| 00:00:08 |
00:00:11 |
This is one of the new Canon VIXIAs
that's out there on the market. |
| 00:00:11 |
00:00:17 |
It's the Canon VIXIA HF S100,
you may be a little confused, |
| 00:00:17 |
00:00:19 |
Canon has released
a number of cameras, |
| 00:00:19 |
00:00:22 |
some of them very very similar.
This one very very similar |
| 00:00:22 |
00:00:26 |
to the Canon VIXIA HF S10,
the one major difference |
| 00:00:26 |
00:00:30 |
being that the S10 has built-in
32 gigs of flash memory, |
| 00:00:31 |
00:00:35 |
the S100 has no built-in memory,
so if, so you can basically use |
| 00:00:35 |
00:00:39 |
any SDHC cards you want to
up to any capacity you like |
| 00:00:39 |
00:00:41 |
so you don't have to worry about it.
So you just have to make the decision, |
| 00:00:41 |
00:00:43 |
if you feel like you need
the built-in memory or if you don't, |
| 00:00:44 |
00:00:45 |
if you don't feel like you need
the built-in memory |
| 00:00:45 |
00:00:49 |
the Canon VIXIA HF S100
is for you. |
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:55 |
It uses an HD CMOS sensor
and a big gigantic lens |
| 00:00:55 |
00:00:58 |
as you can see right there
and bigger is always better, |
| 00:00:59 |
00:01:03 |
we all know that and lenses,
that can especially be true. |
| 00:01:03 |
00:01:07 |
This is going to take some
extraordinary video for you, |
| 00:01:07 |
00:01:11 |
it's going to look really really nice,
beautiful color |
| 00:01:11 |
00:01:14 |
and it's nice wide lens as well,
you're going to find |
| 00:01:15 |
00:01:17 |
a 10x optical zoom
built into this thing, |
| 00:01:18 |
00:01:25 |
200x digital zoom on board as well.
Does 1920 by 1080 high-def video |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:29 |
and will even capture
8 megapixel still shots. |
| 00:01:29 |
00:01:33 |
So we're talking about a camera
that can very well replace |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:37 |
your point and shoot digital camera
and it's also going to make |
| 00:01:38 |
00:01:42 |
for a really high quality,
high-def video camera as well. |
| 00:01:42 |
00:01:45 |
It's got this really nice
2.7 inch LCD over here |
| 00:01:46 |
00:01:49 |
making it very very easy to navigate
all of the various menus |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:53 |
that you find on board.
Very nice interface as well |
| 00:01:53 |
00:01:58 |
making it very very easy to make
adjustments to things on the fly. |
| 00:01:58 |
00:02:02 |
It's also, there's also
lots of custom settings |
| 00:02:02 |
00:02:04 |
that you're going to find in here
especially for white balance, |
| 00:02:05 |
00:02:09 |
digital effects, your bit rate
up to 24 megabits per second |
| 00:02:09 |
00:02:12 |
the bit rate on this particular camera.
It's going to make sure |
| 00:02:12 |
00:02:16 |
that your video looks
really really nice. |
| 00:02:16 |
00:02:20 |
Of course you can go as low
as 5 megabits per second |
| 00:02:21 |
00:02:24 |
which is going to allow you
to record a lot of video |
| 00:02:25 |
00:02:28 |
in a small amount of space, of course
you are sacrificing video quality |
| 00:02:28 |
00:02:30 |
when you go
to bit rates that low. |
| 00:02:31 |
00:02:36 |
This is where you set your
simultaneous recording resolution, |
| 00:02:36 |
00:02:38 |
when you're taking video
with this camera |
| 00:02:39 |
00:02:42 |
you can actually snap stills
at the exact same time |
| 00:02:43 |
00:02:47 |
which is a very cool feature and
the more advanced settings on board |
| 00:02:48 |
00:02:51 |
can be found right here including
the setting of the frame rate, |
| 00:02:51 |
00:02:54 |
x.v. color is actually
extra color information |
| 00:02:55 |
00:02:57 |
that is encoded and
sent down the HDMI cable |
| 00:02:57 |
00:03:04 |
allowing your high-def TV to show
very very realistic color reproduction. |
| 00:03:04 |
00:03:07 |
All of your other settings
are all located right in here. |
| 00:03:07 |
00:03:12 |
Everything is very easy to set up,
everything is very easy to configure |
| 00:03:12 |
00:03:17 |
with the interface that they have
designed for this particular camera. |
| 00:03:17 |
00:03:21 |
Now it also has optical
image stabilization on board |
| 00:03:22 |
00:03:26 |
which for people with shaky hands
is going to be an absolute godsend. |
| 00:03:26 |
00:03:29 |
It does instant auto focus which means
it's going to snap to focus |
| 00:03:29 |
00:03:33 |
using a very different system
than most cameras do. |
| 00:03:33 |
00:03:36 |
When you pick this up you'll notice
that you never see this camera |
| 00:03:36 |
00:03:39 |
hunting for its focus point,
it's always just sort of dead on. |
| 00:03:40 |
00:03:44 |
It does 24p and 30p,
there is a cinema mode |
| 00:03:44 |
00:03:45 |
which is going to give
all of your video |
| 00:03:45 |
00:03:49 |
a very film-like quality.
