Canon Vixia HF S100

Excellent video quality and performance ; nicely designed interface ; fast battery charging

No eye-level viewfinder ; expensive ; lens cover rattles when closed

An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, you may nevertheless pass on the Canon Vixia HF S100 because it lacks an eye-level viewfinder. It's probably a better buy than the identical--but more expensive, because it has 32GB built-in memory- ...

While Canon continues to offer compact AVCHD models, the Vixia HF20 and the HF200, the company's branching out with slightly more "pro" prosumer offerings in the Vixia HF S100 and the Vixia HF S10. If you're a video hobbyist or a pro looking for...

Canon Vixia HF S100 Review

By Mike Perlman

A new Big Bad Canon Vixia camcorder rocks our world. Read our in-depth Canon Vixia HF S100 review to see if it will rock yours too.

Excellent overall video quality. Solidly constructed. Tons of shooting features, including multiple frame rates

Canon could have made this thing a monster. Lots of blue noise in low light. Chomps through batteries

Staring us straight in the face is a massive Canon HD Video lens with a 58mm filter diameter, the same diameter as Canon's GL2 prosumer standard-definition camcorder from a few years back. This means a compatibility with advanced filters and lens ...

Canon HF S100

By Jeremy Stamas

The HF S100 (along with its sister model, the HF S10) is Canon's new flagship HD camcorder for 2009. The camcorder has large shoes to fill, as it represents an upgrade over our winner of 2008 camcorder of the year-the Canon HF11. Canon has packed ...

The HF S100 records exclusively to removable SD/SDHC memory cards, which are sold separately. Its upgraded sister model, HF S10, is essentially the same camcorder as the HF S100, but with 32GB of built-in flash memory (for an extra $200). With ...

The twins Canon camcorder Legria HF S10 RF and S100 feature videos in 1920 times 1080 pixels to get a lens with a maximum aperture of F1, 8, and zoom with zehnfachem and have a relatively large 1 / 1 ,26-inch CMOS sensor, the 8 megapixel dissolves. In add...

great video quality and performance, well designed interface, fast loaded ;

no viewfinder battery, expensive, lens cap clatters in the inactive state ;

The S100 is an excellent prosumer camcorder, but unfortunately no electronic or optical viewfinder brings. He is with the more expensive RF S10 identical - apart from his 32 GB integrated flash memory. If the replacement of the SDHC cards do not mind, you...

left of the zoom slider Canon brings the on-off switch, with the right hand only with difficulty to achieve.
