"Fantastic piece of kit. Amazing image stabilization" on by josephtame
Pros: Image stabilisation, 64GB hard drive, works seamlessly with Final Cut, very high quality picture
Cons: Poor battery life (1hr) with included battery, expensive
Summary: I'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, or there's an MP4 available for download. You Tube version also available. The page in question is

"I use it for my webseries" on by Corrado_Filmmaker
Pros: Excellent picture quality, stabilization, frames per second can be adjusted. 2 powerful microphones, ideal for my web series.
Cons: Just the battery life, had to spend an extra $130 bucks for an 8 hour battery. But the camera itself is perfect.
Summary: I use this camera for my webseries since I could not afford a high end DSLR. So I did some research and decided to get this camera. It was a GREAT investement. Check out my webseries deadroad.net everything from episode 6 and on was shot with this camera. Let the footage speak for itself.
