Editors' Comments

Bulking up features and cutting down size, Canon delivers the HG21—a step-up from the older HG10 model. The 120GB internal hard-drive gives you the freedom to record hours of footage without being hampered by tapes, DVDs, or memory cards. Recording in full 1920 x 1080 high-definition, the HG21 captures brilliant footage. And the inclusion of a viewfinder and a multi-angle LCD display makes it easy to see exactly what you are recording.

HG21 (dwar - 10/30/09)

I love this camcorder. The video is amazing, but like most reviews on other websites, you should buy a spare battery. I burned a regular DVD off my computer and even though it wasn't in HD, it still looked good. Will probably purchase the DW 100 burner to archive the video and free up the space on the camcorder.
