Canon Vixia HF100 Review at LAPTOP Magazine
My review of the Canon Vixia HF100 digital camcorder was posted today at LAPTOP Magazine.
This is the first of several pieces I will be doing for LAPTOP, mostly focused on digital cameras and camcorders. I've been doing a lot of product reviews lately, both for LAPTOP and for Digital Camera HQ, and it has been a lot of fun playing with the gadgets.
I'm glad I'm of the age where I can still remember how large camcorders used to be. Trying to hoist one of those heavy, gigantic models on my 10-year-old shoulders was not easy, and has given me an appreciation for these newer, feather-light tapeless models, whose video quality is infinitely more appealing.
The HF100, like most things Canon makes, is pretty great. The 60i HD mode suffered from jagged edges (mostly when panning or in motion), but things soften up nicely in the 30p and 20p modes. It's expensive, but pretty soon you won't see anybody using those cheap MiniDV camcorders anymore. Camcorders like the HF100 are the future.
