 It works nice August 4, 2008
After reading so many reviews and articles, I chose this model. The video quality is good when the light is good (outside), the indoor performance is so so. If you are looking for one working nice indoors, try some other model. Otherwise, it is a nice selection. It is very light and won't a burden if you travel. The quality of the display screen is not so good.(medium resolution) not very fine. you can see the small dots of pixels even. Overall, a good toy. FUN
 "Five Stars" for this purchase. August 2, 2008
The features I wanted at a great price. Product is sized right and well featured. Overnight delivery was perfect.
The video camera you have been waiting for! August 2, 2008

HF100 is the best choice for home HD. Buy a 16GB class 6 card. I bought the Canon burner that goes with the camera and love it. Take the disk from the burner and put it in the Sony Blueray player and watch great homemade HD. Spending extra for the HF10 with built in memory did not make since to me but what ever turns you on. Camera starts up very fast and ready to shoot in seconds. Went to a fire works display and recorded them and was very pleased with results.
Excellent HD camcorder for the price August 2, 2008
this canon HD camcorder rules! build quality, video and audio quality as well as feature list are all excellent. a camcorder like this would have cost $20,000 10 years ago (if tech. possible).
here a few observations:
i found the second highest resolution setting to be more than adequate (1400x1000 or so) for most projects. the 24fps mode may be of value to some, i found the footage shot in this mode to lose some clarity and presence (which may be the intention)
i have macs in my house. no problems importing footage into imovie, final cut express. i understand that in the windows world the avchd format is not quite supported that well yet, but the product comes with 2 cdrom with software that i assume do the job. just understand that you cannot hook up the camcorder to a computer via the included usb cable and just download video files for immediate playback. the sofware on the computer extracts the footage in the desired resolution from the acdhd files!
low light resolution is not great but not bad either. all consumer camcorders struggle with this and even news reporters with their really expensive gear work with extra lighting.
i personally find the coke can shaped camcorders a bit more awkward to hold and operate than the pistol shaped ones.
love the fact that there are no tapes to insert or rewind, no non standard mini dvds to buy, etc. even the cheap 4gb sd card gives me plenty of recording time.
HD me August 2, 2008
All I can say is wow. Great movies for the money and Im never going back to any other format unless its better than HD. Small lite and easy to use.
