Canon FS100 Camcorder

Strengths: compact size, electronic lens cover

Weakness: menus could be easier to navigate, supplied software is functional but not great

We bought this compact camcorder to replace our Sony Digital 8 camcorder. We did not use the Sony as much as we thought we would. In hindsight I think it was because it was too big for us to pack around easily. That problem was definitely solved with the FS100. It is about the size of a can of soda. For our purposes (recording family video) this is a great camcorder. We are pleased with the video...

Nice compact camcorder

Strengths: Compact. Record on an SD card. Great video quality. Price.

Weakness: Software needs improvement.

This is a great compact camcorder. It is very light, but it fits nicely in my palm. It starts up quickly in a few seconds. Video is recorded on an SD(HC) card. Each scene of the videos are recorded as separate files. It is easy to transfer video files to a computer using the included software, and it is easy to burn a DVD by selecting scenes that you want. However, the software needs improvement....

Canon FS100

Strengths: Light weight, Great Zoom, Solid Body

Weakness: Not the best quality of movies even at highest setting

Overall the camera is a good unit with an exceptional zoom. I was very impressed with the zoom quality. I bought this as a replacement to my previous miniDV tape camcorder that its tape eject bottom quit working. We simply use it to record family moments so I'm not doing any kind of professional video recording. The video files are saved as .mod file.No program on my XP computer can view them. I...

Canon FS100 Review

Strengths: Compact, lightweight, priced right, mic jack.

Weakness: No .avi, no firewire, no lens adaptability, no viewfinder, no separate battery charger, hokey third party software.

I am very disappointed. For my application, all I need are .avi files. Even all the old cameras are capable of this very clean and common file format. Thought I would save time not needing to capture video anymore, but now it takes even more time than in the past. I will have to go back to tape or a different brand. Cheesy software is included with no file conversion capabilities.

Canon FS100 (silver)

THE GOOD: Compact, attractive design; mic input. THE BAD: No optical image stabilization; ineffective wind filter; no headphone jack; modest video quality. THE BOTTOM LINE: Convenient, well-designed camcorders that look pricier than they are, models in the Canon FS series--FS11, FS10, and FS100--nevertheless deliver typical budget video in line with their budget price tags.
