Don't take snarky personal baggage like Lori @Cnet's review as a reason to look elsewhere because of a viewfinder nobody bothers with anymore, aside from that, she is spot on for he review, it is even better I think than the HF S21 that just came out.
Great video, easy interface, external outputs, better video than Youtube or Vimeo can display
slow focus, low light less than stellar, manual focus also slow, limited depth of focus

In response to other reviewers who complained about the bundled software, I have this to say: 1. To copy, view, and store the videos on your computer, NO SOFTWARE IS REQUIRED! You just plug the camera in and download your videos like any other...
Excellent video quality ; Very solid design (other than a little rattle while powered off, but who cares about that!?) ; Very well-written user's manual
Not much, I would have liked an included HDMI cable though

The Canon Legria HF S100 is an excellent SD card-based, prosumer, high-definition camcorder. The lack of an eye-level viewfinder may put some off though, but you might find it a better buy than its almost identical -- but more expensive -- sibling, the...

You will be very surprised at the size and weight of this camcorder, it weighs about 450 grams which for a camcorder like this is extremely light, and as such, adds a little to the price. The camera is 70mm wide, 69cm height and 136mm long. This makes...
Overall you can be sure that the Canon S100 is a camcorder that you can really rely upon to always give you the clearest possible video. The camcorder is stylish and very easy to use making this camera perfect for shooting professional video even if...
The camcorder is black and silver with a large lens making this camcorder look like a very stylish professional camcorder.

Many companies turn out SD-based camcorders in compact designs, simply because the flash-based technologies allow for much smaller models than those based on tape, hard disks, and mini DVDs. While Canon continues to offer compact AVCHD models, the...

An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, you may nevertheless pass on the Canon Vixia HF S100 because it lacks an eye-level viewfinder. It's probably a better buy than the identical--but more expensive, because it has 32GB built-in memory--Vixia...

The HF S100 (along with its sister model, the HF S10) is Canon's new flagship HD camcorder for 2009. The camcorder has large shoes to fill, as it represents an upgrade over our winner of 2008 camcorder of the year-the Canon HF11. Canon has packed quite...
The HF S100 records exclusively to removable SD/SDHC memory cards, which are sold separately. Its upgraded sister model, HF S10, is essentially the same camcorder as the HF S100, but with 32GB of built-in flash memory (for an extra $200). With...
