New Canon FS300 camcorder: reduced features, same price!
New Canon FS300 camcorder: reduced features, same price! Tube. Duration : 2.53 Mins.
The Consumer Electronics Fail of the Year Award goes to Canon, for introducing the new FS300 flash memory camcorder for 2010, replacing last year's FS200. So what's new? They deleted the external microphone and headphone jacks, but kept the price the same! Otherwise it is identical to the FS200, except with slightly improved image stabilization. The new FS31 also deletes the mic and headphone jacks, and also downgrades the image sensor from 1.07M to 680k pixels, compared to the outgoing FS21, but at least they dropped the price. But still, who in their right mind would settle for such a downgraded camera? The FS200 has been on sale recently for as low as US9. At that price, you can get a 16 GB flash memory card to put in it, and have a better camera overall than the new FS31, at a lower price. "New" doesn't always mean "Improved"!
