Canon HF100 User Reviews

Very pleased

I have a Sony DCR Vx2000 for about 4 years. It was so heavy that I haven't used it for more than few hours. This camcorder gives better video quality with good light and is very usable even in low light conditions. I was able to burn an AVCHD disk using...

Worth every penny!!!

I recently purchased the Canon HF10 and wanted to give some thoughts for any perspective buyers. First off the video quality is excellent. I took some video indoors at low light and then took some outside where it was a sunny day. Both scenes played ba...

Rather dissapointing

I bought this recorder, not from Amazon. I frankly do not see the difference between my "not so high definition" camera and this one. I do not think the noise reduction technology is works. It is a marketing gimmick. The picture is noisy under low light c...

EXCELLENT

I can't speak to the tech side of the camera, in the end it's about, does it do what I need it to do at the price I'm willing to pay? After reading and reviewing 102 cameras (yes I did), I was more confused than ever. I finally I had to admit my short com...

Good video but

I used this camcorder on several occasions. It's small and lightweight which is a good thing and bad thing. It's bad because it's a lot harder to get a stable picture without shake. Fortunately, for what I record, I place the camcorder on a tripod and let...

Best of the AVCHD Camcorders

I spent a very long time researching small SD based high def cameras and ended up choosing the Vixia HF100. This after owning a Panasonic SD3 for a brief period last year. After a full weekend playing with the HF100 I am quite pleased with my decision....

Great camcorder, poor software

5 stars for hardware, 1 for software I had this camcorder and a canon HV20. The HF100 a much better camcorder in several ways that are important to me. 1) Tapeless - that means I can transfer to computer a lot faster and earlier. 2) Responsive - little...

Listen

I've done more research on mass-marketed high-definition camcorders than any person with a job really should. After weeks of combing and considering the pros and cons of AVCHD vs. HDV, HDD vs. tape vs. flash, I decided on the HV30, since I was persuaded b...

Not perfect, but not too bad either

The HF100 is a good camcorder. It takes better photos than I expected, as Canon's camcorders generally take anywhere from terrible to almost acceptable photos, and the video quality is nice and sharp. The image stabilizer is wonderful, low light performan...

Great Camera but OIS is very sub par for this price range

This is a great little camera but the OIS (Stability) is really sub par compared to other cameras that are much older and cheaper. So if you want really steady video, you may not get it with this camera.
