Canon Vixia HF R21 Review

After a hectic last minute sales rush at the end on the year, and quickly followed by the show in Las Vegas when all the new camcorders for 2012 were announced, I just finished my reflection on how camcorder sales faired in the teeth of this recession, and the Canon Vixia HF R21 stood out in sales as well as features.

It’s good to see a camcorder such as the Canon Vixia HF R21 getting the recognition it truly deserves. This camcorder you may remember was a direct replacement to the popular Canon Vixia HF R100, and camcorder buffs and families alike have all bought this new model in their droves.

Canon Vixia HF R21 Features

Just to remind you of some of the many features of the Canon Vixia HF R21, it is packed with features such as the 32GB Internal Flash Memory with eye-fi flash memory, Full HD 1080p AVCHD 1920 x 1080 resolution at 24Mbps, CMOS sensor with tele macro and face detection, Pre-Record and Relay Recording and a touch panel LCD screen with a Level Marker feature.

It seems like we cannot get enough storage space on our camcorders, as the Canon Vixia HF R21 has 32GB of Internal Flash Memory as well as two SD Card Slots each capable of holding another 32GB each which is some serious memory capacity.

At the same time as introducing this Canon Vixia HF R21, the cheaper VIXIA HF R20 with an 8GB internal flash drive and the cheaper still VIXIA HF R200 with no internal memory but only Dual SD Card Slots were introduced, and yet the dearest model of the 3, the Vixia HF R21 is the clear favorite of the American public.

Canon Vixia HF R21 with Mic and Phones

The microphone terminal with manual audio level control and a headphone terminal providing exceptional audio adaptability could have played a part as well as the massive memory storage, and of course there are dozens of other features as standard in the Canon Vixia HF R21 which I know you would find hard to match in any other brand for the low price asked for this marvel.

Customer Canon Vixia HF R21 Review
Full 5 star rated. I read a lot of reviews and this unit was in the top 5 for 2011. The low light level is 0.3, far below other more expensive units. The picture quality is outstanding. By Hunterpauls on Amazon

Another Customer Canon Vixia HF R21 Review
Full 5 star rated.IT WAS AN EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT AND WAS PURCHASED FOR A DISNEY TRIP. IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AS THE VIDEOS CAPTURED ON THE TRIP WERE FANTASTIC AND EASE OF OPERATING AND COMPACT NATURE WAS EXTREMELY HELPFUL. By SUSAN RUSSELL (Reading, MA, US) on Amazon

So, if you are on the lookout for a camcorder that seems to have it all except for the high price ticket, check out my original review of the Canon Vixia HF R21 family camcorder and go for it now!

Sony has a few new models for 2012, many are very similar to each other except for the memory with some recording to cards only, others with embedded Flash memory and one with a hard drive.

The Sony HDR-CX190 and HDR-CX200 record only to Memory Sticks or a Memory Card and both have Back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS sensor for superb low-light video.

The new Sony HDR-CX210, HDR-CX260V and HDR-CX580V have similar features to each other, with 8GB of embedded Flash memory in the HDR-CX210, 16GB Flash memory in the HDR-CX260V while the HDR-CX580V records to a 32GB hard disk drive. All of them can also record to Memory Sticks or a Memory Card.

The still imaging capability of each are different, with the HDR-CX190, HDR-CX210 and HDR-CX200 taking a 5.3MP still image, the HDR-CX260V and HDR-CX760V taking an 8.9MP still image, and the HDR-CX580V capable of taking MASSIVE 20.4MP still images.

New Sony Projector Handycam Camcorders

Building on the successful introduction of camcorder projectors last year, 4 new models of projector camcorders, whichever way you want to say it are introduced for 2012 with more powerful projection up to 100 inches.

