But there are some points for you to consider that might have been complained by other purchasers, which would be:
1. The short life of the battery. I suggest you to buy another battery as backup.
2. The compact camera can?t perform quite well in low light condition. You should experiment a little to get the best setting according to your need.
3. Since this is a compact and quite small camcorder, Canon Elura 100 Camcorder has small controls which might not be comfortable for you with big hands.

The video quality is pretty good, especially the ability to shoot in wide screen mode. Also the built-in lens cover makes it no more hassle with lens caps dangling at front. If you just use this camcorder for daily activity instead of professional video recording, this Canon Elura 100 might suit your need and budget. Available starting from $339.
