LAS VEGAS — It’s not only the HD video cameras that are getting big fat storage — Canon’s line of new standard def camcorders has just been announced at CES 2009, and the top of the line FS 200 has been well endowed with 32GB of flash memory and also a slot to add in an SDHC memory card.
The range carries Canon’s current DIGIC DV II procesor instead of the DV III found in the new Hi-Def cams, but by in return you get to choose from a range of pretty colors. At the Canon booth, while I was shooting some product shots, one of the Canon girls came up to the counter and started pretending to be a dumb CES showgoer:
Does this come in pink? I’ve seen a pink camera before and it was awesome. You guys should make a pink camera.
And:
Can you tell me the difference between SD and HD?
Other than that, there isn’t much — the SD cams are aimed at the bottom end of the market but, although lightweight, they don’t feel plasticky. Pricing: the FS200, which records only to SD media, will go for $350. The FS21 and FS22, which have internal memory as well as SD card slots, will be $500 and $600, respectively.