Sony PJ200 Projector Handycam

Again, very similar to each other, the HDR-PJ260V has 16GB of embedded Flash memory and is capable of taking 8.9MP snaps. The HDR-PJ580V has a 32GB Hard disk drive and can take 20.4MP snaps, the HDR-PJ710V has 32GB of embedded Flash memory and can take a 24.5MP still image and top of the tree is the HDR-PJ760V with 96GB of embedded Flash memory taking a 24.5MP still image.

Both the HDR-PJ710V and HDR-PJ760V have manual control options for Iris, Shutter, Exposure and White Balance with Balanced Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization.

The HDR-XR260V has 160GB of embedded Flash memory and can take an 8.9MP still image, a new 3D model is the HDR-TD20V Double Full HD 3D consumer camcorder with a 3.5″ LCD which lets you view in 3D without needing glasses. Capable of taking a 20MP still image and has a 64GB Flash Memory.

New Sony Bloggie Camcorders

Not to neglect the Bloggie camcorder buffs out there, a new MHS-TS22 model has a 4GB of built in HD memory and is shock proof, dust proof and waterproof taking 5MP stills and finally the MHS-TS55 Bloggie LIVE with 8GB built in HD memory taking 12MP stills and a stereo mic jack.

None of these are available just yet as they have only been announces this week, but will all be introduced over the next couple of months. You can subscribe to our RSS feed to be the first to be notified, or keep a watch on our review page built exclusively for Sony Camcorders.

Art Speck wishes all his loyal readers a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas.

I’m very fortunate to have a Special Wife who takes care of all this stuff, and all I’ve had to worry about is choosing a special Christmas Box for her, which I have done already, and she has no clue about it. She thinks it will be gift cards again.

My good fortune does not stop there though, for this year we will have all the family together for the first time in decades. How lucky a guy am I?

I sincerely hope you get to be as fortunate as I am this Christmas, and if you still need to find that perfect Christmas Box for someone special and do better than giving gift cards, here is my advice:

Desperately searching for the “RIGHT” Christmas Box and cannot decide?

Why not settle for giving gift cards, boring as a Christmas Box I know, but did you know if you are in the USA you can now buy gift cards for Amazon,

ITunes Gift Card Christmas Box

restaurants, Kohl’s, iTunes, Home Depot, Starbucks, SUBWAY, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Chili’s, Applebee’s, Outback Steakhouse and lots more, everyone seems to have a program for gift cards now. Check GIFT CARDS out here.

Pocket camcorders are very low on price this Christmas while being very high on features such as Full HD. Click the link for a selection of Full HD WATERPROOF pocket camcorders under $100.

It’s been a busy week in the camcorder reviews world, with Canon finally releasing all 4 of their new XF Professional Camcorders, Sony Handycam Top 5 Best Sellers under $500 camcorder reviews just in time for your Christmas shopping list, and Adobe 10 released as Adobe Premiere Elements 10.

The Canon HD camcorders are the very best Canon Professional camcorders available today, with the entry level Canon XF100 Professional Camcorder and it’s bigger brother the Canon XF105 Professional Camcorder, then with even higher specifications are the Canon XF300 Professional Camcorder and the Canon XF305 Professional Camcorder.

These all record in the Canon XF Codec – a 4:2:2 file-based MPEG-2 compression system using Compact Flash (CF) cards. Each of these Canon XF professional camcorders have so many features that they have their own review which you can read in detail on either the Canon USA page or the Canon UK page.

The release of Adobe Premiere Elements 10 video editing software is very welcome news for video guys like me who need a good Full HD 1920 x1080 video editor. I was fortunate to secure a new Adobe 10 copy a few weeks ago, and I must say I am very impressed with this new video editing software.

I’ve spent a lot of time editing travel footage, Top 5 new camcorder models and even PowerPoint presentations and again there is an Adobe Premiere Elements 10 video editing software review detailing the Top 5 new benefits of Adobe 10 for the PC and Mac. Read the USA Adobe 10 review here or the UK Adobe Premiere Elements 10 here.

