The Canon VIXIA HF11 HD Camcorder comes packed with a 12x optical zoom, 2.7″ LCD, and 3.3 megapixel, Full HD CMOS censor. Recording at 24Mbps, the Canon VIXIA HF11 camcorder hits the limit of AVCHD recording bandwidth, which makes for finer, less grainy video.

Two options for recording give the Canon VIXIA HF11 the edge over many of its competitors in the camcorder arena. You can choose between recording to a 32GB internal flash drive or directly onto an SDHC card for ultimate portability.

The HF11 utilizes Canon’s popular Instant AF (autofocus) system to achieve fast and accurate focuses in a myriad of environments. Optical image stabalization is included, as well.

Perhaps most important to the intrepid videographer is the Canon VIXIA HF11’s external microphone jack and audio level controls. This allows the Canon HF11 to be a powerful piece of equipment, especially for the price range.
