Canon FS100 An Excellent Camcorder I purchased the Canon camcorder some 4 weeks ago and am amazed at the quality both of the camera itself and the results it produces. It is very simple to use, gives superb picture and sound quality and is generally a "nice" piece of equipment to own. I would thoroughly recommend it to a beginner or an experienced camcorder user.
Pretty good! I got this camera a few weeks back, and I have to say that I've been delighted with the results. As has been mentioned before, the picture quality drops in very low light situations, and if you want to film on the highest zooms then you'll need steadier hands than mine(or a tripod)! But, all in all it's worked very well for me indoors and out. One of the appeals of flash memory for me is the ease of transferring video on to a laptop.

Grainy and lots of noice at low light I bought this camcorder because of the Canon's reputation for poor light performance, but I am disappointed, too grainy and lots of noice at low lit situations. Avoid this if you want to do filming indoors. good points are ,
very good quality at ideal lighting conditions
Zoom is very good( I can't find much quality difference at say 1X and at 45X).
Canon FS100 Recieved my FS100 yesterday,having fully charging the battery i have just started to use this camcorder and at just £227.00 all i can say is that this camcorder is fantastic.
The still photo's look good on the TV and also on my PC.
And better still is the record quallity in camcorder mode.
Up to press there is only one little niggle that i can find is that the battery door easily comes open at the slightest touch.
Over all i am pleased with this camcorder,and the record quality... more info
