The entry-level Canon iVIS HF R21 offers excellent basic features and delivers high-quality 1,920 x 1,080 pixel Full HD shooting through the incorporation of such technologies as a Canon Full HD CMOS sensor, DIGIC DV III Image Processor, and Canon HD Video Lens with 20x optical zoom. The camcorder’s 3.0-inch Touch Panel LCD enables users to take advantage of such features as Touch Focus and Touch Decoration, while the Smart Auto mode automatically applies optimal settings based on a classification of 38 shooting scenes. The HF R21 also includes an HD-to-SD Downconversion function allowing users to convert recorded high-definition video to standard-definition files. Weighing only about 270 grams, the compact iVIS HF R21 is available in three body color variations: silver, red and black.
