Canon Vixia HG21 Raw AVCHD Sample

I was planning to post Canon Vixia HG20 raw AVCHD sample until I get to play with Canon Vixia HG21. Both cameras share similar specifications with the exceptions of larger hard drive and electronic viewfinder on Canon Vixia HG21.

Canon Vixia HG10 Raw AVCHD Sample

It took me a while to get to it, but here it is as promised, Canon Vixia HG10 raw AVCHD sample. The jitters in the movie is from the vibration of the car and the speakers as I placed the camcorder on the dashboard. The Image Stabilizer in this camcorder does work some wonders.

Inside the ZIP file, there is an mountable ISO file.

For Mac OS X users, if the ISO does not mount, use Toast or any other programs until I upload a DMG file.

I will be posting Canon Vixia HG20 raw AVCHD sample soon.

UPDATE (2009.02.01):
I’ll be posting Canon Vixia HG21 raw AVCHD sample instead.

Buying Canon Vixia HV30 Hi-Def Camcorder

I am waiting for UPS to deliver Canon Vixia HV30 that I ordered from Amazon.com. Currently I am using Panasonic HDC-SD5, Panasonic HDC-SD9, and Canon HG10 to work on multimedia projects. All three camcorders are AVCHD camcorders, which record on to SDHC or Hard Drive. Canon Vixia HV30 is an HDV Camcorder that records on to HD-MiniDV tapes.

As much as I like the AVCHD format, I found a few advantages using a tape-based camcorder. I will get into that later.

For now, I am waiting for the camcorder to arrive on July 3rd.

Circuit City Bundles Digital Rebel XSi with Compact Flash Card

Someone at Circuit City needs to do proper research before printing out their weekly ad.

For the week of June 1-7, Circuit City weekly ad featured in-store bundle special for Canon Digital Rebel XSi. For all the good intentions, they are bundling the DSLR Camera with an extra battery and a Compact Flash card.

There seems to be nothing wrong but Digital Rebel XSi uses SD and SDHC cards, not Compact Flash cards.

I am thinking about getting it from Amazon.com.
