'It's beautifully done overall, and Canon gets a tip of the hat for this new design, although nothing beats the accuracy of the joystick (it may not be as cool, but it works!). '
'Generally well-designed interface'
'The HF S21 also includes an electronic viewfinder, and it is Canon's only new camcorder to include such feature. '
'The Canon VIXIA HF M300 HD Flash Memory Camcorder records directly to an SD memory card slot and is ultra-sleek, compact and lightweight - it's a brilliant blend of capability and convenience.'
'sharpest focus possible'
'The Panasonic camcorder also features a massive 120 GB internal hard drive and has two SD/SDHC memory card slots if you need memory expansion. '
'Cons: Short battery life, unable to recognize edited projects using its own video. '
'solid video quality'
'A Genuine Canon 20x HD Video Lens and Dynamic IS works in combination with our sophisticated Canon HD image processing to deliver the sharp, vivid, lifelike video you want to see on your HDTV. '
'Bright light video recording produces crisp and detailed videos but may also exhibit some noise and grain in the images.'
