Canon VIXIA iVIS HF S11 Night Scene mode test

[AllstarKing713]

DOES IT HAVE NIGHT VISION

[Badboykilla96]

im thinkin about buyin this camera very soon! but my question is! what is it about this camera that you dont like?? there has to be sumthin!

[Transter2001]

@Badboykilla96 the focus dial is a pain in the arse, and given the choice I would now get a Panasonic TM750 - but other than that it's great. If you can get it for a good price go for it.

[Kiljan137]

it looks amazing on youtube, how does is look on a bigger screen?

[Transter2001]

@Kiljan137

It looks pretty good. No Complaints.

[DavePrez07]

I gotta have it !!

[laazteka]

How can i setting to Night Scene dude??

I've a Canon iVIS HF S11... thx for help and nice quality...

[rayman4449]

@laazteka I'm sure you've already figured it out by now but turn on, hit the function button then from the "P" at the top move over to the far right of the persons head and press select, then scroll to the sixth item on the right and press select.

[RyderStudios]

if you are doing nothing to improve the quality other than just using 24p, 30p, and 60i, I gotta say that this is the best video cam I have ever seen.. Im gonna buy one..

[Transter2001]

@RyderStudios thanks for the comment. In a screening of a short film I made people couldn't tell the difference between footage taken with the Canon and a $5000 Sony professional DV cam, so I'm pretty satisfied.

[Bk94541]

I think 24p was the best picture with that camera in this VID!

[alexmcginness]

Ive got a HV 20 and the vixia kills it for quality of video.

[ngvgnDOTcom]

Nice video 5 stars

[kingleo42042h]

what is the difference between the legria hfs11 and the vixia hfs11?

[patrat236]

@kingleo42042h

the legria is the version that's sold in europe....the vixia is the version sold in the us...same camera...no difference

[123esmann123]

@kingleo42042h Vixia is NTSC based, Legria is PAL

[rocksolid76]

@kingleo42042h The Legiria is for the United Kingdom and a PAL version type, while the Vixia is for the USA and cultured around the NTSC format.

[nafunkdegroove]

thank you for this video

[Perfectgammer]

Awesome quality!

[cocoalovely]

This video alone convinced me, I am going to buy this for Xmas

[Transter2001]

Nice. Have a good Christmas!

[Mr18settembre]

@cocoalovely  me too...

[Guffe101]

Hi, great videos. I have just bought a HF S11 and is quite new to there more advanced camcorders.

You talk about 24p, 30p and 60i, what exactly means this? I can't find any settings on the camcorder nor in the manual mension these settings.

[danceofthedruids]

Thanks for a great night shot demo! This is definitley my next cam...

[ccburgett]

nice

[mwells123]

where's the HD option on youtube? it only has HQ

[Transter2001]

I didn't upload this in HD - please see my other vids for HD tests :-)

[Transter2001]

3 years is a long time in digital equipment. Go treat yourself! Sony stuff I've had keeps breaking on me, last thing was a $100 earphones which lasted 4 months, but, like I said the stabilisation on the HDR-XR520V is better than the iVIS..

If you had a problem with Sony AVCHD encoding you might have them again with the Canon....

[Graphicspittz187]

I want this camera so bad, I hate my Sony HDR SR1 30G its a shitty camcorder

[Transter2001]

What's so bad about it?

[Graphicspittz187]

Well first of all i paid $1,500 for it, I cant edit the videos at all, Its heavy, The hd ant that good, I been using it for 3 years its trash...I hate sony and love canon

[Jamiecoop123]

lol you think yours is bad? I have a Sony DRC-DVD405 :P

[quyture]

Same here. I can't wait to get my canon hf10. sony is decent but compared to the canon, it is pretty below average.

[NordicRick]

Transter2001,should I get this camera?

[Transter2001]

Simple answer - yes. But if you are doing a lot of filming on the move,maybe think about the Sony HDR-XR520V.

[Transter2001]

Right now, neither. The S11 is good, but the Everio GZ HM400 is topping the polls in Japan beating out the S11, and it's cheaper. If you definitely want to go Canon - then I think it boils down to how much you want to spend...

[Haik000]

so wats the diffrence between the s11 and s10?

[mahamza86]

-S11 has 64GB and S10 has 32GB(both can be extended via SD cards)

-S11 has the new 3 way image stabilization and S10 has the old one.( the new is suppose to work perfectly while walking)

That's all, I believe

[Haik000]

Oh ok awesome! Thanks a lot for the info. I think that 3 way image stabilization thing should come really handy!

[mahamza86]

Well it should be, but i have seen some reviews that say, the image stabilization is not as good as promised.

Same OIS is implimented by Sony( First camcorder ever with 3 way stabilization) in the XR520 and CX520, but they are getting a much better feedback both by user and reviewer. and sony performs best in low light in this class of camcorders.

the things sony lack is 24p and full manual controls over aperture and shutter. ( althought it has 6 blade aperture vs. 2 blade aperture of canon)

[fswmacguy]

You need to render and upload at a higher resolution.

[Transter2001]

Yup - just getting the hang of this. It's all new for me.

[tjeerdomaat]

And in 16:9, how is this not in 16:9 when u film with a 16:9 camera.. amazing?! Looks like u filmed in a lower bitstream which films in a 14:9 resolution and than made a mistake with encoding.

[Transter2001]

It is, though probably the most unJapanese Japanese town

[korgpadude]

nice , this is japan rite?
