CNET Reviews:

The good: Compact size; fast, 20X zoom lens; solid color in video footage.

The bad: Average low-light performance; no accessory shoe.

The bottom line: With a big zoom, a small size, and a decent price, the Canon Elura 100 is a great choice if you plan on steering clear of low-light situations.
