Hi, I want to buy an SD Camcorder, and I don't know if I should get the Canon Zr930 or the Canon FS100. Can anyone help me choosing the right one please ?

If you want to edit

the video you capture, then the decision is easy...

If your computer has a firewire port or you are planning to add one, then the ZR930. If your computer has no firewire port and you cannot or will not add one, then the FS100.

z930 vs fs100

the z930 has a viewfinder and the avi-dv codec is higher quality then the fs100 mpeg2, but you will need a firewire port on your computer as stated. the fs100 is smaller and uses sdhc cards

everything else is the same between the 2
