THIS IS NOT A TRUE HIGH DEFINITION CAMCORDER. ITS IS 1440X1080 RESOLUTION. Full high def is 1920x1080. Beware, read the manual carefully, before buying.
HF 10 is 1920x1080 (Real Full HD)
HF100 is 1440x1080 (Not full HD, Only one edge is 1080) DONT GIVE ME RED, I JUST READ THE MANUAL BEFORE EVEN THINKING OF BUYING. Neel71 said:TigerDirect has it for $599.00 with $8.99 Ground shipping and live.com is offering a 12.5% CashBack for TigerDirect purchases which comes out to $525 (+$8.99S&H).
This is the lowest price I could find for this wonderful little camcorder. I know TigerDirect is not a reputable etailer though.
Here is the Tiger direct link for reference only. For CashBack purpose, please do NOT forget to buy it through live.com.
Vixia HF100 Camcorder @ Tigerdirect
Just a note that TigerDirect charges tax for TX, FL, NC, & IL.
This might be useful for people looking for a nice HD camcorder.

Movies: Approx. 2.07 Megapixels (1920x1080)
Still image: Approx. 2.76 Megapixels (1920x1440) |

aztec5109, doesn't know what he's talking about.
I just got this camcorder (using this deal BTW!)
The FXP (17mbps) mode is 1920x1080. The lower modes are 1440x1080. READ THE MANUAL.
So this IS a true 1080p HD camcorder. |

$639 - 95.85(15%) = $543.15
Then call j&r for the price match and get $31 back. (J&R adds shipping price in price match)
So total
$543.15 - $31 = $512.15 and No tax and free shipping. Not bad. I ordered it couple of days back and just did the price match on phone. I see Live CashBack for J&R @ 6.0%. Has this changed in the last few days? If not, where did the 15% come from? Thanks. |

aztec5109 might have read the wrong manual
Its true that there were some initial AVCHD camcorders (that were not even flash based) that were not true HD. But HF100 is surely not one of them. I also wanted to buy another HF100 for my brother from JR. Unfortunately, their CashBack is no longer 15% (sigh!). |
