Dual Flash Memory
Record over 20 hours of footage to the 32GB internal flash memory. Expand your recording time by using an optional SDHC memory card.
Image Sensor & DIGIC DV II
The 1.07Mp 1/6" CCD image sensor works in tandem with Canon's DIGIC DV II Image Processor to reduce image noise and customize the color and tonality of your video and still images.
48x Advanced Zoom
Canon's 48x Advanced Zoom extends the length of the camera's longest zoom, so you can record far off subjects clearly and in focus with almost no loss in image quality.
2.7" Widescreen LCD
The widescreen LCD gives you a generous display on which to compose and playback your shots, not to mention an accurate view of what you're actually recording.
Digital Image Capture
There's no need to carry both a digital camera and camcorder to every event. The FS22 captures 1152 x 684 digital still photos to SDHC memory cards and includes special functions to make shooting easier, such as scene modes and auto focus.

The electronic image stabilizer corrects for inevitable camera shake, not just due to an unsteady hand but also when your subject is moving or you're lightly bumped.
