Everything you could requisite in a camera.
Extensive camera!!! Has too many features & controls to list AND it comes with an Moderate BUTTON. The easy button puts the camera on full auto. All you have to do is peak and shoot.If you are a real video phobe you can make all sorts of adjustments to do reasonable about anything you want. If you are an amateur with the easy button you can shoot great videos. If you are more militant you can tweak the video in many many ways. I am thrilled with this camera.

Skilled family documentary camera, not so much for wannabe film makers.
I had HF10 for almost partially a year, and I must say I know most of the pros and cons of this camera. I've studied it back and forth and tried to take out what this camera truly offers.

Pros: Lots of manual rudder (shutter speed, aperture, exposure, frame rate (24p, 30p, 60i)) Mic out seaport, Easy to use interface, Good zooming control. Plenty of play for AVCHD format.

Cons:
Now, Cons I'm listing might be more specific than Pros, but it's only because I have expected a lot from this camera.
1. Inappropriate manual focus control.
A small jog lever on the left of the separate is the manual focus controller. Newer models have a small site attached to the front of the camera nowadays, but this control is very inaccurate and pointless.
2. Sharpness of image. I was very surprised to see how the picture looked very bad when I played back on my computer. Lots of ghosting, indistinct edges, and Not-so-vibrant color. the LCD on the camera makes everythinng look so satisfactory and beautiful, however the actual result on the computer monitor is quite the contradictory.
3. Ghosting, ghosting, ghosting.
When I would lacuna at any moment during a filmed video, a heavy ghosting occurs. This can be solved by de-interlacing, however the handle is very complex and a typical user would not know what to do unless they really cotton on to the logic of encoding... Plus AVCHD is a compressed record format, so when it's uncompressed, the file size is humongous (18 sec cutting was 45mb in AVCHD, uncompressed was near 500Mb.)
4. Weirdness hidden behind the composition rate.
Now, when you film regardless of which option you choose on the camera (24p, 30p, 60i) when it shows up on the computer, it will always show as 29.97fps. This is due to the AVCHD style's nature that it records under the frame rate you choose, but overwrites as 29.97fps. A "pulldown" wishes to be done in order to truly extract what you've filmed... Quite nuisance in the butt, I must admit.

This is all I could think of so far. If you have any questions about the camcorder, feel unburden to reply and I will try to answer.

Safe camcorder with bad user manual
I'm opportune with this camcorder. Gives impressive video quality. It's also good for still photography if your digital camera battery-operated dies. I did it sometime & I can say picture quality is too impressive. It does not have good let one's hair down filter. Its not too bulky but also not too compact. Lastly, downloading still pictures to computer is adamant as we don't do it regularly and the manual does provide steps in detail. Its frustrating. Whole a good camcorder.

Excellent little camcorder
So far I definitely enjoy this little camcorder and its features. Its picture quality is very great and it has a lot to offer. The only thing is that I do not yet have a blue ray player so the pictures that I view are only DVD grade. The one negative issue is the bundled software that goes with it. The Imagemixer 3 has some flaws predominantly when trying to create a movie with effects. If you include a title on your Imagemixer 3 lob, the system will not save the project. I wish Canon would find better software. Also be aware that when you put your pictures on DVD make sure it is a DVD-R disc and NOT a DVD+R disc. It doesn't work in that constitution. It took me about 2 hours to figure that out but when I called Canon, they helped me a lot. Canon's tech put up with was very helpful. All in all, this is a nice little camcorder

keen camera, terrible software and instructions
This camera is reasonably effortlessly to operate and makes great video but do not buy this camera unless you are in fact computer and software savvy. The "pixela" software that comes with the camera is disgusting! It is far from intuitive to figure out how to use it and the directions suck. I haven't been able to assume out any other product that works for getting the video clips onto my computer. I'm so frustrated with this possession that it is now mostly a very expensive paperweight.

Notable little bag.
This camera anyhow works very well with my Canon HF S100. It has adequate padding and compartments for additional accessories. If anything, the case is a bit bigger than it needs to be, but that is not a bad thing.

