Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 48x Advanced Zoom (Silver)

Excellent camera, compact size, and no tapes!! Every piece of recording is its own file, so it should make editing and splicing easy. Just what I was looking for to video my 2 year son.

We bought this camera in anticipation of the birth of our baby. He's not here yet, but we've been testing it out over the past couple of weeks. So far, we have really enjoyed using it.

The camera is tiny - probably a little larger than a soda can. It is very lightweight as well. We bought the Transcend 8GB SD cards and an extra battery from Ebay.

We have Vista and have had no problems reading the video files. We used Nero to create a DVD and it played in the DVD player with no problem! The video looked great on the television and we unknowingly recorded it on the medium resolution setting. I can't wait to see how it turns out on the highest resolution.

Great little video camera for outdoor use. So small it can fit in your pants pockets if you have the need. Inside video is acceptable, but not has good as other video cameras. For the price this video camera is very difficult to beat. I highly recommend it for the casual video user.

This camcorder is light and very easy to use. The resulting clips are beautiful and clear. My big problem is that I record specifically to make movies using MS Movie Maker and the format created by this camcorder (.mod) is not compatible with any of the movie making software that I could find out there. Only after a lot of work did I find a way to convert my clips to something I could use and there is some loss of quality in the process. I'm okay with it now that I figured out what I need to do but I'm pretty sure I'm going to move on to something else sooner rather than later.

it is easy to use. transfering video to PC is a breeze.
digital statlizer is of poor quality though. When zoom in, no matter how you hold your hand steady, the resulted video is shaky.
