    Great prosumer type camcorder. Light weight and fairly easy to use. Takes very good video in all formats. Lots of settings available. The touch LCD makes it fairly easy to navigate menus. Will now be taking lots more videos.

    This camera has been amazing, I never thought my videos could look so good. I use it for disc golf videos, the quick zoom and clearness of a disc flying through the air at a high speed is better than any camera me or my friends have ever seen. I would recommend this camera to anyone who appreciates high quality and easy to use features. It's fun to use and has great options. It's small enough to carry in the cup holder of my back pack.

    This is a great camcorder with amazing quality of the videos. It is extremely easy to use even for people who are not tech savvy. My only complaint and recommendation regards the battery life as it will barely last the length of A high school soccer game. I would recommend buying an additional battery or updating to a better battery. Saying this, I would absolutely buy this camera again

    I love this camcorder! Be sure to buy a extra battery becuase if you recording on HD it will kill the battery fast. Would give it five star but you can only charge the battery if the entire camera is plugged in so I had to purchase a separate battery charger.

    This video camcorder is MUCH better than the two previous camcorders I've owned. It has features very similar to my digital 35mm camera, so I can choose between several options for setting the camcorder for specific shooting situations. I highly recommend this Canon video camcorder.

    We have been most impressed with the automatic image stabilization and the quality of the output image. Chasing a toddler around leads to a lot of camera shaking. The generated video is impressive given how much movement goes on.

    I'm using it for live streaming for my church. I got it open box so I had to hunt down some parts that weren't included, but I got it at a big discount so I didn't mind the leg work. Very good camera with a good light sensor which is crucial when doing that sort of thing. I've bought two of these over the years (one for a previous church) and they are excellent.

    I am extremely pleased with the purchase of my new Canon VIXIA HG G20 I like every thing about it. The quality is very good and it exceeds my expectations. The team at Best Buy was very helpful and professional. I would certainly buy this camera again and will not hesitate to recommend it.

    I bought this camera because my dslr's didn't work very well in low light situations without the use of supplemental lighting. The Vixia was the perfect solution to this problem and the image quality is great.

    I previously/still own the G10. I bought this to replace the G10 as my main camera and will still use the G10 as a second camera. I have used them side by side on several outings and find the low light performance on the G20 to be much better. Being familiar with the menus and controls on the G10, the G20 was super simple to use - there was no learning curve. Definitely glad I upgraded.

    I really like how the video looks and some of the different effects. It starts up quickly. The only complaint I have is the battery doesn't last very long. I would recommend a spare.
