The new VIXIA HF10〔A〕( HF10〔E〕,iVIS HF10〔J〕)is Canon’s first compact, lightweight HD video camcorder to feature Dual Flash Memory, incorporating both a 16GB internal flash drive and an SD/SDHC card slot to enable recording of video even without a memory card.^*1 Users who do own a card can take full advantage of the dual format by combining the two media to record up to 12 hours of video.^*2 The VIXIA　HF100〔A〕( HF100〔E〕,iVIS HF100〔J〕) uses the convenient SD/SDHC memory format. Both the VIXIA HF10 and HF VIXIA 100 incorporate the Canon Full HD CMOS sensor and a 12x optical zoom Canon Video Lens that features high resolving power along with optical Image Stabilization. In addition, Canon’s proprietary high-performance DIGIC DV II image processor realizes 1920 x 1080-pixel full high-definition from video capture to recording, making possible the high-quality, faithful color reproduction that users expect from HD video. Furthermore, the VIXIA HF10 and HF VIXIA 100 come equipped with a broad range of functions supporting high-quality HD video capture, including Canon’s Instant AF (autofocus) system for fast, accurate, and sharp focusing. Users can also enhance their videos by changing the shooting mode to 24p Cinema Effect Mode, which creates a professional “film look” by combining progressive shooting with the same rate used in movie film, or the 30p Progressive Mode.^*3 The VIXIA　HF10 and VIXIA HF100 also allow users to backup stored video directly to 12 cm DVD discs using the Canon DVD Writer DW-100 to be released in March 2008.
