Canon Digital Camcorder : Canon DC100 DVD Camcorder

SimplyDV Review: Canon DC100 DVD Camcorder

Simple design, easy to use, good quality widescreen and audio, good value for money, ideal for complete newbie

It's a basic, but good quality, DVD camcorder aimed at the casual home video user and at a price won't break the bank. For the target market - it's ideal. Venture further up the range if you're looking for increased functionality, however.

Canon DC100

When it comes to the budget end of the DVD camcorder market, we're used to seeing pictures marred but all kinds of compression artifacts and inaccurat...

Better image quality than we see on many low priced DVD camcorders, a few manual controls

No USB connection, no SD card slot, still images not that hot

Above average video quality is countered by a lack of an SD card slot and poor quality stills on this DVD camcorder. A good option for the buyer on a tight budget.
