Canon's HG21 HD hybrid camcorder gets hands-on treatment

The flow of HD camcorders has slowed dramatically since CES 2008, but Canon bucked the trend by introducing a new pair smack dab in the middle of summer. The brawny (and capacious) HG21 was recently handled by the mates over at CNET's UK branch, and a host of hands-on photos have magically appeared. At first glance, the general build reminds us a lot of JVC's Everio HD40, but it's probably that 120GB HDD flanked on the side that does it. At any rate, have a gander yourself down in the read link.

I don't know if I'm happy about a new camera model coming out every six months, where the typical availability of a given model is about six months. It makes it really hard to keep track of what is good and what isn't from a durability and longevity perspective, and it makes it harder to recommend models because what I knew six months ago is just outdated. Granted, most of Canon's updates are often just cosmetic (color, finish) + capacity updates.
