it is not nearly as small as the canon vixia hf100 flash memory high definition camcorder with 12x optical image stabilized zoom, but its quality makes up for the bigger size.
after using a 1.07 mp for a bunch of years which i thought was ok, and now to do a side by side comparison canon vixia hfs100 hd flash memory camcorder with 10x optical zoom i will be going to the
canon vixia hfs100 is currently the top-of-the-line canon consumer camcorder.
if canon would make the focus assist dial have a greater range it would solve this problem quickly (firmware update - canon, are you listening?) second would be the lens size - although this is the
i currently owned 3 canon digital cameras and am very happy with every single one of them.
this is my first canon product but definetly not my last.
also, with canon mini-accessory shoe, you can attach a dm-100 "shotgun" mic to is which is superb (it also has a furry wind filter which works excellent outdoors).
what's great about it:?i use canon for my seeourtour.com business ,which is for the higher end stores.
this is a great canon camcorder for a very good price.
canon have led the way with image quality (in video) for the last two years and it really shows here.at the end of the day it comes down to what you like, what you feel comfortable with and what you
would love a semi-pro camera from canon under $2k though.
the bottom line: a few shortcomings, none of which affect final image and sound, can be mostly ignored as the canon hg21 provides a satisfying video in an easy-to-use package.

we do have the ability to use our small canon digital camera in this mode but this is a far cry from that.
if you have searched for a quality camcorder the canon vixia hf 11 is it.
