Perfect accessory
This wide angle converter not only does exactly what I hoped it would do, it also looks good on the camera as well. The standard HF100 zoom lens probably only extends as wide as the equivalent of a 45mm lens on a 35 mm camera. With this attachment, I reckon it widens the view to something like a 30 mm lens equivalent on a 35 mm camera. Not quite as wide as a super wide angle, but a big improvement. I keep it on the camera most of the time now and I can't say I have noticed the image quality becoming degraded in any way as a result of doing so, plus you still get a really tight zoom angle when you choose to zoom in.

Essential Add-On for Vixia HF10/100
This is one of those add-ons that make you wonder how you managed without it. First and foremost, it adds *significant* coverage for landscape or group shots (and when isn't covering the scene important, anyway?) and still leaves a generous zoom of 8.4x. This isn't even a trade-off in my book. Another non-issue (for me) is the fact that it blocks the on-board light, which makes the scene look terrible (casts a harsh blue fringe) & should only be used in emergencies. Plenty of manual controls abound for control of low-light scenes, but that's for another review...
As a somewhat superficial "plus," it looks fantastic on the HF100. The lens is also substantial and completely integrates with the solid feel (and look) of the HF100. It does change the weight distribution of the camera to a noticeable extent, almost shifting it into a mid-size unit in terms of grip, feel and storage (for which Canon supplies a nicely done soft pouch that ties at the top).
The only potential negative is that it blocks the flash (unless you find the pronounced shadow/arc useful for artsy shots!) but I haven't yet found many shots that couldn't be dealt with using less extreme measures. This is a great purchase!

Very useful for HF10
I purchased this along with my HF10 after reading reviews of the rather limited field of view of current HD video cameras. I am very happy with the purchase as this lense stays on the camera. I shoot mostly indoor video of the kids and this really helps. As for lense quality, I've heard good things about it but don't have anything to compare it to. There are probably other cheaper options out there but I didn't want to purchase an inferior product that limits what I want to record: HD video.
The only negative that has more to do with the camera itself is that this lense blocks the built-in light (for night time use). An easy workaround is to get a secondary light to mount on the camera.
This was a very good purchase for what I use the camera for and I would buy it again if I were in the market.

Works really well.
I'm very happy with this wide-angle adapter. Not much to say. It's just a great little add on for my our Vixia HF100.

Canon XL H1S And XL H1A Digital Video CamcordersCanon, a leader in digital technology, has succeeded in its high definition HD XL series and now introduces XL H1S and XL H1A high definition digital video models with new advanced features for professional cameramen.
The new XL H1S and XL H1A feature Canon 20x HD Video Lens with zoom, focus and iris for manual adjustments. The lens system offers aspherics for reducing flare, fluorite elements to decrease chromatic aberration, and Super Range Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to correct camera shake. In addition, cameras use HDV tapes – the most affordable video digital media for shooting prolonged occasions, such as wedding or film making.
Both XL H1S and XL H1A produce outgoing HD image quality with:
- Canon XL interchangeable lens system
- 1/3 inch 1.67 Megapixel 3CCD Image Sensors
- DIGIC DVII HD Image Processor
- 6-pin IEEE 1394 terminal to external hardware
- XL H1S model incorporates HD-SDI (SMPTE 299M/272M) output with raw and uncompressed 1.485 Gbps signal to meet live production needs, as well as SMPTE Time Code ins/outs and Genlock output.
Video can be captured in various frame rates:
- 60i aimed at mainstream production
- 30F for Web delivery or qualitative grabs
- 24F to imitate motion-picture film
There is an optional upgrade to get 50i and 25F frame rates. All frame rates are between HD 1080-line 16:9 aspect ratio and SD 480-line 4:3 aspect ratio.
A total of 23 custom presets available for color adjustments with step-by-stem tuning to achieve professional subtleties.
 The new XL H1S and XL H1A HD camcorders are carefully designed for professional producers, cinematographers, and know how to benefit the best quality of Canon HD videocams. No wonder that Canon’s consumer camcorders gained number one position until sales above 200$ in January and February. Also Canon's new XL H1S and XL H1A digital video camcorders will be exposed at 2008 NAB Show.
The new Canon XL H1S HD is planned to be available in June for an estimated retail price of 8,999$, and the Canon XL H1A will have an estimated retail price of 5,999$ and will be available in July.
