Canon VIXIA HF R100 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder 2010
Buyers Guide and Review
The Canon VIXIA HF R100 is one of the latest HD Camcorders released by Canon in 2010. It has no moving mechanical parts other than the lens zoom mechanism, as it records directly to high capacity SD/HC memory cards, therefore allowing the battery to last longer between charges, and allows the HF R100 camcorder to be ultra-sleek, compact at 2.4 x 2.5 x 4.9 inches and lightweight at just 9.5 ounces for easy portability.
Having no moving parts also lets the Canon VIXIA HF R100 start recording video faster and allows quicker access to your recordings. Recording to only a memory card allows the camcorder to be more shock resistant and minimizes the chances of data loss if dropped accidentally.
The camcorder lens is a Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Lens, delivering top level image quality to a Canon 2.39-Megapixel HD CMOS Image Sensor capturing video at 1920 x 1080 resolution. A Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor provides the ultimate in color and imaging performance.
The HF R100 has an innovative instant auto-focus system, delivering lightening fast auto focus and accuracy even in low light situations. Also, FOCUS ASSIST provides 2x magnification usually only found on professional camcorders which gives razor-sharp focus which cancels out when recording is started.
A Dynamic image stability system gives constant fine adjustment, much superior to conventional electronic image stabilization, while Smart Auto identifies faces, brightness, color, distance, and movement, then automatically selects the best settings for the scene by using Canon’s DIGIC DV III Image Processor.
Canon digital cameras use high quality Face Detection technology and now the same is used in Canon HD Camcorders. 9 detection frames can be displayed automatically at one time from up to 35 faces , ensuring razor-sharp focus and natural, accurate exposure. Face Index will display those frames with the chosen face as a thumbnail, even faces turned downwards or sideways.
The VIXIA HF R100′s Dual Shot has a built-in Digital Camera, making it easier than ever to capture both video and photos, and Auto Intelligent Auto Focus gives sharp images creative flexibility even when your subject isn’t in the center of the frame.
For optimal exposure, the VIXIA HF R100 offers selectable metering patterns. You can choose the options of Evaluative, Center-Weighted Average, and Spot.
A built-in flash lets you capture superb photos indoors and in low light conditions.
Normally only professional video cameras have sophisticated tools like 30p Progressive Mode, and yet the Canon VIXIA HF R100 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder can record in 24p Cinema Mode recorded at 60i, and CINE mode
For a feel of a movie shown in a theater, and these can be used together or independently. Select 30 progressive frames, recorded to 60i for footage to be used on the Internet, action and sports shots.
The VIXIA HF R100 is compatible with the Eye-Fi SD Memory Card, for wirelessly transfering photos to your computer, or upload them directly to online sharing sites in a few simple steps by inserting an Eye-Fi SD Memory Card into the SD card slot on the camcorder, configure your computer and you’re ready to share your photos with family, friends, and the world!

Being retired now gives me time to enjoy my passion for video cameras and in particular high definition camcorders.
The year 2010 is Digital HD Camcorder Year, with every major manufacturer bringing out new, low cost HD camcorders with an enormous amount of new technology which lots of folk do not understand, so I have decided to write lots of articles like this one to explain the choices between features, brands and formats.
