    I love this camera
    rating

    I had one of the original JVC harddrive cameras and was so unhappy with the picture and the cumbersome transfer of data. I love this camera, the picture is amazing and the SD card portability is soooooo easy. I'm very happy with this purchase and recommend it to anyone looking for a great home owner vid cam.

    Best Camcorder, Amazing Picture for Traveling
    rating

    My husband and I ordered this camcorder from Amazon after researching a bunch. We're traveling around the world and wanted to be able to capture personal videos as well as youtube videos for our business. I have to say this camera blows the little flip cameras out of the water. It also takes great pictures so when you don't want to bring your camera as well it's so handy!

    We had a friend test it out for us during our wedding ceremony. We paid someone in Costa Rica to film our wedding professionally and the quality we got was grainy and really poor. Our friend used this camera and we were SO thankful, it saved our memories. We got the external fluffy mic for it which really picks up sound. Our friend played guitar for our reception and it was great to have this personal concert recording in great video and perfect sound.

    We use this video all the time for our youtube videos now and the sound is great for being outside and doing tours or even being out on the open water. We've used it to film dolphins, helicopter tours, sunsets, Polynesian dances etc. We will definitely be glad to bring it on our world trip to Europe and Asia later this year.

    The only thing is we want to get an extra battery for it, because it's nice to have just in case you forget to charge it. Cannot find a battery at a typical camera store. Looks like we'll have to order online.

    I highly recommend this camera for capturing your memories or doing business.

    Canon VIXIA HF S100 Replaces it ALL!
    rating

    LOVE this camcorder! Positives defeat the minor negative! No need to carry a digital camera Canon's VIXIA Replaces it all! Great Camera to capture all those precious memories of your children and important events! Whether your capturing in photo stills or movie mode, images come out in amazing high quality & HD. Only Neg is the battery that dies about 2 hours of straight run time but that can easily be fixed with a higher capacity one. (And it hasn't died out on me yet while i was still using it.)

    COMPLETELY RECOMMEND THIS CAM TO EVERYONE!

    I had originally bought JVC's Everio GZ-HM550 with Blue-Tooth. It was a problem right from the start. The screen broke on the first day of use and it's "fancy features" Were not ENOUGH to OUT DO the VIXIA HF S100. Canon is just way more advanced in their camera development & HD quality.
