The Canon's FS10 Flash Memory camcorders offers quick response time, because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. Press the record button and your FS10 starts recording video faster than you've ever seen before. The FS10's lower power consumption rate allows your battery to last longer. Measuring only 2.3" wide, 2.4" high and 4.9" deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry body. The 2.7" High-Resolution Widescreen LCD on the FS10 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. Designed specifically for HD, DIGIC DV II ensures optimal image quality. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction for video images that are crystal clear. You can shoot five 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy faster processing of your images to both the FS11's internal memory as well your memory card. It also helps lower power consumption for longer battery life. The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom remains in constant motion through the entire extended zoom range. There's practically no loss in image quality through an extraordinary range of zoom, so you'll get good, clear shots. The FS10 offers you more flexibility to get just the shot you need. With the FS10 you get a powerful 1.07-Megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be sharp, clear and more true to life, as will your still photos. Focal Length - f=2.6-96.2mm Zoom Speed - Variable/3 Fixed Zoom Speeds Minimum Focusing Distance - 10 mm (wide)/1m (tele) Programmed AE - Auto, Program, TV, Portrait, Sports, Night, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Spotlight, and Fireworks White Balance - Daylight, Tungsten, Auto, and Manual Dolby Digital Audio 2ch (AC-3 2) 3.5 mm Stereo Mini-jack Microphone Terminal Dimensions - Width 2.3 x Height 2.4 x Depth 4.9 (58x60x124mm) Weight - 9.2 ounces (260 grams)

Summary: Love it for it's no nonsense use.
Comment: This camera could not be any easier to use that all the previous camcorders I've used (Hi8 and DVD). I love the fact that I don't have to think about how much time is left on the tape or if I brought enough DVD's. It might not be HD but for $300++ you can't really go wrong. File transfer to the computer could not get any easier too. Just install the image mixer program and just plug in the camcorder via USB and power it with the power adapter (so you won't lose power when transferring files) and it lets you select which files you want to upload to your PC. It could not get any simpler than that. I didn't have to read the manual too.
If there was a con to this product I would have to say I wished they added a lens filer thread on the camera so I won't get too worried about dust and dirt getting on the lens and having the auto lens cover close and scratch the lens.
If you're into HD and stuff like that, this camera is not for you. If you want to record memories and transfer then to you PC without complicated transfer procedure, I suggest you look into the FS series.

Summary: Best basic home movie camcorder out there today
Comment: I get abused by my wife for over-analyzing every purchase, but after playing around with this camera a little, I've earned a stay of execution. The camera is amazingly small and light. The low-light performance is on par with this class of camcorder (none are great) but I found tweaking the settings a little make the noise much less noticeable. The battery life is between 2-3 hours and it charges fairly quickly. I prefer the optical anti-shake of higher end camcorders, but it looks like Canon has the digital version working pretty well now. The "auto-shutter" to protect the lens is really nice since my past camcorders always had finger smudges regardless of how often I cleaned the lens and kept the cap on.
The functions are fairly intuitive and I only needed the manual to figure out I had to push the photo button down a littler further to actually take a picture. It definitely isn't going to replace my real camera for photos and it'll be used 99% of the time for video only, but the photo quality was good enough to work in a pinch.
As usual, throw away the provided software and use the movie editing software on your computer. For me, that meant iMovie 08 for the Mac. There's some nuances with iMovie and this camera, but if you turn off Time Machine and set the camera USB port to always connect to "PC" (not sure why it doesn't default to this anyway), you shouldn't have any issues. iMovie 08 is the only Mac software that recognizes the camera without requiring additional software (ugh - not the fault of the camera though).
The only difference between the FS100, FS10, and FS11 is the amount of internal flash. With the battery life and the availability of an SD/SDHC slot capable of supporting up to 32Gb cards, the FS10 looked like the "sweet spot" of the 3 versions with the best balance of price and memory.
If I really needed a view finder, hot shoe, great low-light performance, HD video, etc... I would've just bought a much more expensive camera. For what this camera is designed to do, you can't go wrong.

Summary: Excellent camcorder for the money!
Comment: Don't be fooled by some of these other reviews. People just need to realize that your computer from 2004 just does not cut it anymore. I have a circa 2007 HP slimline computer and everything was 100% compatible. I took the HDSC card out of the camera...plugged it directly into the computer and it played instantly on my Windows Media Player. The zoom is great. Battery life is as expected. The size is perfect for travel. I recommend this item to anyone. As always, Amazon had great pricing and if you are not a Prime member yet...have your head examined!!! I paid $3 and it was here the next day!

Summary: excellent camera. easy to use. no instruction necessary.
Comment: We used this camera for our wedding and it worked out beautifully. We just passed it around to whomever was interested in taping for a while. No one had any problems figuring out how to use it, and it had enough internal memory to capture the whole day. Only complaint would be the battery life. The battery life indicator is a little mis-leading, as it goes from 2 hours left down to 10 minutes left in about 40 minutes. Overall, this is a great product.

Summary: An Amazing Product
Comment: This is truly an amazing camera. It is very small; easy to carry. Video picture quality is excellent. As are individual snap shots. Has fantastic telephoto (48x Advanced Zoom) BUT, I find I need help on holding Camera steady when shooting high levels of telephoto. I plan on getting a monopod rather than a tripod simply to have the advantage of a more compact, easier to carry unit.
If you are looking for a sub-compact size video - the Canon FS 10 with 8GB internal memory - is the one.
