Review: Canon Vixia HF11 AVCHD camcorder

This inexpensive consumer camcorder makes surprisingly good HD images.

The $1199 Vixia HF11 ($850 street price) is a one-chip CMOS consumer HD camcorder recording 1080-line AVCHD to flash memory, either its own internal 32 GB buffer or an SD / SDHC memory card. It lacks a viewfinder; it offers no manual control other than a fiddly little joystick and a short-throw zoom rocker; it has limited image tweaks, yet its CMOS sensor and “DIGIC” image processor yield remarkably good images, and its high-bitrate AVCHD codec records those images as faithfully and transparently as do codecs on much more expensive, professional camcorders. Yes, it’s a great little vacation cam, and if you’re willing to work within its limitations, it can also serve professionally.
