First of all I should have done this review with my camera if it had not been in use by an international broadcaster.
This camera is really one that amazes me every time.
It is easy to use for the beginner but also a semi pro can do nice things with it. A befriended director of an international broadcaster has used it already a few times and is still using it for recordings. Where the serious cameras too big (like in a giant Ferris wheel and on the roller coaster this camera does it all. Also in low light conditions it does what it needs to do.
Copying from card to Powerbook i use a card reader that came with one of the Sandisk cards I bought with it. It is a lot easier than connecting camera to computer and power socket.
Once you have set up your editing software it is really easy to do.
One thing: I recommend to get an additional battery to avoid disappointments whilst recording because of a flat battery. You can go for the Canon battery but there are also cheaper options available.
Oh yes, I of course bought a small camera bag as well to have it secure whilst on the road.
 Canon Vixia HF100 - Solid performance - Value for money November 11, 2008

You got to hand it to Canon to make a subcompact camera with all the bells and whistles of a much more expensive/bigger model. Even better - the performance of this camera is amongst the best I've seen.
Pros:
* Excellent HD recording performance in different resolution - You can change the mode based on space you have left.
* Fairly decent audio recording with decent ambient noise cancellation.
* Easy to use controls and modes(I never had to read the manual to figure out different operations..!)
Cons:
* Recording in SD cards is both a bane and a blessing - I recommend buying atleast a 16GB card with an external card reader - Transcend has a fairly decent one.
* Copying a 1GB movie(about 30 minutes in XP+ HD mode) takes a few minutes to convert into AVI or MPEG, after copying over the movie from the camera - I recommend backing up the movies often as SD cards are prone to failure
OVERALL: HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Search for a good price before buying it - Bought this camera after a lot of research - very pleased with performance

This is my first HD camcoder and first Canon brand after working with SD Panasonic. I am very happy with this camcorder, it is very easy to operate, the footage is excellent quality, it is small and easy to handle. I took 1 star off because of few things I think could be improved
1. It takes long time to switch between capturing photo and video. It often takes 15-20 seconds, which sometimes leads to lost opportunities.
2. The bundled battery lasts only about an hour and the supplied charger doesn't allow to charge it outside of camcorder.
3. I wish the captured photograhs had higher resolution, but even this way, I am very happy with them.
4. I wish there is a software for Linux to import and play (not necessarily edit) the footage. As of now the only way to import is to directly copy the .mts files and I haven't found a way how to play them on Linux (I used SageTV and HD 100 media extender to play them on TV with excellent results)

Canon VIXIA HF100 Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom I am very pleased with this camcorder and expect to be using it very much with 5 young grandchildren. I especially like using flash memory with no moving parts. Excellent response to my order.
