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.
The VIXIA HF11 records up to 12 hours of HD video to 32GB of internal flash storage and has a SDHC slot for additional memory when needed. The VIXIA HG20 can record up to 22 hours of video to a 60GB internal HDD and has a SDHC card slot. The final camcorder is the HG21 with 160GB of storage — recording up to 45 hours of video — and a SDHC card slot for expansion. The camcorders will be available in September with the HG11 selling for $1199, the HG21 for $1299 and the HG20 for $949.

Sure, we have seen many weirdly shaped usb drives. But none of them can match this bullet pen drive. The bullet drive gives a break from those boring rectangular drives which literally piss me off when I look at them.
Sad part is it only contains 1gig storage space so storage-craving geeks like me will be better off with those large-capacity boring drives. But if it offers 4gig or something and if it actually gets manufactured then I’ll be the first one to buy it.

The new m.icatcher is a new point-and-shot camera from MyGuide that comes with the advent of GPS photography, also known as geo-tagging, let’s the camera can also record the picture’s geographic location. In theory, to match the photos with their locations, both the pictures and the GPS data are uploaded (usually via USB cable) to a computer. With specialized software (e.g. mapping software like Google Earth), the computer compares the time stamp of the photo to the time stamp from the data on the receiver to attach location information to each photograph. And this process called Geotagging a.k.a Geocoding and refers to adding geographical information such as latitude, longitude, altitude, and place names to various forms of media. Depending on the mapping software and the type of receiver, the photos can be labeled and organized according to their location.
MyGuide was showing off the m.icatcher at IFA in Berlin and the camera will be available in Europe from October 2008.

Star-studded stately home setting: Scott Maslen married love-of-life Estelle Rubio in front of his EastEnders' friends
He was so overwhelmed that he had trouble uttering his vows and at times had to comforted by Estelle, 33, who reassuringly stroked his cheek.
'I really held it together well, didn’t I?' he joked.
The ceremony took place at a stately home set in 500 acres of beautiful parkland and the 150 guests included Scott’s EastEnder’s co-stars Barbara Windsor, Patsy Palmer, Sid Owen, Steve McFadden, Jo Joyner, Samantha Janus (who was matron of honour) and Perry Fenwick.
They are the very picture of a happy family - perched on the kerbside they chat and laugh as they admire the latest addition to the family.
But just months ago this scene would have been unimaginable. Back then Britney Spears was estranged from her mother Lynne and younger sister Jamie Lynn.
But there was no hint of the horrors of the past year as the teen idol celebrated her two sons' birthdays yesterday with a family reunion.
Together again: After years of acrimony, Britney and her mother share a tender moment with Jamie Lynn's daughter Maddie Briann on the curbside outside Britney's LA home yesterday
She spent a relaxed day with her mother Lynne, father Jamie, 17-year-old sister Jamie Lynn and her three-month-old daughter Maddie Briann.
Jamie Lynn had flown in from her home in Louisiana to Los Angeles to celebrate the birthdays of Britney's sons, which are only two days apart.
Sean Preston turned three on September 14 and Jayden was two on September 12. It is not clear if their father Kevin Federline, from whom Britney is divorced, was present at the party.
Hands on: The Spears women reconnect with each other after a year of strife
Looking at the family portrait it seems incredible to think that in June last year the 26-year-old served her mother with a restraining order to stop her having any contact with her grandsons.
Then in January, in an image that shocked her fans, she was pictured sobbing uncontrollably on a kerb at the side of the road with only her puppy for comfort.
Teenage beauty: Angelina posed in these modeling pictures at 16... before going on to adopt a far less clean-cut image
And the carefree innocence of 16-year-old Angelina's grin has been replaced by a perfect Hollywood smile.
These photos, which have just come to light, were taken when Angelina was an aspiring unknown.
The rebellious daughter of actor Jon Voight, Angelina's teens were a tumultuous time for her. At 14, she was permitted to move in her older boyfriend into her mother Marcheline Bertrand's LA home and later dropped out of acting classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute.
Estranged from her father, she has since admitted to suffering bouts of depression, but went on to return to theatre studies and graduate from Beverly Hills High School.
The young unknown had naturally glossy teeth, skin and hair
Sixteen years on and the twice-divorced actress is a mother-of-six, having just given birth to twins with her partner Brad Pitt. They are now the proud parents of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline born in July, Shiloh, two, and adopted children Zahara from Ethiopia, Pax from Vietnam and Maddox from Cambodia.
