A Review of the Canon C100

If you get the image here, you'll know the primary reason I bought a C100.  Of course there were other factors which I'll get into below, but that's the main one.

This review doesn't delve deeply into all of the specs of a C100, rather it addresses the reasons I purchased one and why I think it's the right piece of kit for me.
