The camera itself is great, the video looks better than I expected.

PROS: The camera itself is great, the video looks better than I expected for the price. The LCD screen is bright enough to see clearly in daylight. Image stabilization is surprisingly good, even at high magnifications. CONS: The menu is very clunky and annoying to navigate. Changing exposure/focus/etc. when shooting in manual mode is much more awkward than it should be. It also has this quirky built-in "kids mode" feature that no sane person would use. In general I am satisfied with this…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Much

Updated 4/17/18 Captures good video in fairly low light at a great price. The biggest surprise was that the batteries and charging cables are not compatible with older versions of Vixia. The on/off and other controls are very different from the old Vixias. I use 3 old Vixias so it's a hassle for me to keep the batteries etc separate from the old Vixia stuff. In addition, the battery is installed in a completely different way than before and is not as simple. It fits under some tabs instead of…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

That's cool! Looking for a good camcorder.

Great! I was looking for a good camcorder for my parents as sometimes it can be difficult to find a camcorder with photo and video capabilities! It's easy to learn and great that it supports SD cards! The quality is way better than what I had when I was a kid! Especially the zoom quality! It's also relatively small and compact, making it easy to take with you! :) Things to keep in mind: The battery is on the outside which makes it a bit strange but to be honest it's not a big deal! It would be…

Good camcorder to take with you and record

The camera is a lot smaller than I expected but it's great because it's portable. The camera has about 180 minutes of recording time, which is not bad in my opinion, and judging by the reviews, this is a long battery life. The zoom is good when using the 32x optical zoom, but the Advance's 57x zoom isn't as good, but not bad either. I did notice that it's a bit blurry with the 57x optical zoom, but to be honest you don't need the 57x zoom, if at all. This camera has a microphone jack so you can

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Great dedicated camcorder!

UPDATED 9/12/2016Excellent Specialized Video Camera! It's incredibly small, but not too small for my man hand. With the battery attached, it's a good weight and doesn't feel cheap at all. It took me a while to get the camera set up the way I wanted it. A lot of trial and error with different settings and presets, but ultimately I decided to leave this camera in the very reliable fully automatic mode, with a few tweaks to the advanced settings in the settings menu. I will pass these tips on to…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • No Form Required
