Not the best for your money.......2007-05-24

I purchased this camcorder for myself. I was not impressed at all. It was better than having to use a tape camcorder & worry about possible taping over important footage, but the video quality was not impressive at all. For this price, I'd expect more. I returned mine & am currently thinking about a Sony.

Very poor quality in low light.......2007-05-16

this camcorder cannot record in low or artificial light environment; the image is so bad that the faces become unrecognizable. Night shot or any other settings are competely useless. Bottom line: this DC100 is piece of junk

Top product not so easy to use.......2007-05-14

Canon's DC100 DVD Camcorder comes recommended as the top product of it's type and best buy. You can use it straight out of the box on automatic settings but it's a bit more difficult to set up for viewing on TV and computer than one might imagine. Not exactly a plug and play item. It's a hassle in many respects to learn how to use all the functions and to perform ordinary tasks. However for ease of use and convenience in size as far as filming go, I can't imagine there is a better item at a better price.

Be Very Cautious About Buying a Canon DC100.......2007-05-12

1st, I bought the camera and then all the accessories so I had well over $500 invested. It doesn't even come with a blank disk or an extra battery.

I spent thousands of dollars on a trip to Germany, Austria and Venice Italy. Purchased the camera because of its high rating, superior lense and image stabilizer that my last digital camera didn't have. I carefully read the entire users guide because I like to use all the features. Camera operated fine for the length of one DVD RW, then it wouldn't read any of the other disks of the same brand. Spent money and tried other disks to no avail. Then downloaded contents of the disk to a laptop, and reused the disk - that worked fine - one time. Ended up having to borrow someone elses camera.

The movie and pictures I did get to take were grainy and the stablizer didn't help a whole lot. This camera is a major disappointment so beware.

The features of the camcorder are user friendly. The problem encountered was camcorder failure to initialize the DVDs---unable to playback on DVD player.

Butterfly Photo was accomodating for product return/exchange.
