Canon Vixia HF S21 Review

infoSync World reviews the Canon Vixia HF S21 high-definition camcorder. For the full review, visit http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/camcorders/canon-vixia-hf-s21/10902.html

It's a big, brash bully with an intimidating 52mm filter diameter and stealth black chassis. Yes, the Canon Vixia HF S21 is here, and it sits at the top of Canon's HD totem pole for 2010. With the ability to record 1920x1080 HD video at 24Mbps in four different frame rates, the Vixia HF S21 is a tough machine to beat. The monster also roars with a 3.5-inch touch-screen LCD that functioned excellently, and a host of semi-pro features like dual SDHC card slots, Zebra patterns, peaking, and Gain control. We liked using the Control dial, which could be assigned to three different Manual controls, but wish Canon had added a lens ring instead. AVCHD, though in its honeymoon stage, is still a relatively new format, so if you're looking for a simple drag-and-drop video file solution, the HF S21 will not help you unless you have a firm knowledge of NLEs.

amazing review

Image quality is very similar on all the HD cameras. If you are a pixel peeper you'll see some differences and loose sleep. Don't skimp out and get a $300 mid level camera, you'll hate it.

And if you don't have a fast computer with tons of memory and HD space, forget all this HD camera stuff and stick to 8mm tape or DVD camcorders. The HD files are HUGE and frustrating to manage. ( shoot 4-5 hours of family video a week)

I've had the Canon HF G10 and the M41 in my home to play with. Both have the same HD CMOS PRO sensor. I was disappointed. The Sony 560/700 was better in low light. I don't care what the reviews say, in my home tests the high end Sony was better. I love the Sony 560/700 image stabilization, It's buttery smooth. Buy 3 of the cameras you are considering from Crutchfield, evaluate them for 60 days, then send 2 of them back. A camera in your hands at home is the best evaluation.

All new HD camcorders do well in normal lighting, what sets them apart is their ability in extreme conditions, low light. The Canon products are bulky and annoying to carry around. Sony 560/700 shoot the best video, sound. Panasonic- most user friendly. In the end, its what you like to carry at the kids functions, birthday parties and Christmas. If you want a camera for tripod use for the family, get the Sony 700, its the best. For an all around carry about camera, get the Panasonic TM90

@barbershop22 and theyre mostly similiar quality?

[barbershop22]

@Danz2003 Choose whatever camera company you prefer. All of them make great cameras. I've "borrowed" cameras from Amazon and Crutchfield and settled on the TM90. It has a 28mm wide lens, small in size, shoots real 60p, quick performance, great battery life and it sells for $350. My Sony CX700 is going back to Amazon, its frustrating camera I love to hate. The Panasonic TM900 is not an option, has a cooling fan that makes noise, its 35mm wide lens is way too narrow for inside use.
