pros: this camcorder has a built in light and shotgun mic. i am amazed at how much the mic pics up. batery lasts 3 hours. 9mbps highest res., and many other thingsCON: this camcorder doesnt have thread for lenses but you can hot glue an adapter ring( 43mm to 37mm ) and get 37mm lenses.i love it and you should buy it.[.].
What is up with the price of this thing. the current price is rediculous, people are way to pround of thier cams. It is clear and odviously has night vision and awesome audio for that purpose. good greif. I originally bought it for home movies of recreational entertainment(making music videos, selfmade scif- dramas ect) but lately I use it as an intereor security camera. It is great for both purposes. holy ghost of the trinity. the orignal retail for mine was maybe $300 tops.
cuz it aint retailers. so I won't be buying another. I am very offended at the price on this website by 3rd party "sellers". I can leave my home unattended when on a breif trip down the block to the "7/11" NOT that anyone with comon sense should just leave their home open to the wolves for longer a trip. I do NOT remember paying half a grand for mine back in '07. I've seen more comon sense in home owners "selling" thier homes for 3x the worth(the fochers).
you can hook it to a PC for perfect sound can monitor your doorways and driveway when you are away or in the back yard with your front door wide open awaiting unwanted "houseguests". It works mainly to monitor my pets and my stuff while I am away and ADT can't do everything, I let the cams take up the slack. who is selling these tihngs. VERY OFFENDED.
Very pleased with it. Have been using it ofr 2 years and I am very happy. Battery life is brilliant and SD use make it so simple to export videos, it's a breeze.
Before, I had a Kodak digital camera, and the only feature the video setting had was on/off. The battery life is really great, but for long shoots I normally plug it into the wall and feed off the electricity. Pros: It's small, which is nice. Cons: The camera names the videos randomly. So, this camera seemed decent, I got it for a good price, and I was super happy with it. I still am, mind you, but it does have it's cons. I got this FS100 because I wanted a camcorder. Useful when recording a speech or something.
If you use the disk that comes with it, it re-names all of them in order (but, I lost that CD) which is super nice. I have an SD card (which is better then DV tapes) and it can hold 3+ hours of straight video. Video quality is not HD, and picture quality is like something on a cell phone. Video quality is OK for internet videos, but on a TV it might look sharp. No zoom, no white balance, no nothing. It names the videos something like "Video1 to Video10" then "VideoA to VideoZ" and then "Video1A to Video10Z", it's really random.
But it's hard to keep steady when zooming. But I've used this for a few years now, and got some great footage. So when you want to put your videos in order, it's really hard. My cell phone takes better pictures then this does.
on the camcorder needs to adjust to 808 for the first 3 numbers like the other Amazon customer said before my purchase of this product. Sony's a bit too F22 for me, and you want that softer look at times.
I get Irvine repair center's ok, then 2 weeks later, no camera, and then someone in virginia is pissed off I ever was able to buy it after saving money out in Palm Springs summer last year, and that the seller sold me a blue one. I read about others having a lens fade to black problem, and sure enough.
The lens itself I found better HD in Samsung now, which is a great change. She wants it and wants to keep it herself.
Everything about this product was weird, including the serial no., and retailers pulled it off as soon as returns came through, and very few FS200 in retail if at all, all due to this lens which is "hot," meaning they put it out on market without final ok, and that's why the followup from virginia reflects it. The 16:9 is a bit incompatible with most computers and programs, and therefore again, you question why the serial no.
I'm now selling for parts, but $337 includes the warranty, and Canon reneged, and so like their 35mm without the lens, it's only worth ony $27 on reseller's market, just like Honda.
