Canon VIXIA HF S11 Camcorder

I'm trying to make a decision on whether I want to include video of myself in future products. If the decision is to include that video, I'll need to get a good camcorder. That has led me on a search for a really good HD camera. If I were to buy today, I'd get the Canon VIXIA HS S11 Camcorder. It can store 6 hours of HD content or 24 hours of SD content using the 64 GB of internal storage.

For those who need more storage space, you can also use SDHC cards to add more. The sensor captures full 1080p (1920x 1080 pixels) for amazing clarity. The one knock on the camera mentioned by reviewers is that the battery only lasts about 90 minutes. I don't see that as a big problem. If you are going to need to shoot for a longer amount of time without the ability to plug in, just buy another battery or two or three. I hope to make my decision in the next month and I'll follow up in a future post if I end up getting this camcorder.

Last week I wrote about the Linksys WUSB300N-RM Wireless Adapter. A loyal reader asked if the adapter would work with Windows 7 since there were no recent driver updates on the Linksys Web site. I decided to give it a try on my Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) machine and it worked just fine. So if you were concerned that you couldn't get Windows 7 drivers for this adapter, you don't need to worry any longer.
