Re: [videoblogging] Re: Sanyo Xacti HD1010 / Canon HF100 4MP MPEG4 High Definition 1080i/1080p Camcorder with 10x
I went ahead and purchased the FS100, for many of the reasons mentioned earlier. In the attached photo, that I took a minute ago, you can see the mic jack, as well as the AV out jack, which will accomodate headphones. So far so good with this camera, although I haven't yet connected it to the computer, charged the battery, or loaded the software. I've got some work to do.

That FS100 looks sweet for the price, but no mic port, which is a killer for me. I've got the HF100 (my review here: http://techtrek.blip.tv/#972293) and so far I'm happy, the only issues are that sometimes the white balance seems to shift between takes, but I'm not sure. And you're right, I don't shoot on HD mostly, but XP+ so it's easier to edit in Final Cut Express. You simply Log and Capture, which is about the same time as bringing in AVIs from an Xacti (I think) then in the time line, you don't have to render at all. If it's HD, there's a long render process if I remember right. My sense is that for video blogging Card Only cameras, with mic ports, the shoot out is still Canon HF vs. Xacti 1000s I've used both, and it's pretty close for me, with Canon slightly in the lead due to form factor (I don't like the pistol feel in terms of the subjects and look) and User Interface. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rob Schendel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm reconsidering my decision to purchase the Canon HF 100.

Thanks Caleb! From the product description (at Amazon.com): *Microphone terminal* The FS100 features a microphone terminal for attaching an external microphone. Would Canon have updated the camera without changing the model number? The reason I ask is if yours doesn't have it, why is it shown in the description. Furthermore, one of the tech journal's reviews mentioned that it didn't have Image stabilization, yet the same product description says: *Image stabilizer* Shoot rock-steady video -- even when you're at maximum telephoto without a tripod. It is even effective while panning or zooming. Like you, the first thing on my list is the mic terminal. Real close to that is the Image stabilizer. Makes me think that I shouldn't shop on a site like eBay for this, because I might be getting one of the older ones. Best to get a brand new one that promises to have these two features. Any thoughts? Does anyonje know if the FS100 has been changed to incorporate these features since originally released? Rob www.twitter.com/robschendel On Fri, Sep 26, 2008 at 8:39 AM, Caleb J.

Rob Jocelyn, here's a page in a review of the Canon Vixia HF10 which describes why you're having problems. http://www.microfilmmaker.com/reviews/Issue33/HF10_6.html And here's his workflow to get around it: http://www.microfilmmaker.com/tipstrick/Issue33/HF10WKTH.html Same as for the HF100 - it records 24P Normal in AVCHD. There are all sorts of issues with AVCHD files and editing programs. The latest versions of Premiere, Vegas, FCP iMovie seem able to cope with them - although I've been reading problems that Chuck Olsen's had with the Canon HG20 this week even using iMovie 08.

Rob, I have the HF-10 which has the internal 16GB flash and love it. I've been completely lax in doing anything other than recording lots of different things and plopping them on to the iMac - but I can say that the videos import to iMovie easily, the video looks great, and the built in audio sounds great and has an easily adjustable gain for those special loud moments. Not all that noticeable - but in some low light instances running as high quality as I can, I do get some motion lines showing up. I notice them more while trying to export a frame to an image more than I do just watching. Feel free to contact me on or offline for more specific questions, for the price it's a great little tiny HD camera, and get's my thumbs up.

Hi Jocelyn! Thanks for sharing your experience with the HF100. Which Audio Technica shotgun do you use, and is it able to use the mini shoe that Canon placed on this unit? Your video looks great, but more importantly, it is a really interesting, well done documentary. I can only wish that I will be able to create content as good as you did with one. It is exceptional!
