Very small and easy to use
Low light gets a bit grainy, but I imagine that is a problem with all camcorders

Excellent build quality. Very good picture and sound quality. Very easy to use but with plenty of features. Small and quite light
Poor software with camera makes editing difficult. I have opted to use Sony Vegas Platinum 9 which handles high definition files

Award: Best Buy!
The Canon HF100E is a well equipped AVCHD camcorder, although we are disappointed by the lack of an electronic viewfinder or a manual focus ring.
We can't argue with the Canon HF100E's build quality or the resulting images and we like the bright LCD that makes it easier to see what you are shooting in bright outdoor conditions. The cinema mode and digital effects impress us too. We wish Canon...

Award: Recommended!
Similar to the award-winning HF10, but cheaper.
In comparison to the HF10, the similarly-specced HF100 actually works out better value when you factor in the price of memory. Ok, the HF10 can add a 16GB card and give you four hours of shooting in FXP - comparable to a hard disk-based model - whilst...
But that's hardly a major hassle, and for this reason the HF100 usurps the higher-end HF10 as our top AVCHD camcorder choice.

Excellent video quality ; Fast focus ; Compact, attractive and comfortable design
Wind filter not as dependable as previous Canon models ; Manual focus pretty useless
Onthe downside, high-contrast edges show more fringing than usual. Thestereo microphone sits beneath the lens and generally delivers goodaudio quality. However, in recent models Canon changed the wind filteroption from a forced-on to automatic, and...

Not just a truly solid-state camcorder but one that produces superb quality high definition video and has all the inputs and outputs we like to see on a serious camcorder. Can anything beat the Canon HF100?
Every so often we receive a camcorder for review which knocks us out from the moment it's removed from the box. We'd already seen advance pre-production samples at an invitation-only Canon preview back in February 2008 in London and although it wasn't...
We haven't been disappointed. At its highest 17Mbps quality setting, the clips recorded with the HF100 are absolutely superb when played back not only on a HDTV display via HDMI but even when displayed using the supplied AV connectors on a 28"...

Lightweight and extremely versatile, the flash-based Canon Vixia HF100 is the future of high-definition camcorders.
For such a small camcorder, the Canon Vixia HF100 is remarkably versatile, with a variety of settings and modes that should be enough for any type of videographer. It’s a strong argument in favor of AVCHD as the choice for high-definition recording in...
