Features

Flash Memory in a Compact Size

The FS10 is one of Canon???s ???rst and most affordable Flash

Memory camcorders.

In addition to the advantage of added recording time, Flash Memory offers more to you as well. You???ll appreciate its quick response time, because it doesn???t have to wait for moving parts.

Press the record button and your FS10 starts recording video faster than you???ve ever seen before. In addition, when you review your footage, it will start playing more quickly as well.

Another plus is the FS10???s lower power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. It???s just what you need so you don???t miss that pivotal play on the ???eld or the moment when they say ???I do???.

While we certainly hope you keep your FS10 securely in your hand while shooting, if it happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you???ll be happy to know that Flash Memory

makes your camcorder more shock resistant than other recording storage systems. It also minimizes the chance of data loss due to damage to your recording media or the moving parts in other camcorders.

Making this new technology even more convenient to use is the FS10???s compact size and light weight. Measuring only 2.3??? wide, 2.4??? high and 4.9??? deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry body.
