Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Canon's compact FS100 records high-quality video to SD™ memory cards. This camcorder's small, lightweight size makes it perfect for taking with you wherever you go — whether you're on a fast-paced vacation or a night out on the town with friends.

Easy-to-use controls and helpful extras
The FS100's versatile features help you get just the right shot. A powerful 37X optical zoom lens gives you a clear view of distant subjects. The advanced image processor provides accurate colour reproduction, so you get vibrant, realistic videos. Image stabilization minimizes blurred footage that can result from a shaky hand. For more professional-looking footage, use the selectable level and grid markers on the LCD to frame your subject and keep your shot even with the horizon.

Capture cinematic widescreen images
Canon's 16:9 recording mode produces crisp, detailed, wide-format home movies — great for folks who have a widescreen TV and want their videos to fit perfectly. Compose your shots on the FS100's 2-11/16" widescreen LCD. You can connect this camcorder directly to a TV via its audio/video outputs, or use the included USB cable to transfer your footage to a computer. Use Canon's included software to copy and edit your footage — it even lets you create web-friendly videos for uploading to video-sharing websites.

Great Value! October 28, 2008
Reviewer: Ohannes from New Jersey  
I was looking for a camera to mount to my harness bar in my car for track sessions.  I wanted something with good exposure, anti-shake and recording speed adjustments/settings.  Once I decided not to go the HD route, there were really only a couple cameras that were worthy competitors in this segment, one of them being the FS100.  After speaking with the well-informed Crutchfield rep, I decided to purchase one.  This is a GREAT camcorder right out of the box!! The menus are easy to use, and I needed NO "trial and error", it worked perfectly the first time out!  The software takes a little learning, but the videos download easily and playback/storing are simple.  I definitely recommend this to any novice/intermediate camcorder consumer looking for a first or replacement unit.  Even the still pictures are pretty good for "in case you need them" images.

The camera is very small and light.  It is simple to setup, requiring no manual review to use the most basic functions.


 
Great Camera for the Money September 17, 2008
Reviewer: Brett from Jupiter, FL  
This has been a great starter camera for me. It's small, easy to use for both recording and playback, and has great battery life. Not to mention it looks like a high price camera and definitely is not.

My only complaint is that at times low light footage has been a little grainy. Also, don't expect to get HD video quality, even though I knew I was not buying an HD camera, I have been spoiled with technology and was a little disappointed at the video quality on a large HD tv.  

All around it's a great camera for the price and as usual you can trust Canon to give you a quality product.
