Canon HFS100 Test

The FX7 ended up being replaced by a Canon HF-S100. The FX-7 was nice and a pleasure to use, but it lacks 24p/30p progressive shooting modes.

The Canon HF-S100 was released this spring. So far, I like mine and took it out yesterday afternoon to put it through its paces. The picture quality is impressive, and most of the manual shooting controls found in the FX7 are found in the HF-S100.

Camera settings: PF24 frame rate, Cinemode colour, 1/48sec. shutter speed. No colour correction or grading was done, but a polarizer filter was affixed to the lens to make the overall image a bit punchier.

The HF-S100 is the same camera as the HF-S10. The main difference is that the 'S10 has 32GB of flash memory on board, while the 'S100 does not.

ok call me dense, but i just want to know what the frame rate of this camera is? ive always used film cameras before, and am only just looking in to getting a new hd one and i like the look of this camera, but i cant find what the frame rate is. is it something different when you record digitally with hd? it says up there that this was a pf24 frame rate? any help clearing this up would be great help, thanks.

@beohthram

The frame rate was 24 frames per second. 24P, as it's sometimes known, is a frame rate that delivers the visual cadence of film. I chose that frame rate to give the video a more film-like look.

When recording digitally in HD, you have a choice of 1080i (interlaced) or 1080p (progressive). 1080p is smoother looking, since the image is deinterlaced, and you get less of that 'live', TV-type look.

The song is called 'Twenty-three', by False Haruspex.

Hi and thanks for uploading this excellent and clear video.

Is the memory thing the only difference between the HFS100 and the HFS10? and is the 24p/30p progressive shooting mode feature available on both models or only the HFS100

[Pictor100]

The onboard memory is the only real difference between the HF-S10 and the HF-S100. Both cameras have 24p/30p shooting modes.

@MgdCf you can choose 720p to get the closest to reality, but the camera actually shoots in 1080p, so no, it's probably not as good as it gets.
