United Kingdom / Republic of Ireland, 07 January, 2008: Canon revitalises the Standard Definition (SD) market with the launch of a stunning range of camcorders that record movies to flash memory. The Megapixel Canon Digital Video Camcorders FS11 and FS100 are not only compact and power efficient – they are also graced with a stunning new sense of style. In fact, these designer camcorders are the ideal solution for all types of moviemaker: from teens in the park, to office workers on a night out and grandparents on holiday. Thanks to solid state memory, they offer the kind of storage capacity previously only seen in Hard Disk Drive (HDD) models, yet are housed in a body no larger than the size of a family digital camera.

For total convenience, the Dual Flash Memory FS11 gives users the option of shooting to standard SD/SDHC memory cards or its 16 Gb internal memory –offering over 10 hours of recording. With ever-larger SDHC memory cards now on the market, users can easily increase the overall recording capacity of these models, all the while retaining the ability to just pick up and shoot when a card isn’t to hand. The FS100 records to SD/SDHC memory cards only – compact and easily removable, they are ideal for sharing with friends and family. As Canon camcorders, both models naturally benefit from class-leading video technologies, including the new 45x Advanced Zoom system. “The FS series is a groundbreaking addition to Canon’s range of digital imaging devices, offering content creators and family moviemakers everywhere the ultimate in style, compactness and convenience,” said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. “The style and good looks of each model are reminiscent of Canon’s popular range of compact digital still cameras – the introduction of flash memory recording demonstrates that Canon remains committed to refining and improving its camcorder range, bringing the latest technologies to every user.” Availability The Canon FS11 & FS100 are available from April 2008 The new FS series: - Dual Flash Memory imaging devices recording to SD/SDHC and internal memory (FS11) – for high capacity and responsive control
