who's interested in seeing this camera's quality...
cheers!

Just unpacked and shot an hour of test video with a Canon HF100
camera.

Just dropped another $50, to $650.00.
I'm very happy so far. I think this is a stellar vlogging/documentary
camera. Jacket pocket sized, but takes mics, headphones, and has
manual everything, 24p, 30p, 60i and different sized batteries. The
video assist light will actually show a face in darkness for those
interviews that just will not wait for light. The onboard mic is
pretty damn good, being front mounted below the lens. And there's mic
levels on screen if you want for external or internal. $70 got me a
16GB card and reader. Very fast download to Mac. Waiting for a copy of
FC Express to come so I can edit. The HF10 is black and has on board
16GB card, but people like the HF100 for much less money, and same
basic camera.
I'll post a demo tape I did, complete with beaver, turkey, and duck
sightings in the wild's of New Hampshire on a pond.
I'm using a monopod and it's very helpful since the cam is so small.
Played off the card to an HD TV using component cables, it looks like
a DVD. And the 12x zoom is really nice for nature stuff. The still
photos are pretty good, say like a Canon SD 5MP.
If I had to complain, I'd say the AWB is a little off sometimes and
I'd rather have more video assist LEDs then a flash for stills.
