MSRP $99.00
Released April, 2008
Pros
- Great video quality
- Compact design
- Internal memory is good size
Cons
- No charging cradle
- Awkward joystick placement on left of flip-out LCD screen
- Video on internal memory is a pain to download, must be connected to AC or it does not let you download video over the USB??? SDHC cards are easier to deal with, and cost very little. The HF100 is the identical camera less the internal memory, save your money and the headaches, get the HF100 and a couple SDHC cards and good SDHC card reader for a few hundred dollars less.
