Advantages: good picture quality in most aplications, very light ,good batery life Disadvantages: focus can be poor in very low light recordings
...under £200 which for a brand new model isn't too bad but I suspect this is a vision of the future and all camcorders will go solid state soon and the price will come down to ~£100 like the base level Minidv camcorders from JVC and Canon have done. ... more
Bought the FS100 for the birth of our baby boy. Once I had got used to the options and adjusted a few things the sound and picture are very good for a memory card based camcorder in this price range.
Mostly make sure you've turned off the wind guard option or the sound will be terrible in non windy recordings
It also has a White LED spot light for low light conditions which really helps...allot of camcorders lack this.
The auto focus in reasonable light conditions works well gives good 'crisp' video….however in low light conditions with the led light turned off its not quite as fast but just make sure not to move too quickly between focal points and all is fine.
The image stabilisation works well and doesn't compromise video quality much at all.
The optical zoom is good and it records in 16:9 (widescreen) so recordings look great on a WS telly…use it in Advanced zoom mode for maximum quality and ease of use.
Its also very easy to use and incredibly light and fairly small its half the size of my old JVC minidv camcorder and under a quarter of the weight, the battery lasts for well over 2 1/2 hours (haven't managed to run it out yet whilst recording)
I've got a class 6 16GB SDHC which cost me £25 incl delivery from fleabay and I can get 3hours and 46mins of top (XP) quality vids on it!!!!.
The biggest plus is the very very quick transfer times to your PC gone are the days of waiting hours for minidv camcorders.... a few clicks and couple of minutes and its all done..
Don't bother with the FS10 or FS11 with the built in memory as SDHC cards are cheap and getting cheaper.
Almost forgot to mention it has a fast start up time and if you leave it in standby (not totally off) it'll really is ready to shoot in less than 1 second !!!!!!!!!
The only bad points are that it doesn't feel as well built as my old JVC minidv camcorder…but I'll just be more careful with it. Plus the software supplied is basic but it does the job quickly (well it does on my home built quad core system)
I picked this up for just under £200 which for a brand new model isn't too bad but I suspect this is a vision of the future and all camcorders will go solid state soon and the price will come down to ~£100 like the base level Minidv camcorders from JVC and Canon have done.
Advantages: small, good looking, long battery life, quick transferring of footage Disadvantages: No high Def.
The key fact to this video camera is that it records onto flash memory. Because it uses these SD and SDHC flash memory cards you get some useful benefits; 1) The battery last longer than HDD, DVD or tape cameras. The standard filming time is 3 hours. 2) Transferring video and photos to a PC is incredibly simple, you just stick the SD card into your PC card reader (I haven't seen a PC sold without a built in reader for years) and drag the files over ... ...light, not much bigger than a digital camera. So it can fit into your bag without it being a pain to carry around. It's also pretty good looking which is a nice bonus and really well designed to fit in your hand comfortably.
Its worth mentioning that if you forget to put a SD card in you can still record directly onto the internal memory. Also as SD and SDHC cards get bigger and bigger in capacity you have a camera that will never be limited by ...

Advantages: Good image and long battery life Disadvantages: Bad instruction for PC connection.
I bought this camcorder 6 months ago. It produces excellent image and very good sound quality. It is good enough for family use with reasonable price. It records every happy moment successfully. ''' It is a small size and stylish looking camcorder. ''' It is not exactly a pocket size camcorder but it definitely won't be a big piece of luggage for your travelling. To avoid damage the camcorder, I ordered a bag as well to protect the device and store ... ...very easy to handle it. '''It is a quite memory card camcorder.''' It can use Secure Digital (SD) card and Secure Digital with High Capacity (SDHC) card, which is a popular type of memory card used by most digital device for storage. SD card has capacity up to 4 Giga Byte (GB). SDHC is the new version of this memory card, which has high capacity more than 4 GB. Since it uses memory card, so the batteries life is good and it also does not have the ...

Quick review of Canon FS100
This is a great little camera that packs a pretty big punch. If you looking for a professional camera then look elsewhere as this is not the camera for you.
Pros
- Tiny Size
- Able to swap out SD cards
- Battery lasts longer as it has no moving parts
Cons
- Doesn't do HD quality
- Films poorly in dark lighting. It does have a light but doesn't cut it.
So if your looking for a camera that you can fit in your bag or coat and just want don't want it to get in the way then pick it up. If you looking for a pro camera then think about spending a little more.
Overall it's a great camera for the money. ...

From Canon's long history of optical excellence, advanced image processing, superb performance and technological innovation in photographic and broadcast television cameras comes the latest in camcorders. With the light, compact Canon FS100, you can have stunning video with the ease and numerous benefits of flash memory, at an affordable price. Flash memory is used in some of the world's most innovative electronic products such as laptop computers, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones. It is just the thing for catching more of your life's most special moments. In addition you will get the FS100's Canon exclusive features such as Canon 48x Advanced Zoom and Canon’s DIGIC DV II Image Processor, combined with a CCD image sensor, image stabilization and a widescreen LCD. You can even choose the color for your FS100 that suits you best. It is truly a flash memory camcorder that's both hard to beat and unmistakably Canon.
