This Camera is WELL worth it. Simply Amazing This is my third video camera, the previous ones both being sonys, one an older hi8 and a newer sony miniDV camcorder. I have sold both of them and purchased this new canon HF100 and love it. We took it on a family vacation to the beach and it took superb video. I have a mac and love editing and creating movies with IMOVIE. I haven't found anything about this camera that I dislike. The video and even sound quality is crystal clear.
You will not be disappointed. Don't get t...

Flash memory is the way to go This camera is amazing, small size, full Hi-Def 1080i, no worry about tape or disk, excellent image stabilizing, good zoom,
Would be nice to have a viewfinder so can save battery with LCD off.
Getting wind noise from mic, will check how to avoid.
Happy with purchase.

Great camcorder and a easy way to edit the video The video quality is great - vivid color and impressive sharpness, no matter in High Definition or Standard Defition mode. It's a few steps above my previous Canon ZR800 miniDV camcorder.
My computer is quite old with Athlon 1.99GHz and 1G RAM. Nero 7 Ultra could play the AVCHD file, but of cause only in slow motion and with stutter in audio. I am pleased with the factor I can convert AVCHD file to DVD in Nero 7 with my old computer, although it takes 30 minutes for 3 minutes of recor...

******MAC USERS BE VERY CAREFUL******** TO THE ENTIRE MAC FAMILY- if your buying this camcorder you will need several important things to be able to transfer video to computer.
#1- The most important!! An Intel based Mac(2006 models and up) Canon does not list that on their website for MAC OS X compatibility.
#2- Either iMovie 07/08 or Final "CUT" Studio.
The first phone call I made never mentioned the intel processor so after I purchased i-Movie I'm still not able to transfer video to computer with my iMac G5...

Best flash AVCHD out there but OVERLY EXPENSIVE! I've now owned 3 Panasonic flash-based AVCHD camcorders (including the very small HDC-SD9), but the video quality just wasn't there, especially in low light. Finally, this camcorder feels like a real HD camcorder, operating well in most all conditions, and coming close to the gold-standard, the Canon HV20.
Pros:
* Best AVCHD video quality out there today
* Decent low light capabilities
* Lots of connections / features
Cons:
