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.

I forgot to check the date on the camcorder. It says that it was recorded on April 25th, 2008. Check out a different video sample below.

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.

Canon HG10 Microphone Jack

Canon HG10 AVCHD Camcorder is equipped with a microphone jack.

Click picture for higher resolution version (1920×1080)

Canon HG10 Advanced Accessory Shoe compatible accessories:

  • DM-50 Directional Stereo Microphone
    Get near-professional quality sound for your movies with this shotgun stereo mic. Select from pure shotgun or shotgun + surrounding sound modes. Since the mic is powered by the camcorder’s power source, you remain cable free. Wind shields are included.
  • Video Flash Light VFL-1
    To be used with advanced accessory shoe combination video light & flash unit.
  • VL-3 Video Light
    The VL-3 Video Light connects to the Advanced Accessory Shoe and is powered directly by the camcorder.

Theoretically, it is possible to use both directional microphone and and the video light at the same time. Unfortunately there is only one accessory shoe in Canon HG10. It is a matter of “mounting” the microphone somewhere else. You can be creative.
