"Best flash media, standard defination (not HD) camcorder."

by duncanshaw on August 2, 2008

Pros: Great stable zoom,3 hour battery life,well made.Canon tech support

Cons: no threads to attach lens filter,editing sortware supplied not the best. Get your own
Summary: Tried theCanon DC 330 miniDVD. Also great camera.Same price $300. Then tested Canon FS 100! Same innards as Dc330 but much smaller and convenient! Quality on my monitor is excellent.The steps getting the vid out of the camera and onto the computer are alot less than tape/DVD based camcorders. I was nervous about editing the .mod files they put out. I have Adobe Premier Elements, Ulead Video Studio 11 Plus and they work great. Do a quick search on how to work with the .mod files these flash camera put out. Simple as renaming them .meg or mpeg. SDcopy is popular. In Adobe Premier Elements for example. I read the SD card with card reader. I open up Adobe. I drag the .Mod file to the project table then right click the movie in the table ,5th down is interpete footage then click on conform to then chose wide. Will play letterbox format for you to edit.

Canon left off threads to attach a protective filter!
If ANYTHING gets down there the camcorder is ruined.

This works for me.

Bought at Best Buy. UV filter by

Sunpack. $10. 34mm/37. Shipping tape or scotch tape will secure it to the camera just fine. Just be sure smear,dust,water is not on the filter. Will show up on your vid.
