Digital camera Review: Essential Add-On for Vixia HF10/100
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those add-ons that make you wonder how you managed without it. First and foremost, it adds *significant* coverage for landscape or group shots (and when isn't covering the scene important, anyway?) and still leaves a generous zoom of 8.4x. This isn't even a trade-off in my book. Another non-issue (for me) is the fact that it blocks the on-board light, which makes the scene look terrible (casts a harsh blue fringe) & should only be used in emergencies. Plenty of manual controls abound for control of low-light scenes, but that's for another review...
As a somewhat superficial "plus," it looks fantastic on the HF100. The lens is also substantial and completely integrates with the solid feel (and look) of the HF100. It does change the weight distribution of the camera to a noticeable extent, almost shifting it into a mid-size unit in terms of grip, feel and storage (for which Canon supplies a nicely done soft pouch that ties at the top).
The only potential negative is that it blocks the flash (unless you find the pronounced shadow/arc useful for artsy shots!) but I haven't yet found many shots that couldn't be dealt with using less extreme measures. This is a great purchase!
