With the Canon VIXIA HF R100 flash memory camcorder, you'll find that high-definition video has hit new levels of convenience, ease, performance, and value. The VIXIA HF R100 records to SD memory cards and features Canon's Smart Auto. A genuine Canon 20x HD video lens and Dynamic IS work in combination with the sophisticated Canon HD image processing to deliver the sharp, vivid, lifelike video you want to see on your HDTV.
The looking glass
One of the best features on this camera will likely go unnoticed by you for years. Why you ask? Well, because it's something that only shows up with time. The lens on this digital camcorder is glass. Why does that matter? Well, on most cameras in this price range, a plastic lens is used to lower the cost. For the most part, the plastic lenses work just fine, and while they might not be quite as great, there's usually not a significant difference between the camera with the glass lens and the plastic one. But that changes with time. After you've owned a camera with a plastic lens for a while, you'll begin to notice a slight yellowing of your footage. That's great if you're shooting a movie with a sepia effect, but for the soccer games, school programs, and birthday parties you want to capture, not so much. Plus, a plastic lens is easier to scratch. Considering the quality and value of this VIXIA, it's a pretty safe bet that you'll have it for a while. Invest in a camera that will last with the HF R100.
A wonderful contradiction
The VIXIA HF R100 can take video snapshots. If that sounds like a contradiction, you're right. Usually you either have a single snapshot or a video clip. But in this case, you'll love the contradictory combination of the two. Basically, you can take two-, four-, or six-second video clips, and add music for a great moving slideshow. This is the sort of effect that would have taken hours of video editing to build a slideshow with before. But now, it's super easy, and simply amazing to see your pictures come to life right before your eyes. But the contradictions continue. Let's say you're watching a video, and you see something that would make the perfect snapshot. With most camcorders, that means uploading the footage to your computer, finding the spot, and using the software to get a snapshot. But with the VIXIA HF R100, it's a lot simpler than that. As you're playing back your footage, simply press the snapshot button, and a frame will be saved to the camera. Aren't contradictions fun?
Welcome to the future
Just because you're not filming the next Avatar doesn't mean HD is a waste. After all, you watch wacky reality shows in HD, so why should your family videos be less important? When people watch your next home production, are they going to say "Wow!" or will they ask when it was filmed? The 90's are over, so ditch the grainy look. With the VIXIA HF R100, you can get video up to Full HD 1920 x 1080, the best video resolution that's commercially available. And when you do feel like taking on a more artistic video project, you can recreate the look of film with 24p and 30p video modes. Get with the times; go HD.
