Reviews of the Canon FS100 (garnet wine)

CNET Review
The Good: Compact, attractive design; mic input.
The Bad: No optical image stabilization; ineffective wind filter; no headphone jack; modest video quality.
The Bottom Line: Convenient, well-designed camcorders that look pricier than they are, models in the Canon FS series--FS11, FS10, and FS100--nevertheless deliver typical budget video in line with their budget price tags.

Review Summary: There's much to commend the FS100 - not least its typical retail price here in the UK. If you're new to this whole camcorder thing and you're a bit bewildered by the choice yet you like the idea of recording to, and playing back from, a memory card simila