Then for all Sony camcorder buffs, there’s a review of the best sellers of Sony Handycam video cameras, listing the Top 5 HD video cameras and standard definition Sony Handycambest sellers under $500 in 2011.

 Top 5 Best Sellers of Sony Handycams

You may be surprised to know that 2 of these Top 5 Sony Handycam best sellers are standard definition, these are the Sony Handycam DCR-SX45 and Sony Handycam DCR-SX65 both of which are packed with the same features as HD video cameras but without the high cost, very similar to each other,  but the DCR-SX65 has an extra memory capacity,  a 4GB embedded Flash Memory for up to 6 hours of recording.

The other 3 Sony Handycam Top 5 best sellers are the Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20, Sony HDR-CX160 and the Sony HDR-XR160 and these are all HD camcorders. There are 4 Bloggie Touch versions, but the MHS-TS20 is the only model with a 360° panoramic video lens and the only model offered in 2 colours, Black/Silver.

Recording directly to 1920×1080 HD MP4 for best video quality and taking class leading 12.8MP stills, the MHS-TS20 HD camcorder has 8GB of built-in flash memory for recording up to 4 hours of HD video, a 3″ touch screen LCD, SteadyShot image stabilization technology and 4x digital zoom lens with auto-macro mode.

The Sony HDR-CX160 HD Video Camera and the Sony HDR-XR160 Handycam Video Camera complete the best sellers Top 5 list of the Sony Handycam, again, both Full HD and similar in features to each other except that the Sony HDR-CX160 has 16GB of embedded Flash Memory but the Sony HDR-XR160 has a 160GB hard disc drive for up to 54 hours of HD recording, 5.1ch Surround microphone for vivid dynamic surround sound and Clear Phase stereo speakers for true and dynamic sound. I don’t think any other camcorder can beat the features of the Sony HDR-XR160 for under $500. Here are the links to the US Sony Handycam video cameras and the UK Sony Camcorders.

So with Christmas fast approaching, I hope this gives you some ideas of what to include on your Christmas List.

If like me you are battling with your video editing software to edit Full HD video, then I can personally recommend Adobe Premiere Elements 10, or treat yourself to a new camcorder for gigs, check out the new Canon Professional camcorders, or if it’s a new consumer camcorder packed with features, check out my videos of each of the Sony Handycam Top 5 Best Sellers under $500 camcorder reviews on Hub Pages. 

Sony has a great range of video cameras from both standard definition and Sony Handycam HD video camera models, but what are the best sellers of Sony Handycam video cameras?

With Christmas gift ideas looming, I’m sure you will be interested to know what are the Top 5 HD video camera best sellers of Sony Handycam so you will be well informed when you are asked the question “So what Christmas gift ideas do you have this year”.

Quoted straight from Amazon best sellers list are the Sony Handycam DCR-SX45, Sony Handycam DCR-SX65, MHS-TS20 Sony Handycam, Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20, Sony HDR-CX160 and Sony HDR-XR160. Remember this list is for Sony Handycam video cameras selling for under $500 Top 5.

Sony Handycam HDR-CX160 HD Video Camera

With 16GB of embedded Flash Memory for up to 6 hours of Full HD recording at 1920×1080 60p, superb low-light video with a Back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS Optical Sensor, a 3 inch LCD monitor and a 30 x Wide Angle G lens with 42x Extended Zoom, this Sony Handycam comes just below our under $500 Top 5 ceiling.

Add Intelligent Auto, Focus Tracking, Optical Steady Shot image stabilization, Wind noise reduction for clear voice recording, Golf Shot, built-in USB cable for easy file transfer/charge, Event Browse groups photos and videos for easy reference, Highlight Playback feature creates movies with transitions, a built-in LED Light and Direct Copy to external HDD without PC, who wouldn’t agree this is not one of your best Christmas gift ideas? 30 new owners gave this an average of 4 stars from 5. Read full review

Sony Handycam with 160GB Hard Drive

Sony Handycam HDR-XR160 Video Camera

This Sony HDR-XR160 is TOP of the Top 5 Sony Handycam best sellers list really, but it may be suitable more for the semi-pro who needs an HD video camera to make a living from.

