The iVIS HG10 is the first Canon video camcorder to feature a built-in hard disk drive which, with a 40GB capacity, makes possible the recording of up to 15 hours of high-resolution HD images when shooting in LP mode (approx. 5 Mbps). The model combines a newly developed AVCHD codec with H.264 High Profile, supporting outstanding image quality while enabling a high compression rate to record sharp, highly detailed High Definition images. Additionally, the HG10 employs the Separate Heat-Way System in the body design, which effectively diffuses the heat generated by the system’s LSI to realize a compact body size.
The camcorder is equipped with Canon’s proprietary full HD CMOS sensor supporting the high-speed data reading of images in full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) and the capture of approximately 3.1-megapixel still images. The Canon sensor also realizes exceptional imaging performance even in dim lighting for impressive high-quality video with minimal noise in light conditions down to 3 lux*.
The iVIS HG10, featuring a 10x optical zoom Canon HD Video Lens that combines high resolving power with optical image stabilization, delivers exceptional imaging capabilities not only when shooting video, but also when capturing still images. Additionally, Canon’s high-performance DIGIC DV II image processor ensures richly detailed images and high-precision color reproduction befitting HD images.
