    CNET Review

    The Good: Excellent video quality; fast focus; compact, attractive, and comfortable design.

    The Bad: Wind filter not as dependable as previous Canon models; manual focus pretty useless.

    The Bottom Line: Like its sibling the HF10, Canon's flash-based Vixia HF11 delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package. However, the HF11 delivers a bit more value for its lower price.
