Digital camera reviews of Canon FS21 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder w/16GB Internal Memory & 48x Advanced Zoom - 2009 MODEL
Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been very disappointed with my Canon FS21. The drivers are still not up on their web site and I have not been able to find any articles. Specifically, it has just been a huge chore to download the video files (pictures work just fine) to my Vista machine. I do some IT work, so I set up an XP machine and thought I'd be done with it, but it is still a hassle.
Working with the software is most of my problem. There are several editing programs (video and audio) that came with the camcorder. That means I keep having to try the various programs when I tweak something to try to get it to work. I really with there was one program and then more importantly some help on the Canon (or the software vendor's) web site.
The picture for the videos is not as good as I expected either. I knew that its weakness was in low light from other reviews, but it is pretty unusable if it is even kind of dark (there is a little light, but it isn't enough to overcome the weaknesses). Also, it is just kind of pixelated in its highest def. I bought a Canon FS21 in December for $300 less that is just a better camcorder.
Amazon was great, I needed it right away and paid for the improved shipping and it came when it was supposed to.
My final complaint is that I went to the Canon web site and made a review just like this one (back then I gave it 2 stars overall) and they took it down. I promise I didn't swear or anything! That disappointed me a lot because I had used their site to choose it and I guess now I know why I ended up bummed about my purchase and their support of it.
