I bought the HFS 100 Did not like the results, I have a HF 100 and love it, but want the latest, I sold the HFS 100 and bought the HF20 and WOW what a great camera, shape clear pictures and video better than HF100 and for sure better than HFS 100. I can’t understand NEG reviews on HF20 it is fantastic, as far as low light issues thats what it has manual controls for. I could not be happier. LOVE THIS HF20
The ability to record at many different quality levels is great, and exporting and editing, works seamlessly.
It not only extends the recording space available, but also gives you added flexibility in file transfer and playback.
it come with 32GB of internal flash memory, I bought an extra two 16GB SD cards, if you want to record as long as you’re battery is good.
