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.

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.

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. ...
