In fact I changed from the default to record straight to the card because it's easier to pop the card in to my reader than to plug in the Canon via USB and have to plug it in the outlet as well...what the hell was canon thinking with those shenanigans?]]>Jul 16th 2009 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/

Never, never buy or use an interlaced camera. It's not the 1930s anymore.]]>Jul 16th 2009 6:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/
Nevertheless, pretty much all current Canon camcorders support both interlaced and progressive (and really, interlaced will not die anytime soon). But Canon, like a lot of other manufacturers, are doing the wrong thing, and taking away the EVF from nearly all its lineup. The LCD is fine and dandy for indoor work, but for outdoors it's downright lousy. It's also more of a drain on the battery. It's not because of a compactness issue, since an EVF takes very little real estate, and it's not a cost issue, since HD camcorders are in the premium range.

A better statement: Never, never buy a camcorder without an EVF if you're going to shoot outdoors.]]>Jul 16th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/"Total pixels of about 389 megapixels,..."]]>Jul 16th 2009 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/
Head to vimeo.com or YouTube to check out some sample shots from both.]]>Jul 16th 2009 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/
1) Original poster claims AVCHD is hard (or harder) to edit and possibly and its compression runis pic quality (motion artefact blurryness and blockyness, I'm presuming)
2) Second poster says AVCHD is better.
3) Third poster says low-light is better on HDV-based cam, which indicates to me at least one aspect of the HDV cam is better than newer AVCHD cam. Also claims neither is easy to edit without a quad core (but I'm still guessing AVCHD is far more processor-intensive).

Am I missing something?]]>Jul 16th 2009 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 17th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/Jul 16th 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/16/canon-hf-s11-and-hf-21-avchd-camcorders-flash-more-memory-in-jap/
