The Cannon Vixia G70 is a good 4K camcorder for beginners. It has automatic 6 in 1 lenses for anyone that wants to record video, but has little knowledge on changing lenses. The touchscreen is clear and easy to use. The camera feels very light and comfortable and the zoom buttons are very conveniently accessible. Overall it is a very good camcorder for beginners.
