Review on Enhanced Canon VIXIA HF R72 Camcorder for Advanced Video Recording by Sam Lund

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great camera, especially considering the price.

I did a little research before purchasing and Canon seemed to offer the best value for money. I chose the HF R72 over the newer HF R82 because it was $150 cheaper and the quality was the same. I mainly use my camcorder to record sporting events. My daughter plays rugby and I'm tired of shooting with my old iPhone 6s. My biggest fear was that the quality wouldn't match the price. Well the quality is great. I'm definitely happy with it. The only things missing are a viewfinder, a pause button, and a touchscreen that's difficult to see in direct sunlight. The rest of the camcorder is great. I tried to attach a YouTube video that I recorded with a camcorder and uploaded to show the quality, but it seems to violate Revain's review policies. Find out, shm. Anyway, it's a really nice little camcorder and very easy to use. I'm definitely satisfied.

Pros
  • 3.0 inch brighter capacitive LCD touchscreen with new user interface for easy menu navigation and video viewing
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