Very similar features to the Sony HDR-CX160 HD Video Camera above, the Sony HDR-XR160 Handycam also sports a 160GB hard disc drive recording up to 54 hours of HD recording (in LP mode), 5.1ch Surround microphone for vivid and dynamic surround sound and Clear Phase stereo speakers for true and dynamic sound.

This is the Sony camcorder to beat if your budget is under $500, and plenty seem to agree with me for this Sony HDR-XR160 to make it into the Top 5 Sony Handycam best sellers list.

15 new owners gave this an average of 4.5 stars from 5. Read full review

Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 HD camcorder/MHS-TS20 Sony Handycam

The Sony Bloggie Touch comes in 4 flavours, but the MHS-TS20 Sony Handycam is the only model with a 360° panoramic video lens and the only model offered in 2 colours, Black/Silver.

Recording directly to 1920×1080 HD MP4 for best video quality and a class leading 12.8MP stills snapper, the MHS-TS20 HD camcorder has 8GB of built-in flash memory for recording up to 4 hours of HD video; a 3″ touch screen LCD, SteadyShot image stabilization technology and 4x digital zoom lens with auto-macro mode.

More features of the Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 HD camcorder include an easy to use touch & slide method for searching through your videos and pictures, a built in USB arm connects for file transfers to your computer, viewing your footage and recharging the battery, and an HDMI mini cable out.

For the price, I consider this Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 HD video camera a very worthy HD video camera to be included in this Top 5 list of best sellers under $500. No wonder it was voted as PC Magazine’s Editor’s Choice Winner for its excellent video quality, still image shooter, and big touch-enabled LCD, along with a variety of options enough to satisfy users.

The final 2 in the Top 5 Sony Handycam video cameras best sellers list may be surprising, as they are both standard definition camcorders, but please don’t dismiss the idea of buying a standard definition Sony video camera, as they have all the bells and whistles of an HD video camera at sometimes half the price, but only record in standard definition.

If the purpose of owning a Sony Handycam video camera is to record video of family events without commercial intent, read what these Sony Handycam standard definition video cameras have to offer for very little expense. 156 new owners gave this an average of 3.5 stars from 5. Read full review

Sony Handycam Standard Definition

Sony Handycam DCR-SX65 Camcorder

Despite recording only to standard definition, the Sony Handycam DCR-SX65 is packed with the same features as HD video cameras but without the high cost.

Features such as dual media card slots, 3.0″ touch-screen clear photo LCD screen, SteadyShot image stabilization, intelligent auto, advanced HAD CCD optical sensor, built-in zoom microphone with Dolby Digital stereo recording, 60x optical zoom, a Professional quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, face detection, a built-in LED video light, and there’s more:

Auto lens cover, Picture Motion browser software with film roll and face index for editing, and a built-in USB cable for easy file transfer or re-charging the battery  are all included. Get the picture? Who would deny this as a good Christmas gift idea? 4 new owners think so, voting a full 5 stars from 5. In black/blue or silver. Read the full review

Sony Handycam DCR-SX45 Camcorder

The Sony Handycam DCR-SX65 Camcorder and Sony Handycam DCR-SX45 Camcorder are virtually the same video cameras, both standard definition best sellers; with the DCR-SX65 having an extra memory capacity with a 4GB embedded Flash Memory for up to 6 hours of recording.

If like me you haven’t come across the terms film roll and face index as mentioned in the feature list of the DCR-SX65, Face Index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected in each scene.

