Description
The FS100 is one of Canon's first Flash Memory camcorders. 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. Focal Length - f=2.6-96.2mm Minimum Focusing Distance - 10mm (wide)/1m (tele) White Balance - Daylight, Tungsten, Auto, and Manual Programmed AE - Auto, Program, TV, Portrait, Sports, Night, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Spotlight, and Fireworks 2-channel Dolby Digital Audio (AC-3) 3.5mm Stereo Mini-jack Microphone Terminal Dimensions - Width 2.3 x Height 2.4 x Depth 4.9 (58x60x124mm) Weight - 9.2 ounces (260 grams)
Customer reviews for 'Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 48x Advanced Zoom (Silver)'
«Great Camcorder, Tricky Files»
Ok, I am writing this small review to people who are like me who look everywhere for the lowest price on an item and live and die by customer reviews. This camera is great for everything it does but I am mainly focusing on the file problem. I read at least 100 reviews on this item from professional sources and customers until I finally purchased it. Anyway the files come in as .MOD files which need to be converted into .MPG or .AVI or something else that can be read by your editing software. After trying multiple FREE converting software, I found the easiest and fastest one was sdcopy. It did not degrade the quality of the video and allowed choice to convert into 4:3 or 16:9 which is very handy.

«Canon FS-100, Excellent tool»
I have been most impressed with this camera. It is easy to operate, quick to record, tolerant of user shortcomings, and gives good picture and sound. The control position and activation are well thought out and the camera has a secure feel when held. I have used this around the house, local travels, for documenting events, and on a long cruise. The battery life is excellent. The 8gb chip records a large amount of footage. The optical zoom is impressive and clear but a steady hand or tripod is best used. I considered the FS-11 with built in memory but for the cost difference went with this model. So far quite pleased. Lack of a viewfinder has not been an issue. Seeing the view screen in bright light can be difficult, but can plan around it, point-and-shoot has worked for me. The Canon has done well in low light, and has the automatic lens cover closing compared to the new Sony 30gb HD mini-cam my wife uses. I think it outperforms her camera, but that is a subject of debate, though I see her borrowing the Canon more frequently.

«Best Camcorder Out There»
This is the best camcorder on the market. Has great grafics and has an extremely reasonable price. It will connect to Mac's and iMovie with ease. This is one of the only camcorders i could find that would do that. It also can connect to PC's. If you have a mac, don't bother downloading the software they give you, but just use it with iMovie. It has amazing zoom and after one day of owning it i had already made a great video. Don't waist your time with other lame camcorders. This is the best one available.
