Canon Elura 100 Review

by Richard Baguley

- The Elura 100 ($400 as of 5/2/06) is small both in size and in price: In fact, at 2.2 by 3.0 by 4.3 inches, it's one of the smallest camcorders available. Though it's not quite pocket-size, it's compact and light enough to fit into a purse, so it won't drag you down.

User Reviews for Canon Canon Elura 100

Reviewed by: skul1thumper

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: picture quality, battery life, size, & most of all the price ( paid less than $300 3 MONTHS ago )

Weaknesses: low light resolution not the greatest

Overall Evaluation: I purchased the ELURA 100 after reading reviews on camcorderinfo.com & it had the ELURA 100 rated as the top camcorder from $0-$1000's camcorders. I have used it to video all of my son's HS basketball games using the wide screen with superb results. I've had to record OT games & still had plenty of battery power left. For ease of use, great picture quality, & price, I don't feel that you can beat this product.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: size, price, wide screen, zoom settings, easy learning curve

Weaknesses: noise, motor noise, noise,noise, high pitched noise and noise, poor auto focus in low light, grainy pictures in low light

Overall Evaluation: great camera for the price, but the played back video is filled with a high pitched noise that's recorded from the motor or tape mechanism. If this is going to be an investment for a long time you will have to live with noisy audio. its terrible, and I have not experienced such a noise in any camera before.NOISE all the way.....focusing is slow and cant keep up with zoomlow light video is grainyI think canon should call this off from the market. No wonder it sells so cheap for its specs.
