Average Rating: out of 5 stars
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - works but has issues
Basically, it works as advertised. But with a few hiccups.

The image stabilization is poor. Combined with the light weight of the camera, it's hard to hold without jitter, practically impossible at maximum zoom.

As a comparison point, my old Sony Hi8 camcorder can handle even the vibration in a race car without any of it showing on the screen.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Quality is high and easy to use
The image quality is prety good, and it is very easy to operate. its weight is very light,I like it. The battery usually can last 80-90 minutes, if you want to take a long time video outside, you may need a spare battery.

However, speaking of reliability, the battery that came with the camera failed in less than one month of usage - it just refused to be charged.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Totally satisfied with the HF100!!
I was a little skeptical at first.This camera seems too good to be true while reading all of the specifications listed.But I really have to say that it lived up to all of my expectations.In a well lit area the picture is absolutely stunning--a sharp and true-to-life image.In darker rooms the picture doesn't get grainy at all from my experience.Obviously a darker room isn't going to be quite as stunning as a brighter one but I'm still impressed.The mic picks up wind but not to a distracting ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A little on the pricey side
Great camera but:this camera takes just wonderful video but:it seems that in order to view the pictures on tv you must first buy a dvd recorder hw100 for $177.00 and then in order to play this dvd you must purchase the blu-ray dvd player $299.00.i guess it was worth it but:i guess i would have bought these items anyway but:the camera just made me do it. if you are ready for high def?this camera is the way to go....
