ahead they charged the battery ahead of time per my request (but still, nice customer service). My plan was to use it right away. Anyone familiar with Camcorders or cameras can operate this unit with ease. For the more advanced individual there are endless options available - and from my perspective - easily navigable. Taking photos is a snap, and recording video is just as easy. The stabilization and zoom in and out is first rate and very smooth. It has a built in pop-up light which also functions as a flash for photos. The dual microphones offer a nice level of surround sound. The mics pick up even the slightest details (my son kicking a soccer ball 50 feet away during his game). It is slighter larger than I imagined having seen some very small camcorders - but easily disregarded when you consider what you are getting in this pro-sumer camcorder (but it does fit in your hand). Instead of the "rinky-dink" lens you get on some camera's - this has a nice size lens allowing in all the light you need. It seemed to work well in low-light situations and does an amazing job in a macro situation. Granted, I have only used the thing for 4 days - but I am more than happy with my purchase. One thing you will want to pick up if you like to plug your camcorder directly into your HDTV is a mini-HDMI to standard HDMI cable or a converter if you already have a HDMI cable - it is one thing CANON left out of the box - that and a SDHC card. I also bought a larger battery for more flexibility.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