It's going to enhance the color |
| 00:03:50 |
00:03:53 |
and it's going to have sort of
that lower frame rate |
| 00:03:53 |
00:03:59 |
that you're used to seeing in film
and overall this thing is awesome. |
| 00:03:59 |
00:04:00 |
This is the
type of camera |
| 00:04:00 |
00:04:04 |
that even makes professional
videographers jealous. |
| 00:04:04 |
00:04:07 |
This is a perfect camera
if you are a pro as a back-up. |
| 00:04:07 |
00:04:11 |
It's a perfect camera
if you are just a regular Joe, |
| 00:04:12 |
00:04:14 |
that just wants to have some
really really great video footage, |
| 00:04:15 |
00:04:17 |
this is going to be
really really good for you. |
| 00:04:17 |
00:04:19 |
Just a really quick tour
around the camera |
| 00:04:19 |
00:04:22 |
so you can see how this works.
It does a navigational joystick |
| 00:04:22 |
00:04:25 |
right here which is pretty much
the only thing you need |
| 00:04:25 |
00:04:27 |
to get around the interface
on this camera. |
| 00:04:27 |
00:04:31 |
You have some transport controls
located below the screen there as well. |
| 00:04:32 |
00:04:35 |
Over here underneath the screen
you're going to find |
| 00:04:35 |
00:04:36 |
your video snap button
which allows you to take |
| 00:04:37 |
00:04:39 |
4 second quick video clips.
This allows you to adjust |
| 00:04:39 |
00:04:42 |
what information is actually
on your display. |
| 00:04:43 |
00:04:45 |
Down here is where
you're going to put that SD card |
| 00:04:45 |
00:04:47 |
which is completely required
with this camera. |
| 00:04:47 |
00:04:51 |
You are not going to get very far
without adding an SD card |
| 00:04:51 |
00:04:53 |
to this particular camera so
you might want to go ahead |
| 00:04:54 |
00:04:57 |
and pick one of those up while you
are shopping for your video camera. |
| 00:04:58 |
00:05:01 |
Up on the front you find
this fine adjustment wheel |
| 00:05:02 |
00:05:05 |
which is used to adjust focus
when you're in manual focus mode, |
| 00:05:05 |
00:05:08 |
you can also use this for gain control
and you can use this |
| 00:05:08 |
00:05:11 |
to adjust the volume
of the microphone as well, |
| 00:05:11 |
00:05:14 |
the microphone of course being located
on either side of this camera. |
| 00:05:14 |
00:05:19 |
It does record in stereo.
Camera also has a built-in light |
| 00:05:19 |
00:05:21 |
and flash. Push this button,
boom, pops up |
| 00:05:21 |
00:05:25 |
and you're able to quickly get to,
you quickly light up your scene. |
| 00:05:25 |
00:05:27 |
You can see that's very very bright,
very bright for a little LED camera |
| 00:05:28 |
00:05:31 |
and it's got a nice flash on board
that's fully adjustable as well. |
| 00:05:31 |
00:05:34 |
On the top
you're going to find a place |
| 00:05:34 |
00:05:36 |
for your accessory shoe,
this of course where you can put |
| 00:05:37 |
00:05:40 |
a directional microphone
or a out-board light. |
| 00:05:41 |
00:05:43 |
Down below that you're going
to find your zoom rocker, |
| 00:05:43 |
00:05:46 |
your photo shutter button,
power and right behind here |
| 00:05:47 |
00:05:50 |
is your mode selector
where you can select between still, |
| 00:05:50 |
00:05:52 |
video or the dual mode
that we were showing you |
| 00:05:52 |
00:05:55 |
which allows you
to grab stills and video |
| 00:05:55 |
00:05:59 |
at the exact same time.
Over here on this side |
| 00:05:59 |
00:06:02 |
is where you're going to find
a secret hatch |
| 00:06:02 |
00:06:06 |
allowing you to output
to HDMI, component |
| 00:06:06 |
00:06:10 |
or hook the camera
up via a USB cable. |
| 00:06:10 |
00:06:13 |
Overall this is a highly
impressive video camera. |
| 00:06:13 |
00:06:16 |
It's going to make, of course,
you know what, I'll be honest |
| 00:06:16 |
00:06:17 |
if you're a crappy
photographer |
| 00:06:18 |
00:06:19 |
it's probably not going
to help you out that much |
| 00:06:19 |
00:06:24 |
but if you're decent at taking video
it's going to look really really good. |
| 00:06:24 |
00:06:26 |
One of the
highest quality sensors, |
| 00:06:26 |
00:06:30 |
one of the largest lenses on the
market, it's got that Canon glass, |
| 00:06:30 |
00:06:33 |
it's got the Canon DIGIC III
DV processor on board. |
| 00:06:33 |
00:06:38 |
It's just to be a really extraordinary,
really good-looking camera |
| 00:06:38 |
00:06:39 |
that you're going
to really really love. |
| 00:06:40 |
00:06:44 |
It's the Canon VIXIA HF S100,
it's out on the market now |
| 00:06:45 |
00:06:46 |
and you should probably
pick one up |
| 00:06:47 |
00:06:49 |
if you're into
good video quality. |
