Review on 📷 Renewed Canon VIXIA HF R700 Camcorder - Full HD Video, 57x Advanced Zoom, 1080P, 3in Touchscreen, DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor - Black by Dennis Goozmer

Got this because it has an external mic input. I record stage performances, usually from a light booth, so I need an external microphone outside of the booth and away from fan noise. It also allows me to use a highly directional mic to pick up more sound from the stage and less sound from the audience. In addition, it has a good large touchscreen, excellent autofocus, excellent contrast and a choice of recording formats. both speed and good battery life. The two things that bother me are the rectangular power plug (so it can't rotate to reduce strain on the cable) and the display is covered with too many large icons that you can't ignore.
