Canon Vixia AVCHD Camcorders use AVCHD to record video as the following Vixia models: Canon Vixia HF S30, Vixia HF S21, Vixia HF S20, Vixia HF S200, HF M31, Vixia HF M30, Vixia HF M300, HF R11, Vixia HF R10, Vixia HF R100 (SDHC), Vixia HF S10, Vixia HF S100, Vixia HF20, Vixia HF200, Vixia HF S1,Canon VIXIA HF10.

These camcorders only record in high definition format using a special codec (compression/decompression) called AVCHD. This new codec is revolutionary for it's ability to compress very high quality HD video in a relatively very small space. Final Cut Pro (FCP) has gained the favor of many professional users including Hollywood film makers.
