Canon VIXIA HF100 AVCHD Camcorder is a very good High-Definiton camcorder, I have listed some positive reviews:
1. “The HF100 is a good camcorder. It takes better photos than I expected, as Canon’s camcorders generally take anywhere from terrible to almost acceptable photos, and the video quality is nice and sharp. The image stabilizer is wonderful, low light performance is all right, battery life is okay, and compression efficiency and quality is very good. Let’s get more specific.”
2. “Really great camcorder – definitelly the best in this range in the market! The camera itself desurves 5 stars. In addition to already mentioned excelent picture quality, lots of advanced functions and easy and intuitive to operate, I’ll add Power safe mode, which lets you having the camera ready in less then a second!”
3. “I use a Mac, and this works great with iMovie and Final Cut Express.I use a card reader to get the footage out of the camera – so I don’t have to plug in the camera to do it.Buy lots of batteries – I have three total – just enough for one 8 gig SD card. Also, make sure your cards are fast enough to work with this camera.The manual controls are a little awkward to get to – but – do give you manual control over focus and exposure – which are key – as well as sound.The camera is so small that it can be with you always. You could shot a low budget film with this. Ideal for multi camera setups. Why not film three angles for [$]?Plan to record critical audio separately – either a stand along digital recorder – or a wireless mike connected into the camera.Bottom line – I love this camera. When I compare the footage to my old analog days – I cry over all the detail I missed.”
