Canon IVIS Camcorders Improved with New CMOS Sensor

Looks like Canon is getting ready to release three new camcorders, although the newcomers will only be sold in Japan, at least at first.

The three camcorders that Canon Japan intends to start shipping in March (2012) go by the names of HF M52, HF M51 and HF R31.

They all have the DIGIC DV III image processing technology, “Canon HD Video lens” and “multiple scene IS”.

Long story short, the features allow for multiple pictures to be taken fast and in high quality.

Additionally, the HF M52 has Wi-Fi support, making it possible to share videos via social networking sites (and transfer videos of course).

Finally, the HD R31 stands out for the 32x optical zoom (wide-angle and telephoto conversion).

Unfortunately, the prices have not been made clear, so people have to wait for two more months to find that out. Go here for more info (translated).
