Canon's VIXIA HF S20 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder features 1920 x 1080 HD recording, 3 storage options, and a myriad of useful features and functions. The HF S20 camcorder features Native 24p, 24p Cinema mode, and 30p Progressive mode for high quality digital capture. In addition to recording video, the camera also captures 8MP digital stills. Video and stills can be stored to the 32GB internal flash memory or to SD/SDHC memory cards (including Eye-Fi SD memory cards) thanks to the dual card slots.
The heart of the HF S20 is its 8.59MP CMOS sensor. Along with the DIGIC DV III Image Processor this sensor captures brilliant footage. Of course these two have help from the camera's HD Video Lens, 10x optical zoom, and Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization. And, let's not forget about the generous 3.5" High Resolution Touch Panel LCD screen. This screen gives you a large surface on which to compose and playback video and still images, and it also features Canon's Touch & Track which allows for pinpoint selection of focus and exposure on the subjects of your choosing.
The many user-friendly features of the HF S20 take the guesswork out of getting your shot on the first try. Choices like Face Detection, Instant AF, Smart Auto, and Professional Shooting Assist Functions are just a few. Other noteworthy attributes of the camcorder include microphone and headphone jacks, a built-in video light and a built-in flash, and a Mini Advanced Accessory Shoe. When you're ready to upload and edit what you've shot the HF S20 includes Canon's Pixela ImageMixer 3SE Video Editing Software.
