Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon FS100 Flash Memory Camcorder with 37x Optical Zoom (Garnet Wine)
Customer Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this camera is brilliant. Got it new for $[...] here, free shipping, and have played with everything on it. I have to say I don't really get the complaints about how it downloads, etc. I did install the Canon disks, having had great experiences with the Canon softward in the past, both in speed and ease of use, and my movies download as .mpg files, not .mov. The editing software isn't "pro" quality, obviously, but why would you buy a $[...] camera for that kind of use anyway? It has some cool tools that are fun to tinker with, and that's all I need. If I can do a nifty little fade in and out with credits at the beginning and end, and throw in a voice-over once in awhile (which the included software accommodates), I don't need much else. It also will print stills from camera to printer, and burn videos directly from camera to DVD burner, recorder, or, get this...VCR!
It's perfect for hobby stuff, family videos, and actually a lot of higher-quality movies, too, especially if you read the directions and take advantage of all its little perks. The camera itself is super-easy to use, but if you wanted it even less complicated than it already is, there's an "easy button." Ha! It has a rocking zoom, usable in different forms, and it actually records very well in not just low light, but virtual darkness, as long as you're not 30 feet away from your subject, turn on the mini-light, AND you adjust the exposure to open the shutter longer...then it lights up like a Christmas tree! Again, if you want absolutely no visible grain and incredibly smooth transfer quality, you have 2 options: spend another $[...] or so, minimum, or turn on a light! Anything short of that, this camera has covered. It's about an inch or so longer than my hand is wide, so plenty tiny and fits perfectly in my palm.
I had some reservations after reading some of the negative reviews, but I am SO glad I blew them off. I haven't had any of the problems complained about by others, and you cannot beat the price on these things right now.
