Yeah, but you STILL need a tripod.\u00a0<\/strong> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\nPeople have come to rely on image stabilization and although I am a fan of old fashioned tripods, it is absolutely good to have quality image stabilization for those times when a tripod slows you down.<\/p>\n
The VIXIA HF G10 features Canon’s proprietary Dynamic SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization <\/em>which utilizes continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range, which is meant to correct a broad range of unwanted motion on both the wide and telephoto lens settings.<\/p>\nTOUCH SCREENS COME TO VIDEO CAMERAS<\/strong><\/p>\nAnother quite revolutionary feature with this camcorder is the fact that the viewfinder is a touch panel control. Canon advertises this as speeding up and simplifying navigation. The touch screen also is used for a focusing feature they call Touch & Track<\/strong>, which allows you to get precise focus and exposure on any subject by selecting your choice right on the Touch Panel LCD.<\/p>\nNow that is simply amazing IMHO!<\/p>\n
