difficult to argue, whether technology has simplified our lives or complicated it. On one hand it is saving us so much time and effort, not to mention the wow experience it’s giving us. And on the other hand, it has created so many choices that it becomes very confusing for us to reach a decision about a gadget that best suits our needs, budget and tastes.

Canon's new flagship HD camcorder for 2009 is HF S100 along with its sister model HFS10. This camcorder is known to represent the upgraded version of the 2008- camcorder of the year – the Cannon HF11. Cannon has packed quite few interesting features in designing this upgrade, including a sizable 8.59-megapixel sensor, plenty of new controls, and a much larger lens than the previous models. With Panasonic (HDC-TM300), and Sony (HDR-XR520V), making significant strides in performance this year it has become difficult to choose from the top contenders.