When it’s time to play back video, simply search for what you want by selecting from among the detected faces displayed in the index and with Film Roll Index, the camcorder previews the beginning of scenes and creates scene indexes set at specified display intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes). 16 new owners gave this an average of 4 stars from 5. In black/blue or silver. Read full review

If you are tired of that old camcorder which lacks features and you are ready to upgrade, and think owning any one of these Sony Handycam Top 5 Best Sellers under $500 is a good Christmas gift idea, any one will give you the polished movies you crave for, from the standard definition Sony Handycam DCR-SX45 camcorder or DCR-SX65 which has extra memory capacity with a 4GB embedded Flash Memory, the award winning Sony Bloggie Touch MHS-TS20 1920×1080 HD video camera, to the Sony HDR-CX160 HD video camera and Sony HDR-XR160 Handycam Video Camera.

Our camcorder reviews indicate that movie makers regard the the Sony CX700 as a best camcorder which will record in 1920×1080, preferably 1080p with AVCHD MPEG-4 compression, a huge internal flash memory as well as an SDHC SD card or Micro SD card for extra storage. The Sony CX700 video camera has all of these features. Add BSI CMOS sensor for best low light shots, a large touch panel LCD screen and an EVF is an added bonus.

Sony CX700 camcorders record 50 Full HD frames every second (1920×1080/50p) in AVCHD for smooth video recording. AVCHD is a high quality MPEG-4 compression system used in many professional AVCHD camcorder models. Add to that is a new optical steadyshot active mode for 3-way camera shake correction.

Lack of memory  should never be an issue. The Sony CX700 HD video camera can record for almost 40 hours onto a 96GB internal memory with the option of adding an optional SD Card and Memory Stick for even more storage. The Sony HDR-CX700 camcorder can use 64GB SD Cards as well as 32GB memory sticks.

Quality sound is taken care of too, as the Sony CX700 HD video camera has a precision microphone array capturing 5.1-ch surround sound with greater sensitivity and reduced wind noise. The new microphone design and digital signal processing reduces wind noise, for clearer dialogue and sounds when shooting outside, while stereo speakers and S-Master technology guarantee clear sound on playback.

There are plenty of manual control options on the Sony CX700 camcorder with a manual focus key giving options for manual iris, shutter, exposure and white balance with peaking functions from an assignable dial.

Sony CX700 With Full Auto or Full Manual Control

Choose Intelligent Auto and the Sony CX700 camcorder gives you 90 different scene combinations going a step beyond traditional auto modes by analyzing your shot and then automatically selecting the appropriate settings from ten distinct scene modes from landscape, backlight, twilight, spotlight, low light, macro, portrait, baby, walk and tripod. Quick autofocus locks onto subject at high speed for clear, sharply-focused images, even in low-light conditions.

CinemaTone technology of the Sony CX700 HD video camera lets you capture stunning videos with deeper, more film-like color tones.
A clear, detail-packed colour electronic viewfinder lets you frame shots with absolute confidence, even when you’re shooting in bright sunlight and shows battery levels, while the 3.0″ LCD touchscreen indicates smile shutter, night shot, face detection, spot focus, tracking focus, expanded focus, zebra, and peaking for precision focus and exposure adjustments.

Not just for unbeatable video quality, the Sony CX700 camcorder will take 12MP photos with a built-in flash but no video light. Still images are compressed as JPEGs. Still Recordings are possible during movie  recording.(Dual Rec). An active Interface Shoe allows you to attach external lights and microphones which extends the capabilities of your camcorder even further.

Geotagging with built-in GPS receiver & NAVTEQ® maps7 an ideal choice for travellers. The Sony CX700 camcorders GPS receiver gives you the ability to view your current location on the LCD map display, as well as “tag” your shooting locations.

Sony HDR-CX700 HD camcorder GPS tracking tags videos and still images can be reviewed and played back using the Map Index function on the camcorder or once downloaded to your PC using the supplied PMB (Picture Motion Browser) software9. Additionally, the receiver automatically adjusts your camcorder’s clock to the proper time zone.

