It's a big, brash bully with an intimidating 52mm filter diameter and stealth black chassis. Yes, the Canon Vixia HF S21 is here, and it sits at the top of Canon's HD totem pole for 2010. With the ability to record 1920x1080 HD video at 24Mbps in four different frame rates, the Vixia HF S21 is a tough machine to beat. The monster also roars with a 3.5-inch touch-screen LCD that functioned excellently, and a host of semi-pro features like dual SDHC card slots, Zebra patterns, peaking, and Gain control. We liked using the Control dial, which could be assigned to three different Manual controls, but wish Canon had added a lens ring instead. AVCHD, though in its honeymoon stage, is still a relatively new format, so if you're looking for a simple drag-and-drop video file solution, the HF S21 will not help you unless you have a firm knowledge of NLEs.