What are the measurements of this bag favoured & out Please!
I attraction the suggestion at the end of the description of this item to measure your camera to see if it fits this bag. Then no where do they take an oath you the measurements of the bag inside or out. I read through most of the review in hopes that someone might have given that intelligence. THey didn't.

I'm looking for a bag to replace my favorite tan model that does have this enlarge sided zipper opening because I gave it to my husband two camera sets ago. I can't de facto ask for it back but so many times I wish I could. So I keep looking for the same or similar bag. I wish they would make more in tan in preference to of the basic blacks too. If you make a review of this bag in the near future please add the sizes it would be constructive.

I'm off to find one that does just that.

Accomplished video quality, battery life not so much
I've purchased this camera because I use my car at pursue day events and wanted a camera that I could mount to the inside of the car to shoot HD footage of high-carrying-on driving offense that I attend. This camera is not a good choice for that just because it gives a lot of shake and it shows up in the footage. The still camera is great and the flash is profound. The video looks good if the cameras hand held or on a tripod, but if you move the camera around too fast, you get a little bit of ghosting in the images. Like any video camera it will gain in value and use use as much light on the subject as you can get. I do recommend it because I had a hard drive based camera previous to to this and it was a battery gobbler and ran hot as hell. This one runs cool and while the battery is not mammoth, it's much better. I also like the tiny SD cards because they're cheap, fast and lenient to handle. I also purchased a wide angle lens adapter which screws in all honesty in, works great. And I also purchased a depth of field (DOF) adapter which allows me to get a very adequate film look. Again that screws right into the threads on the front of the camera. I like it and will keep on to buy the brand.

Request it worked better in low light
I intended this camera for its portability and ease of use, but I just wish it had a better image in low light. The picture looks pretty grainy when filming in low disembark - kind of disappointing as we bought it to record our first child. Most of children's primeval life shots are in low light! Overall, it's a great HD camera for the penalty.

Difficult Camera
I've been a Canon drug for many years. I've owned three Canon DSLR models, and been very pleased with them.

So upon needing to buy a video camera, I did my scrutiny, wanting an HD model that was completely Flash-memory based. And I was pleased to find Canon's HF100 was the most appropriate of the bunch.

I have not been disappointed in the image quality. But I've encountered two huge issues:

1) In due course after my 1-year warranty expired, the zoom switch on the camera started malfunctioning. If formerly larboard alone, the camera will eventually start slowly zooming in without touching the rechannel. On one shoot where I left it recording on a tripod, it zoomed in and ruined the recording (of a once-in-a-lifetime naming, nonetheless).

2) The software that ships with the camera is seventeen flavors of odious. It is poorly-crafted, poorly-translated-from-Japanese crapware that is hideously ill-behaved to use. BUT, because Canon records to a proprietary format, there's no way to get data off the camera without using the software.

As for the zoom rechannel, I am currently negotiating with Canon to see if they will honor the warranty even though it has expired. However, I had to send my 40D DSLR back to the machine shop when the shutter failed soon after its 1-year warranty expired, and Canon wouldn't budge on the patch up costs. So this is two Canon products within a year that have failed on me. I take meticulous care of my paraphernalia, and any hardware of this caliber should NOT fail as these have.

So, for what it's worth, I'm your cautionary tale.

I may be done with Canon. It may be age to switch to Nikon.

Precisely bought a used HF100
As my denominate says, I bought a used HF100 from a private seller.
He included in the transaction:
* Canon WD-H37 II Wide Conversion Lens
* HF100 Remote control
* All the required cables + an HDMI hawser for the HF100
* 3 extra Canon OEM batteries
* 16GB SD card
* Canon CG-800 Lithium Ion Battery Mount (not the charger with the cord)
* Hoodman HD-300 Video Camcorder Hood
Not a bad dispense at all for a few bucks over $400!! And the HF100 performs like a champ. The whilom owner took real good care of it. No blemishes at all on the HF100.
I've only had it a few natural life and I've shot some test vids. Converted the mts files using TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress. Results are very high-minded, but takes a while for the conversion to complete.
I may have given the HF100 5 stars, but I've only had it a few existence. I will reevaluate my rating when I have more experience using it. The only cons that I have now are less than desired battery-operated life and the time it takes to convert the mts files... but I knew about the deliverance requirements prior to purchasing. So no big deal. If you want true HD from a camcorder, you demand to figure in the time required for the conversion process prior to purchasing a Canon HD camcorder. Be convinced your PC's guts can handle that conversion process without hiccups. And for true HD to be viewed on your profoundly video setup, be sure to have a BlueRay burner and player, and of without a doubt a TV that can view HiDef.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After using this camcorder for almost a month, I've increased my initial rating from 4-stars to 5-stars. I really like this camcorder. I've done indoor and open-air videos and I've learned how to use this camcorder in the various lighting environments and get mammoth results.

