How bad is the sound of the mechanism in camcorders?

I have read on many customer review sites that many camcorders have a hissing sound when playing back the video. This is because the mic picks up the mechanism sound in the tape compartment. How loud is this sound and does it ruin videos. Is it noticeable???.. I am especially looking at the canon elura 1000. I am traveling to italy, and i also want this camera for family occassions..will this sound be noticeable and annoying or will it be unheard do to outdoor noises, and talking?....i am not planning to film anything that silent but if i do will the noise take over and make the video hard to watch???plz help thx...
srry i am the writer of this question i am referring to the canon elura 100...not the canon elura 1000 as i said in the question originally...srry for the typeo and any confusion i might have caused

1. The sound of the mechanism, especially in Canon camcorders, is hardly noticable. I would say that you would not need to worry about this.
