Canon VIXIA HF S30

From the manufacturer's website:

" The Canon VIXIA HF S30 Flash Memory Camcorder is more than just a way to record your memories it provides you with numerous ways to flex your creativity while keeping your budget in check. The fact that the HF S30 shoots 1920 x 1080 high def video makes it appealing, but the HF S30 goes beyond basic 1920 x 1080i with 24p native capabilities. Recording with the 24p frame rate you can spice up the HD recording with a cinematic look that's great for aspiring film makers. In addition, the 24p Cinema Mode and 30p Progressive mode (both recorded at 60i) create videos that are also cinematic or Internet-friendly. "
