The Canon HG10 High Definition Camcorder is the first Canon camcorder to record on a hard disk drive. The Camcorder Info people reviewed all the features starting with the glass lens with the 10x optical zoom. Next, the grip is comfortable when you actually hold it in your hands, and it features zoom control which is “pro grade”. They don’t think much of the AVCHD code because it gives off a noticeable blur when in motion. Even though a lot of the features have some flaws to correct, they still call it the best HDD camcorder available.

Canon released the new IXUS 850 IS 7.1MP camera with a 3.8x optical zoom lens and 2.5 inch LCD screen for viewing of pictures. The camera is designed with some sort of clear lacquer finishes which resists scratches which makes the camera look new for a longer time. Measuring 89.5mm x 58.0mm x 25.1mm, this camera is equipped with large controls which are easy to function and visibly labeled. The company also has included optical image stabilization to assist in lesser illumination situations or at longer focal lengths when the user doesn’t want the flash to fire. No word on pricing and availability yet. So, stay tuned for more updates.
