Reviews of the Canon Vixia HF S11

CNET Review
The Good: Excellent video quality and performance; nicely designed interface; fast battery charging.
The Bad: No eye-level viewfinder; expensive; lens cover rattles when closed.
The Bottom Line: An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, the Canon Vixia HF S11 has the advantage of an excellent image stabilizer but it disappointingly lacks an eye-level viewfinder.
