    My goal is to produce instructional videos for the internet. My evaluations are with respect to that specific goal.

    I record in the lowest quality setting to keep file size small. I put the camera on a tripod and make good use of the remote; the screen needs to be swiveled to the front for the sensor to see the remote. At this lowest quality setting, it looks pretty good on my 4:3 32" Sony that I use for live monitoring and playback. I record in wide screen format.

    The compelling reason I chose this model was that it has a mic input. I mix a signal from a guitar, my voice, and a backing track, then go through a hand-built attenuator to take line levels to mic levels. Trying to do this without the attenuator requires the mixer to be run at levels too low to be monitored through headphones, at least on this mixer. That puts you much closer to the noise floor of the mixer too, so an attenuator is highly recommended. Just make a voltage divider out of two metal film resistors in series: I used a 10K and a 100 ohm for a -40dB reduction in voltage.

    The Canon software seems more for image management. I tried to install it, but when I connect the camera, my PC configures it as a disk drive, bypassing the camera drivers altogether. I can't seem to find the driver files on the CD to install them manually, so I haven't used it. I don't think I'm missing much.

    The included video editing software was good enough for my needs based on experience burning DVDs from existing movie files in various formats I had on my hard drive. I have not yet edited movies made with the camera with this software. The camera creates .mod files which I assume are MPEG-2 and can be renamed .mpg, but I have not yet done this personally. I have a hazy recollection of .mpg functionality being a time-sensitive trial with the editing software -- I neglected to make sufficient note of those details at the time I installed it -- I guess I'll find out if ability to work with .mpg ever expires.

    Because there are no motors, battery life on this thing is unbelievable. It's tiny for my big hands, but usable. It has manual focus and some ability to control exposure -- even shutter priority to make purposefully blurred video (or conversely, to make sure fast action gets captured with minimal blurring, light permitting.) Camera shake management is digital, not optical. It works fine for handheld shots.

    The wide angle on these cameras is always inadequate, and unfortunately there's no thread on the housing to add a lens -- a small addition to the design they definitely should have included. I think there's a third-party product that attaches to the tripod thread that provides a place to attach a supplementary lens.

    Still photos? If you see the Loch Ness monster and it's the only camera you've got, well, OK, use it. If you're actually planning to take photos as well as video, carry a decent P&S with you.

    I have bought Canon still photo digital cameras in the past because of the quality products that they make. I bought this video camera because I wanted to upgrade from my 10+ year old Hitachi Hi-8 camera to digital for easier burning. Although the Hitachi has been flawless, the battery life doesn't last long and converting to DVD was a time consuming event.
    The FS-100 took a little getting use to since it is much smaller than my last video recorder and the controls are obviuosly closer together. With somewhat large hands it was a little awkward at first but eventually got used to it. The picture quality is exc
    stabilizerellent as expected but shooting in low light was a little disappointing. Also, the image stabilizer (or lack thereof) doesn't help in the least for steady and smooth picture taking.
    If your going to rely on the manual included with the camera for downloading and burning your videos you're going to be greatly disappointed. The manual is worthless.
    This camera will do in a pinch but if you're serius about good quality video and ease of use you may what to spend more. If the image stabilizer was better I would have ranked this camera higher.

      Comments about Canon FS-100 Flash Memory Camcorder (Silver):

      I bought this as an inexpensive camcorder for a class project. Now I've been using it more than my Canon 40D! It's so small and lightweight--just too easy to snap photos and run short film clips. It was up and running right out of the box. I've only used the instructions once. I haven't had any trouble getting the offloaded files to run on the Vista version of MS Movie Maker after I run them through the SDcopy utility. For the money that I spent, I sure am happy with this camcorder.

        This is a very useful and easy to operate video camera. I have been using it for about a month now and I am pleased with it. The only drawback that I see is that still picture quality is poor, but I didn't buy this camcorder for still pictures.

          Read the instructions on flight to Disney. Loved the versitility and compact style. Still learning how to use it's multifunctions, but the ride to getting better is fun.

            Comments about Canon FS-100 Flash Memory Camcorder (Silver):

            We have been pleasantly surprised with what this little camcorder has to offer so far. We've been looking for a replacement for a SONY Hi-8 camcorder that was on it's last legs for about 6 months. So which one should we get is the magic question? Geez, there are way too many camcorders out on the market!! After we determined what we wanted to spend, it helped immensely to narrow down our search. We're not turbo techies, and the price of HD cameras just seemed like overkill to us, but I wanted to make sure that I got a noteable brand with good reviews, and features that met our needs. Well, the F100 fit not only our budget, but it also fit our simple needs. While it doesn't have a ton of features like others in its class, we are simple people, so simplicity works for us!!Like many past reviewers have suggested, make sure you go into a local store and look at the camcorders in person. Overall, it does what we want and I would surely recommend this to someone who had budget and use in their minds!!

            I use this for home movies, nothing technical. This camera takes great video. The pictures are so-so so if you want anything nice make sure you are set to the highest setting. IF YOU HAVE A MAC - you must have iMovie 08 at a minimum to transfer directly from the camera. If you do not have iMovie 08, it will be a lot more difficult. I have not tried it but it will probably involve converting the files to a different format before iMovie recognizes them. You can take the files directly from the camera and copy to your hard drive also. They are .MOD files but can be renamed to .AVI and be played easily.

