Excellent video quality ; fast focus ; compact, attractive, and comfortable design ;

Wind filter not as dependable as previous Canon models ; manual focus pretty useless ;

One of a pair of Canon's first flash-based camcorders, the Canon Vixia HF100, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.

"Great camcorder"

By mmedic123 (cnet.com)

Great pic quality. Image stabilization works well. Decent stills.

Takes getting used to. Cannot move it around fast while recording. Battery that comes with it has only 60-80 mins of recording time.

"Fabulous Liittle Camera"

By Losttsol (cnet.com)

Perfect family camera. No reason to not buy ... 

Easy to use. You'll be shooting HD video in 2 minutes upon opening the package. The video is superb for a sub $1000 amateur camera. The sound quality blew me away more than the video even. I've never had a camera with this level of sound clarity.

Bundled software is way low end. After playing around with it to make sure your camera works, go buy a good editing package. You will need it to do HD editing. Older software doesn't support HD content.
