📷 Canon VIXIA HF R11 Full HD Camcorder with 32GB Flash Memory - Discontinued by Manufacturer - Reviews and Price Comparison Review

This video camera is wonderful. It's easy to use. The video quality is amazing. I like the idea that it comes with 32GB of storage with an SD card option for more storage.

Let's start by saying that one awkward moment for me was the horrible internal noise that the internal microphone picks up anytime the lens is working (and that's almost always when the autofocus is on!). I've tried using the camera without autofocus and the menu renders it completely inoperable unless the scene is within a certain distance. The camera has an external microphone connection, but no accessory shoe! The image stabilization is just fantastic. Video quality is also good, but suffers

If you just want to capture HD video and play it back on an HD TV, this camera will do. However, if you want to download the recorded video to your computer for editing, adding music, transitions, titles and creating a finished product, forget it. The included Pixela editing program is so weak that you can't add standard MP3 music files or import videos recorded by other cameras. There is only one audio and video track. The transitions don't work well, and overall it's a disaster. I tried two…

Working with my Mac and storage were my top considerations when purchasing this camera. and it had to be high definition. This is my first true high definition camcorder. I love how sharp and clear the image is (as I've been shooting on digital tape for many years). I'm using the highest resolution (FXP at 17 Mbps vs XP+ 12 Mbps. Standard play 7 Mbps. Long play 5 Mbps.) So buy a cheap 2TB hard drive and go for it. The R11 features a range of digital effects, light balance settings and special…

I bought this kit from my local Costco for $379. I currently use a very good Panasonic 3CCD miniDV SD camcorder and an iPhone4 for 720p video. It should be better than both. I only use iMovie ('10) on the Mac and haven't even bothered to use the software that came with it. So the following are my observations when using this camera: *poor low light performance, lots of noise *poor optical image stabilization *poor image quality for motion, lots of jagged edges *default bitrate set to fairly…

Well I haven't had the cameras long but they are already packed and ready to be returned. I've been looking for a replacement for my JVC GR-D72U for a while and have narrowed my list down to three. It wasn't even on the shortlist. Why did I buy it? It was sold at Costco for $355 including a Canon case, 4GB SD card and HDMI cable. They stopped delivering them and that was the last. It was a new, sealed block. Considering the MSRP for this camcorder is $699, I thought it was worth a try at that…
