ok for the money, but not great, (2008-10-04)

After using for 2 months on various family holidays etc I have now had time to download the result to my pc. The results are generally very good, albeit a bit grainy in low light. The problem I have with this camera is the very low resolution of still photographs. In fact don't bother they are rubbish. As such it meant I had to carry 2 cameras around. There lies the problem. My canon G8 takes excellent still photographs at 10 megapixels. and two video resolutions are included. The results of which are excellent but not widescreen. So my advice is buy the new canon G9 which is a far better still camera (chalk & cheese) but has widescreen video as well. All for around £300. My other problem with the f100 is the lack of a decent software suite. In fact virtually nothing but a photo organiser and the download driver for your pc.On a positive note the 45x optical zoom is excellent.

Wrong accesories advertised (2008-09-23)

Don'tt get the 208 battery or its charger- they're not for the FS100!You need the BP-808 battery and the CG-800E charger. I've just realised and have contacted Amazon to get it sorted out.

Incomplete (2008-09-23)

Unfortunately one star only but I'm sure the product is fine for the price.However, one of included cds did not contain an extra instruction PDF file. Obviously not the end of the world but see further on. I have not used the camcorder at all and returned for a full refund. This is not Amazon's fault I know and was only prompted by the terrible attitude of the Canon CS rep when I 'phoned them. She was both arrogant and patronising as well as not having a clue. Apparently they are going to contact me in a couple of DAYS! So add on some more time for them to possibly send a replacement cd maybe after I return the defective one?Another manufacturer for me hopefully with better customer service.

Nippy Little FS100 (2008-08-31)

I received my FS100 a couple of weeks ago and am more than happy. So small and easy to carry around this camera is ideal for holidays and trips out. Picture quality is very good outside but falls short of what I expected indoors. This camera struggles in low light condition leaving the picture dark and grainy. However! if your looking at filming a lot outdoors then this in the baby. I use a 8gb sd card which gives me lots of record time on XP quality and the battery life is great. Zoom is also great but if you have shaky hands then I would recommend a tripod if your looking at using it to its max.

Canon FS100 An Excellent Camcorder (2008-08-13)

I purchased the Canon camcorder some 4 weeks ago and am amazed at the quality both of the camera itself and the results it produces. It is very simple to use, gives superb picture and sound quality and is generally a "nice" piece of equipment to own. I would thoroughly recommend it to a beginner or an experienced camcorder user.
