HFS100 August Refresh

[HeroWorship]

Hello all!

I am new to the forum after lurking for awhile before making my purchase decision on Amazon.

I just bought a Canon HFS100 on June 2. I saw though that the price has dropped..

Please note that the price of Canon VIXIA HFS100 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom has decreased from $984.23 to $869.99 since you placed it in your Shopping Cart. Items in your cart will always reflect the most recent price displayed on their product detail pages.

I have heard rumor of a model refresh in August. Does anyone have any info about this? I'd love to hold onto the new cam so I can actually shoot. But if it's a substantial refresh maybe I should return it.

Hello everyone!
I'm new here also and just wanting to say I have just purchased the HFS100 also. I ran to amazon after reading this post and grabbed one up, but sadly they had raised the price some, it was $887. Still a good deal to me though. However, later on I found that buy.com has it for $869 with free shipping after I made my order. Can't wait for it to come in to start trying it out.

I also have read of the rumors of the august refresh, but do not have any details. I doubt they will be a big change in the product line just yet. Maybe just some extra features added.

Where, did you guys read about the rumors? I'd like to see a link if you remember. Since the price hasn't dropped a euro here in Europe since launch!!! For me it's no biggie to wait, as you can understand.

It's not a rumor. Canon *usually* refreshes some of their camcorder models in August. However, this is not for sure, it's just an observance of the previous years.

yeah, that's what I thought they were talking about. Just hoped there was some real news about the new line or refreshed versions. Thanks for your replay.

Hi, been waiting to buy a hfs10/100 for a while, keep checking for possible updated cameras and have noticed canon.co.uk is now offering a £50 rebate on the hf range, looks good for a possible refresh, but like people have said, not seen any actual press releases etc on specs
