When camcorders first launched decades ago the image quality was bad, the cameras were huge, and lots of tapes were needed to record anything. Today camcorders are very small, image quality is now often HD, and tapes are mostly a thing of the past.

Canon introduced three new camcorders that all record to internal storage in full 1080p HD resolution. The camcorders are all in the VIXIA line and record in 24Mbps bit rate in AVCHD format. Canon says that 24Mbps is the highest bit rate that can be used in the AVCHD format and makes for more detailed and smoother video recordings.

No one will argue that the digital camera has changed the photography world. Digital camera have made it easier and cheaper for camera users to shoot pictures and print them without the added cost and hassle of having film based pictures developed.

Canon is a major manufacturer of some of the best point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras on the market and today Canon has introduced its new entry-level Canon EOS Rebel XS DSLR. Canon says that the Rebel XS is aimed at the amateur photographer who is looking to upgrade form a point-and-shoot to their first DSLR.
