Canon Vixia HF100

By (cnet.com)

Excellent video quality; fast focus; compact, attractive, and comfortable design.

Wind filter not as dependable as previous Canon models; manual focus pretty useless.

One of a pair of Canon's first flash-based camcorders, the Canon Vixia HF100, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.

Canon Vixia HF100 Camcorder Review - Canon Flash Memory

By David Kender (camcorderinfo.com)

The Canon HF100 ($899 MSRP) comes from a good pedigree. It's nearly identical to the Canon HF10, which received our seal of approval earlier this year. The HF100 offers all the same image quality, manual controls, and form factor, but loses the 16GB inter...

Canon HF100

By Lori Grunin (cnet.co.uk)

Aside from price, there are only a few minor differences between the Canon HF100 and its brother, the HF10. Cosmetically, the HF100 is a sleek, matte-grey instead of black. Plus, it lacks the HF10's internal memory, relying on SDHC cards. Still, it produc...

"Great camcorder"

By mmedic123 (cnet.com)

Get a bigger battery, Pinnacle Studio 12 and ... 

Great pic quality. Image stabilization works well. Decent stills.

Takes getting used to. Cannot move it around fast while recording. Battery that comes with it has only 60-80 mins of recording time.

"Fabulous Liittle Camera"

By Losttsol (cnet.com)

Perfect family camera. No reason to not buy ... 

Easy to use. You'll be shooting HD video in 2 minutes upon opening the package. The video is superb for a sub $1000 amateur camera. The sound quality blew me away more than the video even. I've never had a camera with this level of sound clarity.

Bundled software is way low end. After playing around with it to make sure your camera works, go buy a good editing package. You will need it to do HD editing. Older software doesn't support HD content.

"Excellent Little HD Cam"

By robsargeant (cnet.com)

So far I'm impressed with this camera. I thin... 

Canon lense does great job creating amazing HD images. Has many manual features found on much more expensive cameras. Removable SDHC memory is a great plus too.

The joystick takes a while to get used to. Battery charge could last longer.