Mammoth Case
For me, this chest was the perfect sice. It was compact enough to be easily portable and able to put in other suitcases, but large enough to be able to hold my camcorder (a Canon HG21), an extra freestyle, all the cables needed to connect the camcorder to a TV and/or computer, the external powersupply for the camcorder, SD cards, attack charger, and a few more odds and ends. The material and zippers seem well made. The padding should also be enough for any drops from waist apex (haven't tested that and hope I won't have to).

The only complaint I have for the case is that there is a double velcroopening for the pipeline compartment that you have to undo along with opening the zippers to get to the camcorder. I understand that this was deemed inevitable to be able to use the carrying handle on top without the bag possibly openin while being carried, but it is a not much annoying to have to fuss with it every time you try to get into the bag. It is minor enough a concern for me that I still will keep my rating of the bag at 5 stars .

This is a characteristic lens that works as advertised, and is a great buy for the money. It also gives my camcorder a "eat one's heart out-barreled", classy and elegant look and feel that I really like. Shipping was attached, vendor sent tracking number. There were no problems at all.

G. Shaw is redress
In quick, I agree with G. Shaw: Holy cow.

As soon as the lens arrived I spun it onto my HF-S100 and tried a few shots indoors and out.

It takes a another or two for focus to settle in. There is some lens flare when shooting outdoors, which is no catch unawares. If flare proves to be a problem, the lens has 62mm front threads; perhaps a hood is handy.

Reviewing footage on a 720p HDTV via the camcorder's HDMI out, I see no signs of chromatic idiosyncrasy. Barrel distortion is noticeable, but after all it is a 0.5x wide angle. Distinct and detail look great.

Initial impressions: This is a really good behave, and I wonder if DB ROTH make a comparable telephoto :)

Saintlike Cow, this lens rocks.
Initially I was skeptical about any lens that could outlay $20, but I figured, even if it's a scam, I'm not out much.

The first thing that struck me was the weight of the sentiment. I have a traditional photo background, and I'm used to using cameras and optics that you could be sick through a wall without damaging them. We're talking the old school 100% manual metal standard cameras. Lenses for these suckers were HEAVY. If you've ever tried to save some shekels, you have probably encountered some cheap knock off lenses with plastic or some other alternative documents making up the bulk of the product.

This lens is totally metal and magnifying glass. Granted, this doesn't help your arm much if you're going hand-held, but I've found that even with the strain of a light, mic, and extra lens, the Canon HF S10 is still lighter than most pro model video cameras, or even consumer pointer-helds from just a few years back. Also, if you've got a shoulder mount, or tripod, the impact doesn't really matter.

When I pulled the lens out of the case and proper looked through it, I knew that I had found a GREAT deal for the money. This lens is of a high supremacy manufacture with no visible distortions or defects. It operates as intended giving about 15-20% especially space on screen than the HF S10 alone. That's pretty much all I need.

Only bad part is that it covers up the auto concentrate sensor. Still the camera is able to use the AF, without much difficulty. Additionally, coming from an old discipline background, I tend to use MF quite often, so either way it's not a big deal.

All in all, I'd recommend that you give this lens a drink. You aren't going to find ANYTHING in this price range of this quality, and remember - it's only 20 bucks; you can scarcely eat a meal for that these days.

Skip lunch, and try the lens. ;)
