With Canon??s Advanced Zoom, you can now enjoy stunning video from any distance.
Image stabilizer Shoot rock-steady video -- even when you??re at maximum telephoto without a tripod. It is even effective while panning or zooming.
DIGIC DV II image processor DIGIC DV II is the next generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing technology. Even though video and still images have different color requirements, DIGIC DV II digital signal processing ensures optimal image quality for both video and still images. Thanks to DIGIC DV II image processing, the FS100 produces video with improved color reproduction -- especially in skin tones, and dark and light scenes. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction -- for images that are crystal clear.
