Canon VIXIA HF100 High Definition Camcorder
Reviewed By Our Editors
Following the tradition of releasing products that surpass quality standards and technology innovation, Canon has developed the Canon VIXIA HF100 high definition camcorder. It is designed with a 12x optical zoom so that the videos are magnified but not blurred and pixelated. It provides Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) format recording with the ease and numerous benefits of flash memory. It works superbly with other mobile gadgets such as notebook PCs, MP3 players, PDAs and mobile phones. In addition, Canon has incorporated Canon exclusive features such as 3.3-megapixel full HD 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor and advanced DIGIC DV II image processor, superRange optical image stabilization, and instant auto focus. With a CMOS sensor, any device will have high noise immunity and low static power consumption. The DIGIC DV II image processor, on the other hand, was developed by Canon to bring optimal image quality for still images, even though video and still images have different color requirements. These features are included in this compact camcorder to bring the videographer in every user and help them capture life as it happens. The recordings may be saved in MPEG-4 and AVCHD (HD) formats, while audio are in 2-channel Dolby Digital .
The camcorder also features a 2.7-inch Widescreen multi-angle vivid LCD and a Canon 12x HD video zoom lens so users documenting an even from a good distance will still get great recording.
For first-time users, their first movie doesn't have to be a poorly-shot recording. With 24p Cinema Mode the camcorder enables the users to achieve a professional 'film-look' and change the frame capture rate to 24p (recorded at 60i), which provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film. The VIXIA HF10's cinema setting changes the color and tone of the recording.
Images and videos are captured in 1920x1080 pixels and are stored in the camcorder's SecureDigital or SDHC memory card. To save memory and be able to record more videos, the VIXIA HF100 may compress the files in DPOF and DCF Exif 2.2 formats.
Aside from all these high-tech features, the camcorder is supported by a slew of features to help produce breathtaking video. These features include f/18 to f/3.0 aperture, white balance, 30p progressive mode and a Pixela ImageMixer software. This software allows you to organize, enhance, and share your videos, as well as transfer your videos to any computer and burn a standard definition DVD. It comes with a catalog system that maintains an indexed and catalogued file.
The VIXIA HF100 connects to a device via a USB mini-B port. It is powered by a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and comes with a battery charger.

This is going to sound like an odd question, but I would like to hear from someone who owns this camera.....when you shake the camera, and by shaking i mean a gentle shaking...do you hear an internal rattle? I returned the first one because of this without even turning the camera on....also because the box was damaged and there was hardly any protection inside the box....I tried to find the model in a retail store, and could not find it, but i did "shake" some of the other models and did not hear any rattling. The replacement showed up, and i can hear the same rattle. I really need to know if this is normal. I would not think a digit camera has too many moving parts that would cause this type of noise.
I love this camcorder...I did a fair amount of research before purchasing and found nearly 100% positive reviews of this camcorder. I am not technologically savvy, however. The cam is easy to use and the quality of the video is fantastic. I had a Samsung camcorder which was a real waste my money. The software with the Canon is not so hot; I wish there was another program that I could use, but, it is ok. I would definately recommend this camcorder to everyone.
Good Value

This is a great camera. I bought this along with a 32GB SDHC and have made some great movies. My only complaint is the battery life but with all these features and the quality it, thats to be expected. I will be buying the bigger battery pack soon.
Great camera for the money

This thing is a steal at this price -- added a 16gb card for $30, and I'm good to go w/ 2.5 hours of high quality recording. Picture looks amazing, especially outdoor shots.
And my battery even matched. Hurray!
