Canon Vixia HF S100

Pros: Image quality, huge lens, huge cmos sensor, comfortable, sexy, pro.

Cons: Some people would say the lens cover rattles. (Um, who cares?)

Summary: For all the negatives I've read about this camera, I can't ever get over that fact that they are unimportant criticisms. The image quality is the most important thing and this camera rocks at that. Furthermore the price of this prosumer level camera is probably kept low because of something as dumb as a rattling lens cover. I'm psyched people are finding weird negatives about this camera because it means I could buy it cheaply as a hobbyist obsessed with image quality.
