Digital camera reviews of Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: CHECK OUT THE LOWEPRO LC1 CASE
Summary: 4 Stars
The LC1 is really a lens case but fits the hf100 perfectly. If your looking for a case that has enough padding and not bulky, check out the LC1.Digital camera Review: Cameras does very well in low light!
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera produces excellent visuals inside, no need for a flash or any other lightings, it adjust itself perfectly!Digital camera Review: Can't go wrong with this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
It works great! Excellent HD picture quality even when shown on my 100" screen. Worthy of note: When zooming in (full zoom) on a subject, there is a slight delay (5 seconds or so) before the auto focus kicks in. Just took this cam and lots of memory cards on an Alaskan cruise. The video is spectacular! The mic is quite susceptible to wind noise but it's no major issue. Be sure to purchase a MINI HDMI cable as it is not included with this camcorder. Expect the following from your SD Cards when set to highest resolution: 4 gig = 30 minutes video. 8 gig = 1 hour video. 16 gig = about 2 hours video. And, this very positive note: You can edit & burn this AVCHD video onto a regular DVD burner. You don't need to have a Blu-Ray burner! Then, the "regular" DVD will play back in 1080 HD on a Blu-Ray player! Is that cool, or what??!!Digital camera Review: Cannon HD movie camera==HF100
Summary: 4 Stars
Appears to be well made, sturdy camera. The difference in use between this and a DV tape presents more of an adjustment than I expected, but I think I will eventually be happy with the camera.
Issues I have with the design, software, and AVCHD
1. I miss a manual viewfinder
2. The supplied video editing software is worthless
3. I have Premier Elements 4 software and can't use it with the format
4. Finding the correct white balance can be difficult.
5. Downloading from the camera to the computer has aggravating problems.
a. power cord must be plugged in for the camera to download.
b. can't download to a secondary drive in the computer.
6. Can't download the movies directly from the SD card, but must go through the camera.
7. I wish it had the option to record in SD with 4:3 ratio.

Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Great little video camera. Its easy to use & takes great video. It was a little difficult getting the software to work with my computer, but after a little trial & error I found some programs that allow me to make great home movies.