            The picture is quite good. I have no complaints for what I do. The start-up time is great when you need to catch something quickly. Even the digital stability isn't bad. The size is truely the winner. It is really as small as a pop can.

            The only drawback I have found is that there is no time stamping on the video. On analog, you had the date and time on the video as you played it back. I don't think that is possible on this camera.

            Comments about Canon FS-100 Flash Memory Camcorder (Silver):

            After surveying the field, I bought a Canon FS-100, which records to flash memory. I'm quite happy with it, but there are some quirks. I've used it to record on the mountain skiing, a demanding environment.

            On the plus side, it's small, light, and the flash memory is great stuff, fast and no issues in the cold (10 degrees) I'm using a 4GB card and this gives 2 hours of recording time in medium quality. If you download to any practical size to email or post on a website, even medium quality is way too high a resolution. The only place the difference shows is at home on your large screen high def TV. The zoom speed is controllable, a great feature, and the optical zoom goes to 38x. It's shaky at full zoom, but I've tried leaning on a ski pole and that helps a lot. Free hand in the windy bitter cold is the worst. In one opening scene I was able to zoom in on a skier 350 feet away and followed him for several hundred feet. The value of a good zoom for skiing shouldn't be underestimated. The auto focus gets confused in snowstorms, it sometimes can't find the subject at 150 to 200 feet. I've had zero issues with exposure problems in flat or bright light on snow. The battery life has been good, never ran out on the slopes. The lens is protected with an electric shutter style cover. The camera sits in the hand well, and the basic controls are easy to operate. In still mode you can snap off 1MP stills at 3 per second if you want, or individually.

            On the minus side, you do get what you pay for. If you watch the videos you'll see some multi imaging in higher speed action shots. (there is a setting for 'sports', but you don't have much time for button/menu fiddling when trying to capture powder day candid moments) Viewing using the LCD screen can be difficult outdoors with fast moving subjects, but also you learn some technique to compensate. The biggest minus so far is the awkwardness of the editing software. I've managed to get through it, but it's always cumbersome. There is no back function to switch modes, you have to close the application and restart. It hangs at a whim. Most of these issues go away or get better with smaller files. I had one 4 minute clip which was 50 meg, and getting that edited took forever. I've taken to doing the initial edit and then downsize the file with the Canon software, and then finish the movie with Windows Moviemaker. In order to transfer files to your pc, you have to have the proprietary AC adapter plugged in. This is annoying, and seems unnecessary.

            The other cameras I looked at were too crude you tube only types, had limited zoom, or had controls that I thought might be cumbersome with gloves on, or cost significantly more.

            Canon has the FS-200 coming out soon which is a small upgrade from the soon to be discontinued FS-100. The 200 has an external mike jack and comes in different colors, and maybe some other minor upgrade. Panasonic also has some interesting models in the pipeline for May/June.

            I'm happy with it and recommend it for the price point it's at. I like the functionality enough to put up with the lousy editor, some of which might be exacerbated by my pc. You can completely avoid the Canon editor by going in and changing the file extension types, and then just use Windows.

                  Haven't used video since the kid grew up and we needed something for reasonably good web presentations. This fits the bill ... easy to use, don't need the manual, format control, wide zoom range, good auto exposure, minimizes shake, etc. The only downside is to need to have the wall wart plugged in to download off the card (a lot of people use laptops while on the road, Canon).

                    We bought the camera to record our little baby girl and we LOVE it! It is lightweight, easy to set-up and use. Uses the same SD cards as our Canon camera so it was convenient for us. I like the pause feature, you hit the button and it pauses and hit it again and your right back to recording.

                      I purchased two of these cameras for a clinic I am involved with where we video record an umpire in 4-5 minute segments and then review the recording with the umpire for evaluation purposes. We need something simple that anyone could use. This camera worked perfectly. My only issue was that the card slot was in the bottom/rear of the camera as we need to pull the SDHC card out every time an umpire is recorded.

                      This is my first camcorder that I have ever gotten. I appreciated the price that B&H got for me.

                      The camera has done as well as I expected. It is definitely not high quality, but sufficient for me to practice video taking techniques. It works great with the 16 GB Kingston SDHC card that I bought with it.

                      Just got this and a lot of what has been said about it is true- you get a GREAT camera for the money. Small, good picture quality, well designed. Just be sure you throw away the horrible software that comes with it. Also be prepared to deal with MOD files. If you go here [@] you can DL a free transfer program that solves the file problem. In sum, the money is all in the product, not the supporting software or the manual. If you can deal with that, pick this up.

                            I bought it for our family trip to west coast and it's so small to even fit in my day-to-day purse! Very convenient and light-weight for a trip. It reacts very quickly whenever I try to activate it from standing by status. The video and sound quality are good for a casual home video user. I would definitely recommend it for someone looking for a small but neat camcorder. However, after couple days frerquent use, I do see the lens were not automatically capped when I put it on stand-by, which bothers me a little. This didn't happen often though. Another question is every time I turn off the machine, it displays the message "in progress, do not disconnect power source" which kind of confuses me....
