New Canon Vixia Offers Mega Storage
Posted by Hooch Tan in "Digital Home News" @ 02:30 PM
"Equipped with 64GB of internal flash memory, the new camcorder can record up to 24 hours of HD video and includes an additional SD memory card slot that is fully compatible with latest generation SDXC memory cards. The new SDXC memory card specification increases storage capacity from 32GB up to 2Terabytes and enhances data transfer speeds. "
Do you remember the days when flash memory cards were measured in megabytes? My first digital camera was a Logitech Fotoman. It was cutting edge, let me tell you. Black and white 320x240 images with 1MB of storage! Now I hear, 20 years later that Canon has this camcorder with 64 thousand times the storage capacity? I think I should go back to the video store and return my Fotoman for a Vixia! 64GB of storage is impressive, and the ability to add even more means that the camcorder will probably record much more of your life than you are prepared to show. Have any of you gone through more than 64GB of storage on a single trip? What about 2TB?
