I’m a podcast producer based in Tokyo and last week took delivery of the HF S11. I would just like to say that this camera is stunning! The picture quality is simply superb, and the image stabilisation is unlike anything I’ve seen on a consumer camera before.
I shot a video of a traditional Japanese dance festival last week – all handheld, and much of it filmed from quite a distance (link below).
We use it with the DM100 Directional Stereo Mic – superb piece of kit.
The battery life with the included BP-807 is dissapointing – about one hour in reality (we have now invested in the BP-827). We will also be buying a wide angle lens as for interviews you have to get a fair distance between the camera and the interviewee.
Can’t recommend this camera highly enough. Works wonderfully with Final Cut / iMovie too.
The version of our video we have on Facebook is the best quality upload we have, or there’s an MP4 available for download. You Tube version also available. The page in question is

Features-wise, this camcorder is really good. Those who are fond of recording videos, this camcorder is the best option. It comes with advanced features. The design is also very decent. It is a good performer.
