‘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.
