All nine new Vixia models offer flash or SD-card-based storage &#8212; or both. And when both are present, the Relay Recording feature allows the camera to automatically switch between storage devices during recording. If that weren&#8217;t enough, all SD-packin&#8217; machines are compatible with the SDXC card format (up to 2TB). S series camcorders feature 1080p AVCHD video at 24Mbps, low-light optimized CMOS sensors, Digic 4 processors, 10x optical zoom lenses, 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD panels, and 8 megapixel still photo capture &#8212; with the ability to down-convert to MPEG-2. Prices start at $1,000 &#8212; due out in April. The M series models feature smaller touchscreens (2.7-inch) and a smaller CMOS sensor (which only manages 3 megapixel stills) and will be out in March with a starting price of $680. The R series, which is also out in March, brings up the bottom end with a starting price of $500, but still manages 1080p video (at a lower 17Mbps bitrate), while sacrificing the touchscreen and dropping down to 2 megapixel stills from the smaller, sure-to-be-noisy CMOS. If that all weren&#8217;t enough, Canon also has two new standard definition cameras in the FS series, with one sporting 16GB of built-in storage and the other doing the removable SD thing, with a starting price of $300. There&#8217;s full PR after the break.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders\/\">Canon adds new S, M and R series VIXIA HD camcorders<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders\/2580419\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_fs300_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders\/2580420\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_fs31_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders\/2580417\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_hfm30_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders\/2580415\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_hfm300_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/photos\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders\/2580410\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.engadget.com\/media\/2010\/01\/20100105_lores_hfm31_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders-two-regula\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Canon adds new S, M and R series VIXIA HD camcorders, two regular FS cams for good measure<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2010\/01\/05\/canon-adds-new-s-m-and-r-series-vixia-hd-camcorders-two-regula\/\">Canon adds new S, M and R series VIXIA HD camcorders, two regular FS cams for good measure<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\">Engadget<\/a> on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 10:39:00 EST.