To predict the future of camcorders over next few years, we must first be familiar with all of the latest hardware and software technology available in consumer camcorders today.

Low light problems are becoming a thing of the past with a BSI CMOS image sensor, some consumer camcorders available today are capable of taking 16MP stills and also, any frame in a video recording can be selected as a still shot.

3D is fast becoming a regular feature in consumer camcorders, and some video camcorders have 240GB + 2 card ports each capable of taking 64GB cards, and Sony has a range of camcorders with a projection lens on the reverse side of the LCD screen to instantly show recordings onto the nearest wall for mass viewing.

If you are old enough you will remember when SVHS was regarded as a breakthrough from VHS 250 lines to 350 lines.  Now even the lowly pocket camcorder has FULL HD 1920x1080p, and if it’s from one of the BIG brands, it may even have AVCHD MPEG-4 compression.

Optical zoom, optical image stability and instant auto focus give us ultra-quick, accurate focus, a steady shot and long range clear video recordings.

A flip-out touch screen viewfinder can give us face recognition and many readings about the settings and aids in-camera editing with the right software on board, video light on the lens housing, external jacks, and on and on, isn’t that all wonderful.

So what about my headline: Light Field Camera the Future Camcorders over Next Few Years?

Could we see the lack of sufficient battery power being resolved by not solar panels, but with the camcorder body being moulded from solar panelling? I’ve only ever seen flat solar panels, but why can’t they be moulded into any chosen shape in the future to become the camcorder body?

EVF viewfinders are usually only available on semi-pro camcorders, with consumers struggling to frame a good shot by trying as best they can to exclude the light from diluting the picture in the LCD screen. Possibly this could be easily resolved with OLED screens as are presently being introduced on TV screens by Sony.

Taking technology from smart phones, can we expect to be able to record video of the future by recording either in portrait or landscape mode?

Smart phones also allow us to broadcast live pictures via Skype, Face Time or TinyChat where it’s now possible to have 12 friends on-line together. With internet access, a tuner and the rest of the innovations from the smart phone being built into the camcorder possible right now, the consumer camcorder of the future could be modular with optional stills camera and smart phone as optional extras for an all in one unit.

The iPhone 5 has 2 mini processors built into its tiny frame, so why not 3 in the camcorder of tomorrow, which could then become an all encompassing device for stills, movies, television and internet access.

But there’s more, much more. I hear all your collective gasps and reasons as to why various scenarios cannot happen just now, but the latest BSI CMOS image sensor will shortly be replaced by a light field sensor, yes LIGHT FIELD SENSOR.

These light field sensors will quickly replace much of the internal software of the camcorder, introducing new capabilities including a way to replace any movement of the lens.

A Light Field image sensor will unleash new ways to make and view movies. By using powerful new software, performance will be improved beyond imagination from increased speeds of movie and picture taking, capturing better pictures in low light and pushing resolution to heights we can only dream of today.

This will also innovate on camera lenses, controls and design with astonishing capabilities.

In a light field camera, light field sensors allow both the picture taker and the viewer to focus pictures after the event and switch seamlessly between 2D and 3D views. This will eventually apply to camcorders which incorporate this light field sensor technology.

Do you agree that the CMOS image sensor is soon to be heading in the same direction as the CCD image sensor by being replaced by a light field sensor, and will a light field camera rule the new camera market with light field photography becoming the norm?

I would love to hear your thoughts about my visions for the future of camcorders over the next few years, perhaps you can see beyond my vision, or you may think I’m hallucinating or just plain barmy, I would like to hear from you anyhow.

My final thoughts: will light field photography using the new light field camera and new camcorder using the light field sensor of tomorrow eventually make post production software as we know it to be obsolete?

Moving swiftly back to the present, if you cannot wait for all this new stuff to happen, visit the websites at either UK Camcorder Reviews or US Camcorder Reviews where you can read unbiased camcorder reviews of 200 of the latest models available today.
