A comprehensive review ending with:
"Not only does the HF100 handle superbly, but it's clever ergonomics make it a joy to use. The ability to connect external mics (either via the jack or external hotshoe) is a major boon, as is it's comprehensive output connectivity by way of HDMI, component and AV/headphone. Colour and picture contrast look great on a large flat panel HD display and stereo audio is up to expectations, too. Moreover the option to use the 1080p 25fps progressive Cinema mode will attract serious users looking for a more film-like visual style.
The HF100 is a fabulous product, and provides a clear sign of what's to come in the world of digital video"
Have to agree with everything they said - this is a top, top camera
