This is truly a very excellent camcorder. My last camcorder was a Sony ES900 which was 20 years ago and was tape driven. But with technology changing and the fact that I need something simple I can use for my YouTube channel, this caught my attention. I can just record onto an SD card and then put the card into my new HP TouchSmart computer while I easily copy the recording as a mp4 file onto my desktop. From there I can load it into Windows Movie maker, make my additions and edits, publish a final and then load onto my YouTube channel when doing my YouTube addresses. The battery took only about an hour to charge. The SD 64 card, which you have to buy separately, can record up to 8.5 hours of recording material and the battery it comes with is good for two hours of recording time. You can also plug the camera into a outlet power source if you don't want to use the battery. I don't need that much for my needs, but I printed the 200 page instruction manual offered by Canon and as I perused through the manual, I noticed this camera has a lot to offer. You should check out the Canon site and download the manual to get a full insight to what this camera can do. Here is the link: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/camcorders/high_definition_camcorders/vixia_hf_r500#BrochuresAndManuals This works very well under low and normal lighting conditions. Very intuitive design. The quick start guide gets you going fast enough and when you download the pdf file of the 200 page full manual, you learn this camera is a little power house with all it can do. I thought of buying the lesser version for $100 less, but as I kept reading on the Canon line of cameras and even the Sony brands; while comparing on the net between the various major stores over a few weeks of reading, I decided to go with this one for the money. I knew what I needed and for me this camera meets those expectations. So far so good. No complaints and no problems with the technology. I'm more than satisfied. I also bought the accessory package sold on Amazon.com: Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073AVSKG/ref=pe_861660_118320330_fxm_4_0_n_id You'll save money buying all the extras as a package deal. The only problem is the long legged tripod, which nis a bit flimsy in my experience with tripods. I bought an all aluminum tripod 30 years ago for $50 and it is still with me today. It is a very sturdy tripod too, but then again $50 bought a lot more than it does today, as the value of the dollar keeps diminishing in its purchase power over time. Such is capitalism with our FIAT currency system in the world. Otherwise it's a good deal. This camera does not come with an SD card, like I said earlier. You'll need to buy one. I bought the SD64 which can record 8.5 hours worth of recording time onto it and which is more than enough to meet my needs. I can easily download the contents to my computer in the form of mp4 files and clear the SD card easy enough to make fresh recordings using the VIXIA HF R500 anyway. All of it will fit into the camera bag that comes with that package kit I mentioned, except for the tripod. I even bought a stereo lavalier mic for interviews. That all fits into the bag including an 30 foot extension cord for the mic. Not bad for the money I spent. I also bought the 4 year Smart Guard extended warranty to safeguard my investment. I do this with all my computers and I would recommend it. I eventually have to send my computers in for work from normal wear and tear over time and even with a 2 or 4 year warranty plan, the plans pay for themselves in the end. I expect to have this camcorder for at least 4 years, unless I drop dead and at my age that could happen. (chuckling). However, if I live so long, then I have the added protection if the camcorder gets damaged or through wear and tear, needs repairs. Oh, one other thing that was not made obvious in the product write up, the lens is protected by a built-in mechanical flip down screen. All you do is flip a side switch and the metal protector retracts which hides the lens, revealing the lens. It keeps the lens protected, so make sure to use it to keep your lens protected when you are not using the camera. Makes me think of some an old German 35mm still cameras I owned some 40 years ago and boy where those cameras built. I still have a few today I keep in my possession. Not saying this is built to those hard standards, but the flap retract technique reminds me of the older German cameras from my youth. I mention this, because I wondered why I did not see any mention of a camera cover for the lens when I was reading up on the Canon camcorders. The reason is it is built in. Also this camera will hook up to a standard tripod screwing method. It has 3.5 mm jacks for both a headset and external mic in case you want to do interviews with it, using an external lavalier mic, which is what I'll be using mine for to help me with my YouTube channel work. You'll find both plugs when you open up the flip screen located on the side of the camera. I mention the 3.5 mm jacks, because that was not made clear in the write up on the camcorder. The mic jack is also stereo too, not mono. So make sure to buy a stereo mic with the 3.5 mm jack. Here is the URL concerning the lavalier mic I bought for this camera and it is a low cost stereo mic with a great sound recording ability. Great value for the money. Nice for the prices I might add. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HHZUXKI/ref=cfb_at_prodpg Hope I mentioned some things not mentioned in the write up or by others you found helpful. PS: If you want to see and hear an example of what this camera can do, go to this YouTube link I just did, using all the equipment I talk about in this review. Notice how nice the sound is using the lavalier microphone I provided the link to and the quality of the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-UuKp-wnx4

I think this little Cannon camcorder is wonderful. I bought my first ones (for a project for my job) at Best Buy and knew I liked them. I purchased this one here on Amazon for a much better price and had it shipped directly to me. This pint-sized camera fits in the palm of my hand and on a tripod and has awesome picture and sound quality. It is also very easy to use - I have taught many people how to use them for my job and they have had no trouble with them at all. I love that you can put in a an SD card and just pop it out and into the laptop to transfer. The first camcorders I had were WIFI enabled but for the project I am working on, this was not needed, so this one works just as well. I sometimes use an external lapel mic system with it for direct input and it works beautifully. I used them to tape an event in a large church and they adjusted automatically to the lighting for a wonderful looking video.

This is a very easy-to-use camcorder, that fits in the palm of your hand and shoots decent quality high definition video onto standard SD cards. It's about as easy to use as, say, your standard pocket digital camera. It has roughly the same kinds of features too. You can select what format to shoot in, and whether to record it in high, medium or low quality, which basically specifies how much detail of picture information it captures per second. You can turn the optical image stabilizer on and off -- basically you should turn it on if you're shooting handheld and off if you have the camera on a tripod. You can adjust exposure and mike levels and white balance. You can also choose autofocus or manual. The manual focus is pretty easy to work with, due to the touch screen controls. You can pick a point and have the camera focus there, so that that depth stays in focus even as you move the camera. You can also range the focus from very close (.3 feet) to far away ("infinity," represented by a mountain range icon). The images, based on what I've shot, are pretty good. They'd be perfect for family and vacation videos, and they look very good on a computer screen. Obviously this is not a professional camera. It does give you the option of shooting in either AVCHD (a fairly high quality compression format) or mp4. The AVCHD videos capture higher quality, better, video -- but you can't play them back right away on most systems. You'd want to edit them first -- most editing programs can handle it -- and then convert them to another format. If you just want to shoot video, and not worry about doing anything with it before you share it with grandma or upload it onto Facebook it would be best to shoot in mp4, because that can be played directly by almost any player. One nice feature that isn't always shared by camcorders in this price range is that it does have an input for an external microphone. It doesn't have a mount where you could secure a microphone on top, but if, say, you wanted to use this to record memoirs of family members it would be useful to plug in a microphone and have the subject of the interview holding it. On board microphones -- even on a high quality professional camcorder -- are never ideal for capturing sound because they tend to pick up noise from the camera itself.
