I would prefer the canon t2i, it is less money and looks even better

Hello, I also have this camera and just recently for my birthday I got a wide angled lens, Digital Optics Digital High definition Definition 0.43X Super Wide Angle Lens With Marco Japan Optics, and for some reason it won't fit, my dad did a bunch of research and made sure that it would work, do you have any idea why it won't fit, if you could answer this that would be really great.

3:51... that looks amazing....

[robblac]

480..why ?

[lumpyren]

Wow is the OIS on that camera really that bad? or did you have it turned off.  My old canon GL2 is far better at OIS than that camera....

I was hoping JVC finally fixed their horrible OIS, but this video makes it look like it's not working at all...

Hello, I have purchased this camera and am very happy with the quality when playing back through an HDTV.

I now want to edit footage but iMovie does not take HD files so the guy at my local Apple reseller is telling me I must use Final Cut Pro, but your description seems to suggest that Final Cut Express would work too.

Please can you confirm that Final Cut Express 4 imports the HD files in .MOV format or which format/settings you used to be able to edit in FCE?

@thecygnet

Final Cut Express is exactly what I used to edit this video -- you just might need a certain CODEC or QuickTime addition ... I forget what becasue that was a while ago and I no longer have the HM100. Just my Canon 7D SLR now. Bot doing any video right now,

[NordicRick]

how much is this camera?And after using it would you recommend another one instead?

[shaunotter]

I think it is still around $3,500 US ... I mainly found the limited zoom (only 10x with no really wide angle), poor optical stabilization, and weak/jumpy zoom control to be too limiting and annoying. Other than that it was an awesome camera. I think Canon's successor to the XH-A1s is coming soon with less compression and memory card recording -- sounds like a good option. Same with Sony Z and EX series. Maybe a new version of the HM100 might fix/enhance things some day?? Or a HM200??

Did you ever use a Polarization filter in any of these clips?

[shaunotter]

NO, just a UV.

[lorenzen162]

any problems using it with final cut express. Did you have to render the clips after they were inserted into the timeline?

[IpodKid666]

AHHA the dog thinks there is somthing in the bush

[nosipchuk]

How is the Optical Image Stabilization on this camera?

[shaunotter]

OIS is not so good, but it's better than none. Adequate at widest focal length, not good enough at 10X even when totally still and braced securely against a wall or propped on my knee.

[zenmachinefilms]

Good diverse selection to show what the camera can do.

Nice footage, some really great shoots. Thanks for sharing.

Very good colours, I am proud owner of HD7, and this HM100 is very similer in design!
