Product Description
The FS100 is one of Canon's first Flash Memory camcorders. In addition to the advantage of added recording time, Flash Memory offers quick response time, because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. The FS100's lower power consumption rate allows your battery to last longer. Measuring only 2.3" wide, 2.4" high and 4.9" deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry body. The 2.7" Widescreen LCD on the FS100 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. With the FS100 you get a powerful 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be sharp, clear and more true to life, as will your still photos. The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom on the FS100 extends the power of your zoom. In both wide angle and telephoto positions, there is virtually no loss in image quality throughout the range. The Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor is the next generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing technology to ensure optimal image quality for still images, even though video and still images have different color requirements. Focal Length - f=2.6-96.2mm Minimum Focusing Distance - 10mm (wide)/1m (tele) White Balance - Daylight, Tungsten, Auto, and Manual Programmed AE - Auto, Program, TV, Portrait, Sports, Night, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Spotlight, and Fireworks 2-channel Dolby Digital Audio (AC-3) 3.5mm Stereo Mini-jack Microphone Terminal Dimensions - Width 2.3 x Height 2.4 x Depth 4.9 (58x60x124mm) Weight - 9.2 ounces (260 grams)

 camcorder October 15, 2008
It's hard to imagine finding fault with this inexpensive easy to use little camcorder. It's not intended to make broadcast quality video, it will probably see many birthday cakes being blown out and for this it is perfect.
I find that the smaller a camera/camcorder the more often it will be used, and that's a good thing.
Great Camera!! October 14, 2008
We did the research, read the reviews and purchased the Cannon FS100 mainly for recording high school sporting events and family footage. We are thrilled! The kids say the picture is great, it is very easy to operate automatically, yet the capability is there to be creative and manually operate the camera. Download is easy, have yet to create a CD, but I expect that to go well too. The still photo is a bit grainy, but when you are in a pinch it works. The way I figure, if you want a good still, use your camera, this is for video! Oh, and the size is amazing! It literally fits in the cup of your hand, and light weight too! It starts and stops amazingly quick, picks up sound well and the zoom feature, although I have heard others complain, works well. We zoom in on the football action and do not have a lot of trouble with "wobble". Cannon delivers again!! (I have a 17 year old EOS Rebel that I love!!)
BEST small video cam I've ever used! October 14, 2008
I owned a video production studio for 8 years, and was using 3 Sony DVX-1000's for documentary work. Having been out of that biz for 11 years now, I was wanting something small and simple that still had good resolution and able to handle a Mic-in for narration or interviews. THIS FS100 WAS IS THE TICKET! I have had it for 2 weeks now, and can only rave about its ease of use, the clarity and sharp res from edge-to-edge, and the FLASH MEMORY! WOW! For those of you who have dealt with mini-DV tapes and mini-DVD disks...forget that mess! I got an 8GB Transcend SD HC(Class 6) disk for mine, and I get 2.75 HOURS of video time, then just pop in another and continue shooting! I pop the disk, put it in a reader on my computer, bring up Media Player Classic or Movavi Video Converter and play, edit or convert the video file from .MOV to whatever I want---NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER! The .MOV format creates a LOT of problems for most peeps that use the small-sized videocams, BUT if you use the proggies above, there is NO problem! It just works. Anyway, for you YouTubers...THIS is a kick A** videocam and will give you some of the BEST FOOTAGE you've ever seen! Oh, and the shock is that this cam is literally THE SIZE OF A BEER CAN!! It slips into my front pocket with no problem! I carry it everywhere now! And the battery---I haven't had a problem with battery going dead on me prematurely...shot over 2 hours the other day and still had PLENTY juice left for more footage. There is an on-screen battery meter that is highly accurate. Audio meter, too. I thought I would have to buy another battery...but not with it performing like it is now. I cannot say enough cool stuff about it...so give it a shot! I think I'll get another one, but this time get the FS10 so I have BOTH a built-in flash drive AND the extra pop-in flash drive as an option.
exellent October 13, 2008
exellent, no problem at all, simple take the video format, chage to mpeg, then burn with any recorder.
thanks
Very pleased with Canon FS-100 October 11, 2008
Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 48x Optical Zoom
I was looking for my first camcorder because we had a baby and I wanted to capture special moments. I'm pretty happy with it! It's very lightweight and the memory is not too expensive for it. It doesn't work so well under low light conditions (putting him to bed, for instance) but all in all a pretty good experience thus far and connects directly to my TV and computer.
