• Is the canon vixia hf r100 camcorder the same as the canon vixia hf 100 camcorder? please! i want to buy a new camcorder light but a lot say hf 100 compatible so im not sure if they are the same!

• Answer:

  No. The HF100 is closer to the HF M or S series - the medium and upper end of the line, respectively. The R series is the entry level low end of the line. Compare the lens filter diameter and imaging chip size. These are the expensive components. Larger is better and more expensive. Smaller makes for reduced video quality (especially in low light environments) and are less expensive.
