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.

portability for my needs, no, but for home movies' yes.Jun 26, 2010
holy ghost of the trinity! What is up with the price of this thing! I do NOT remember paying half a grand for mine back in '07! I originally bought it for home movies of recreational entertainment(making music videos, selfmade scif- dramas ect) but lately I use it as an intereor security camera. It is great for both purposes. It is clear and odviously has night vision and awesome audio for that purpose. you can hook it to a PC for perfect sound can monitor your doorways and driveway when you are away or in the back yard with your front door wide open awaiting unwanted "houseguests". I can leave my home unattended when on a breif trip down the block to the "7/11" NOT that anyone with comon sense should just leave their home open to the wolves for longer a trip. It works mainly to monitor my pets and my stuff while I am away and ADT can't do everything, I let the cams take up the slack. the current price is rediculous, people are way to pround of thier cams! so I won't be buying another. the orignal retail for mine was maybe $300 tops! good greif! I've seen more comon sense in home owners "selling" thier homes for 3x the worth(the fochers!) who is selling these tihngs! cuz it aint retailers! I am very offended at the price on this website by 3rd party "sellers"! VERY OFFENDED!

 Canon FS100 - Great for amaturesFeb 16, 2010
I got this FS100 because I wanted a camcorder. Before, I had a Kodak digital camera, and the only feature the video setting had was on/off. No zoom, no white balance, no nothing. So, this camera seemed decent, I got it for a good price, and I was super happy with it. I still am, mind you, but it does have it's cons.
Pros: It's small, which is nice. But it's hard to keep steady when zooming. Video quality is OK for internet videos, but on a TV it might look sharp. But I've used this for a few years now, and got some great footage. The battery life is really great, but for long shoots I normally plug it into the wall and feed off the electricity. I have an SD card (which is better then DV tapes) and it can hold 3+ hours of straight video. Useful when recording a speech or something.
Cons: The camera names the videos randomly. It names the videos something like "Video1 to Video10" then "VideoA to VideoZ" and then "Video1A to Video10Z", it's really random. So when you want to put your videos in order, it's really hard. If you use the disk that comes with it, it re-names all of them in order (but, I lost that CD) which is super nice. Video quality is not HD, and picture quality is like something on a cell phone. My cell phone takes better pictures then this does!

 customer service in Virginia intercepts Irvine West CoastFeb 08, 2010
I read about others having a lens fade to black problem, and sure enough. I get Irvine repair center's ok, then 2 weeks later, no camera, and then someone in virginia is pissed off I ever was able to buy it after saving money out in Palm Springs summer last year, and that the seller sold me a blue one. She wants it and wants to keep it herself! Everything about this product was weird, including the serial no., and retailers pulled it off as soon as returns came through, and very few FS200 in retail if at all, all due to this lens which is "hot," meaning they put it out on market without final ok, and that's why the followup from virginia reflects it. The lens itself I found better HD in Samsung now, which is a great change. Sony's a bit too F22 for me, and you want that softer look at times. The 16:9 is a bit incompatible with most computers and programs, and therefore again, you question why the serial no. on the camcorder needs to adjust to 808 for the first 3 numbers like the other Amazon customer said before my purchase of this product. I'm now selling for parts, but $337 includes the warranty, and Canon reneged, and so like their 35mm without the lens, it's only worth ony $27 on reseller's market, just like Honda.
