Canon VIXIA HF S100 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom Buy Now

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. The image quality is amazing. The photo quality is on par with my Nikon D50. It's tiny, I can carry it around in my old point&shoot camera case. The battery life isn't stellar, but if you get a Canon BP-827 Lithium Ion Battery Pack for Vixia HG 20/21, HF11/10 & 100 Camcorders, that problem goes away for good.

I record onto a 16gb SD card, and I've never found that I didn't have enough space to film an event. Just drop from highest quality to high quality-17mbps, and you can easily get 2.5 hours on a 16gb card.

The features on the camera are similar to those on a DSLR. You can adjust the white balance, ISO level, shutter speed, and lots more. Or just leave it on auto and have it work itself out for you.

The one major problem I found with the camera is that it has to be plugged into the wall in order to transfer video to a computer. Removing the SD card and plugging that into the computer directly won't work, because of the cryptic file structure. This is a bummer, since I wouldn't need to carry the power cable with me otherwise. Still, not enough to keep me from absolutely recommending this camera to everybody.Get more detail about Canon VIXIA HF S100 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom.
