Canon Elura 100
The Elura 100 ($400 as of 5/2/06) is small both in size and in price: In fact, at 2.2 by 3.0 by 4.3 inches, it's one of the smallest camcorders available. Though it's not quite pocket-size, it's compact and light enough to fit into a purse, so it won't...
Small and compact captures widescreen video
Case seems a little flimsy low-light performance could be better
The Canon Elura 100 is a good choice for budget shooters. While the image quality isn't great, the Elura is a compact, easy-to-use camera that won't confuse novice filmmakers

image quality
Canon Elura 100
Compact size; fast, 20X zoom lens; solid color in video footage.
Average low-light performance; no accessory shoe.
With a big zoom, a small size, and a decent price, the Canon Elura 100 is a great choice if you plan on steering clear of low-light situations.

Canon Elura 100 Camcorder Review
The rain forest, the polar ice caps, and the MiniDV - three quickly diminishing resources we would like to save. In some of the clearest evidence that MiniDV is indeed going the way of the dinosaur, Canon has replaced the entire Elura line (three...

Expert Review
The Canon Elura 100 represents the entire middle-of-the-road Elura line, squarely between the bargain-priced ZR models and the higher-end Opturas. Last year there were three Elura camcorders. This year, Canon seems to believe that the Elura 100 ($399...

Canon Elura 100 MiniDV camcorder
The Canon Elura 100 is a good choice for budget shooters; although the image quality isn't great, it's a compact, easy-to-use camera that won't confuse novice filmmakers.
Low cost; compact; wide-screen shooting mode and screen; clear, bright LCD; excellent battery life
Comparatively mediocre video and still image quality; background motor noise
The Elura 100 fits comfortably in the hand, and the controls are in the right spots for easy shooting. The zoom control for its 20X optical zoom lens sits under the index finger (the digital zoom goes up to 800X, but the image quality is so bad at that...

Consumer review (newegg.com)
Never buy this model and from NewEgg
BE CAREFUL with this company If you ask for exchange, and ship thing back, they will just told you the item you got doesn't match with their system record, and just ship thing back to you. Be careful when you buy from Newegg and check your item serial...
None, sorry for my angry. This is first time I wrote such a bad review about any online store
1. The motor of the MiniDV tape system is really noisy! The tape I used is TDK MiniDV tape I just bought from a local Costco store. The microphone can pick up the high-pitch noise easily. When I played it back, it is like you are on a air field with a...
