Canon VIXIA HF11 model name turns up, imaginations run wild
Believe it or not, HF11 actually wasn't one of the many units Canon introduced at CES, but curiously enough, that moniker is showing up on the outfit's own website. When taking a peek at the Drivers & Downloads section for the DC320 DVD camcorder, you'll find a link for a PDF brochure of the VIXIA family that supposedly includes the HF11. Upon opening said file, however, you'll discover nary a mention of the mysterious item. A new model waiting just around the bend? A simple typo? A devilish trick played by the suits at Canon? The world may never know.

This would be sweet. I'm about to pull the trigger on on HF100 but I'll wait a week to see if this shows it's head. Maybe a HF10 with faster data rate!?

Good catch, but it's probably a typeo. the pdf it links to doesn't mention the HF11 and you'd think they'd have shown this camera at CES... maybe it's next years model but i'd think they'd follow the HV 20/30 naming... so HF 10/20 and HF100/200... makes sense to me!

I doubt there is an HF11 coming so soon, I would chalk it up to a typo in my opinion.
The data rate isn't a problem in my opinion, I have the HF10 and its max data rate has fantastic quality played on a 1080p projector. The high data rate also works out to 1 hour of video for an 8GB SD card.
