The Vixia HF100 is truly an amazing camera. I knew when I bought it that I would be impressed by it, but I had no idea just how great this thing would be. from Amazon.com It's really an amazing camera. It's Pro-sumer, so if you're a true Pro, you need to spend some extra money, this camera won't do all the things the real Pros want, but if you're on the "I am a gadget freak" side of the consumer space - this is your new toy. from Amazon.com Canon VIXIA HFS100 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom from Amazon.com My previous camcorder was a Sony purchased about 8 years ago and using miniDV tapes. Needing to upgrade, I wanted a camcorder that would record HD and liked the option of using memory cards. from Amazon.com pros: good image resolution and color management small size, better manual controls and good lens from Amazon.com I bought this camera but returned it for 2 reasons: 1) Mediocre low light performance (i.e., recording in a typical in-door setting) 2) Too much camera shake, despite image stabilizer from Amazon.com Be very skeptical of anybody who claims to be knowledgeable about video cameras, and then states this Canon to be near-professional quality. There is one huge difference between this camera and a professional-level one: dynamic range. from Amazon.com I bought this camera for a commercial I was shooting. It preformed so well while shooting and the picture is stunning. from Amazon.com Took it out of the box and turned it on - immediately noticed the LCD had a dead pixel. 2. Shot a quick video which I then copied from the built in hard drive to my SD card. Put the SD card in my computer and tried to open the video but to my dismay the video is in the .mts file format which requires a special CODEC in order to open and view the video. from Amazon.com Short and sweet. The Vixia FH s100 is, hands down, the best investment I have made in a long time. from Amazon.com
