The video camera market experienced 86% growth in HD Flash models<sup>1 <\/sup>this year alone. Canon is proud to have been at the forefront of introducing the benefits of flash technology to consumers. These include faster recording and playback time, superior reliability, lower power consumption and more compact and portable camera bodies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that video camera users are looking for image quality and ease of use above all else. To improve video quality, we are proud to announce the introduction of the HD CMOS PRO in the consumer range. There\u2019s also a host of innovative features that make capturing, creating and sharing quality videos easy,\u201d said Anna Kalinowska, Brand Manager \u2013 Digital Video, Canon Australia.<\/p>\n<p>The new compact HD line-up includes Canon\u2019s HF R-series (HF R26 and HF R28), HF M40, and the <strong>new HF G10<\/strong>. The stand-out feature across the <strong>HF M40 and HF G10<\/strong> is the Full HD CMOS PRO Sensor \u2013 delivering amazing video resolution in Full HD 1920 x 1080, better performance in low-light situations, and improved dynamic range for details in shadows and highlights. These models also capture superior audio with the high-quality, low-noise built-in zoom microphone. Creative shooting capabilities are enhanced by the new \u201cStory Creator\u201d and \u201cCinema Look\u201d filters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible advancement for us to be able to include HD CMOS PRO Sensor technology in the body of a video camera as small and convenient as this, as it\u2019s a feature previously reserved for the professional range only,\u201d continued Kalinowska. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>The HF R-series<\/strong> is a video camera the whole family can enjoy. Features include a Full HD CMOS for a crisp, colour-rich capture and a powerful 28 x Advanced Zoom, all packed into a palm-sized, stylish body that can be taken anywhere. Sporting a 3-inch Touch Screen, Intelligent Auto and Image Stabilisers, the camera is perfect for anyone looking for ease of use and quality video capture. Plus a new feature \u2013 Touch Decoration \u2013 allows users to have fun while creating their video with templates, animations and on-screen handwriting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Great quality, easily<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Canon\u2019s new range is designed to suit everyone. From those who want to simply \u2018point-and-shoot\u2019 to capture life\u2019s spontaneous moments in high quality, to those who enjoy experimenting with advanced functions to create and produce beautiful vision and interesting movies. Across the range, Canon\u2019s new HD LEGRIA video cameras include Intelligent Auto, Touch and Track, and Dynamic Image Stabiliser to capture great quality \u2013 easily. Plus, with features like the Video Snapshot you can quickly snap together the best grabs of your footage and share instantly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIntelligent Auto is perfect for those users who just want to let the camera do the work. Now recognising up to 38 different scenes, including backlit, people, macro, and sunset scenes, Intelligent Auto ensures you get the best results easily,\u201d said Kalinowska. \u201cAnd Touch and Track takes the worry out of capturing those action-packed scenes when you need to keep your moving subjects \u2013 such as people, pets, or cars \u2013 in focus and properly exposed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreating enjoyable movie clips to share with your friends and family is now so simple.\u00a0 Video Snapshot allows you to capture only the best grabs of your holiday or memorable occasion and create a movie without the hassle of editing. Plus, the bundled inclusion of an HDMI cable with the new HD LEGRIA models means you can instantly connect to an HD television, so sharing your video stories could not be easier. It really encapsulates the concept of simple and enjoyable shooting and sharing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of the new LEGRIA HD models retain Canon\u2019s proprietary HD Camera System, including a Genuine Canon HD Video Lens, HD CMOS Image Sensor and DiG!C DV III Image Processor. This system produces superior image quality with better colour and detail. Especially designed for video cameras, the proprietary DiG!C DV III processor improves battery life and speed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the new LEGRIA Full HD line-up, Canon has enhanced its Standard Definition (SD) models: the FS series (FS46 and FS406) Flash Memory video cameras. Both are compact and light-weight (220g), and include a powerful 41x Advanced Zoom and Auto lens cover.
