just another gadget junkie coming from Hong Kong, a city where its peoples are always in pursuit of the latest and coolest gadgets, but not necessarily making any good use of them …
The following video was shot using the “latest” Canon Full HD consumer camcorder my wife gave me as Christmas present last year, which is only 2 weeks ago. It was the first video I shot using the camcorder’s built-in flash memory because I was testing it right out of the box in the shop. After spending 2 weeks with it, I must say it is an amazing camcorder. It is light and compact in size. I carry it with me everyday. Compared with my other HD camcorders, it beats them in both performance and video quality. It starts up quickly and performs exceptionally well under low-light conditions. But, sadly, I just learned today Canon has announced a new model – SF10, at 2009 CES, which is due to release in February. It spots a bigger and faster lens, which generally translates into even better video quality under low-light situations. I might as well get my wife’s money worth by embarking on a shooting spree in the coming weeks. Anyway, as the old saying goes in gadgetjunkie land, never trust an upgrade with your money that only has a minor upgrade in versioning. In this case, from HF10 to HF11.
