For capturing all of life's moments, consumers can easily record and
share up to 15 hours of High Definition (HD) footage with the newest
member of the Canon family of HD camcorders - the Canon HG10 AVCHD Hard Disk Drive Camcorder.
As
seen in previous Canon HD camcorders, the feature-rich HG10 AVCHD Hard
Disk Drive Camcorder features a Genuine Canon 10x HD Video lens, Canon
Full HD CMOS image sensor, Canon's proprietary DIGIC DV II Image
Processor, SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization and Instant AF.
Whether on vacation, enjoying a relaxing day in the backyard or on the
go, Canon's line of HD Camcorders offers more functionality and
flexibility, resulting in beautifully shot footage and lasting memories.
"The
HG10 HD Camcorder is ideal for preserving life's most important
moments," said Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general
manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. "Whether it is recording
the 30 seconds of a grandchild's first at-bat or nonstop recording time
at a wedding from the ceremony through the reception, hard disk drive
camcorders are beginning to dominate the High Definition market, and
with good reason."
Superior image quality is the de facto
standard with Canon products, and the HG10 HD Camcorder is no
exception. Jam-packed into its deceptively small body is a range of
Canon exclusive features to help make home movies mimic big-budget
productions. Canon's 70 years of expertise in optics contribute to a
10x HD Video lens that features SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization
to help correct camera shake during hand-held filming or when the
camera is in motion. The Canon Full HD CMOS Sensor captures images at
1920x1080 resolution and Canon's revolutionary Instant AF system offers
a dramatic improvement in autofocus speed and accuracy (compared to
traditional autofocus systems). Additionally, the camcorder features
24p Cinema Mode, allowing consumers to achieve the look and feel of
film.
The HG10 HD Camcorder helps make sure no moment is missed
with the ability to capture 3.1 megapixel photos to a miniSD card. And
with the Photo Grab function, users can grab 2.0 megapixel (1920x1080)
stills directly from the HD video footage during playback. In addition,
the HG10 HD Camcorder's Quick Start function wakes the camera from
standby mode nearly instantly and is ready to record at a moment's
notice.
Ease of use is another hallmark of the Canon design. The HG10 HD
Camcorder features a new Navigation Control Dial on the LCD panel,
enabling users to access the menu easier for improved operability and
enhanced ability to search for scenes.
Sharing video from nearly
any angle is now easier than ever with a bright 2.7" Widescreen
Multi-Angle Vivid LCD. What's more, consumers can enjoy easy one cable
connection to High Definition Televisions, thanks to a built in HDMI
terminal.
The HG10 HD Camcorder is bundled with a powerful
software suite from Corel (compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista
only). Corel Software includes AVCHD Editing in which users can trim,
reorder and combine scenes, as well as add music titles and
transitions, allowing the user to burn edited video onto either a full
size AVCHD DVD or Standard Definition DVD. What's more, the HG10 HD
Camcorder comes equipped with a Backup Utility Disc, enabling users to
safely backup recorded video onto a computer's hard drive.
Price and Availability
Available in October, the Canon HG10 HD Camcorder will have an estimated selling price of $1299
(est ~RM4,500)
