Customer Rating:      Summary: Pretty good! Comment: I got this camera a few weeks back, and I have to say that I've been delighted with the results. As has been mentioned before, the picture quality drops in very low light situations, and if you want to film on the highest zooms then you'll need steadier hands than mine(or a tripod)! But, all in all it's worked very well for me indoors and out.
One of the appeals of flash memory for me is the ease of transferring video on to a laptop. I can't comment on how it performs with a card reader, but the device itself imports the data quickly and with the minimum of fuss, although you have to keep the camera plugged in to the mains whilst you do it. I'd read that some people had had issues importing to iMovie on a Mac - no problems here for me.
I'm not too sure why Canon have bothered with the FS10 & 11 models as the price of flash storage makes them overly expensive, but that's their decision!
All in all, if you're looking for a very compact, lightweight, easy to use and cheap flash memory camcorder, you could do a lot worse than this little number.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Grainy and lots of noice at low light Comment: I bought this camcorder because of the Canon's reputation for poor light performance, but I am disappointed, too grainy and lots of noice at low lit situations. Avoid this if you want to do filming indoors.
good points are ,
very good quality at ideal lighting conditions
Zoom is very good( I can't find much quality difference at say 1X and at 45X).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Canon FS100 Comment: Recieved my FS100 yesterday,having fully charging the battery i have just started to use this camcorder and at just £227.00 all i can say is that this camcorder is fantastic.
The still photo's look good on the TV and also on my PC.
And better still is the record quallity in camcorder mode.
Up to press there is only one little niggle that i can find is that the battery door easily comes open at the slightest touch.
Over all i am pleased with this camcorder,and the record quality is on par with my Sony mini dvd like wise the still photo's
I have not printed any photo's yet,so i can't comment on that,but at this price,and size,in my opinion this is a good little kit
And the Canon FS100 is so easy to use i would recomend this camcorder
