Canon Flash Camcorder | Canon FS 100 Flash Memory Camcorder
The Canon fs100 flash memory camcorder is by most accounts one of the best in the line of flash memory digital camcorders coming out these days. VHS camcorders have gone the way of the dinosaur, and Super 8 video cameras (yes they’re still around, not in the old format but in digital 8 format) are going that way. Soon MiniDV camcorders will be obsolete too,
Hard drive camcorders are gaining in popularity for many reasons. They’re a little more rugged than tape units (but not as much as flash units) and their access time is much quicker. If you want to transfer a 2 hour tape to your computer with a tape camcorder you’ll need two hours to do it. If you want to transfer one scene you’ve got to search your tape for it. With a hard drive camcorder it’s as simple as transferring a file, just like you’d do from a flash drive or floppy disk (if anybody is still using floppy drives!). Just drag your files to your computer. Another benefit to hard drive camcorders is the large memory size. Flash camcorders don’t have as much memory but as prices drop on the memory that will change. They do use a compression scheme to achieve the same recording times as a hard drive camcorder.
Flash memory cameras are gaining in popularity, and will probably replace hard drive camcorders in the future. Flash memory camcorders like the Canon FS 100, don’t have as much memory size but use a compression scheme to allow you to save more video. They can achieve high definition quality, with none of the downside of the hard drive are tape camcorders. Flash memory needs no moving parts, so the FS100 is more rugged than a hard drive camcorder, and much better than a tape camcorder like a MiniDVD. Most Canon FS100 flash memory camcorder reviews note that the video quality is excellent rivaling even other formats. Couple that with the superior ruggedness and easy to use controls and you have a winner.
