The DC100 features a 2.7-inch LCD, while the DC95 sports a slightly larger 3.0-inch display, providing better visibility during shooting.

Battery life is another crucial aspect where the Canon DC100 and DC95 excel. With efficient power management, these camcorders offer extended recording times, allowing users to film longer events without worrying about battery drainage.

In terms of connectivity, both devices come equipped with USB and AV outputs, enabling easy transfer of footage to computers or TVs for sharing and editing.

In summary, the Canon DC100 and DC95 are equipped with a selection of advanced features catering to both casual and serious videographers.
