To combat market trends in its segment Canon has introduced HR10 HD camcorder that claims to offer superior autofocus performance.
This HR10 camcorder offers nine-point autofocus feature and to provide advanced autofocus performance it’s Instant AF system uses a mixture of through-the-lens technology and an external sensor.
This compact device comes equipped with a not-so-good 3.1 MP CMOS sensor with an optically stabilized 10X zoom lens. The best feature in the device is its ability to record AVCHD(Advanced Video Codec High Definition) video to 3-inch DVDs, but for stills you will have to rely on the MiniSD card.
It also provides 135-degree viewing angle and uses Canon’s DIGIC DV II HD image processor to advance color reproduction and noise reduction.
The device also touts built-in flash, a video light, 2.7-inch LCD and can also be easily connected directly to the latest High Definition TVs by using a single cable on all-digital HDMI interface to playback HD video on HDTVs.
Canon’s HR10 HD camcorder will strike the market in August 2007; still I don’t see many buyers opting for this camcorder as it bears a pretty heavy price tag of $1,199.
