Great camera its a easy to use very rugged ,has several professional settings,its an exceptional device was going to get an 4K camera trust me,you don't need it, this is a very mature technology that will surprise you,the only thing that i hate is the tiny 3inch screen which is smaller than previous models (3.5inches),also won't do relay recording while doing 60p which is a bummer Canon !!!
Other than that im very happy with this camera,i love it i use it as my third angle.

I love this camcorder, it captures videos in my studio with ease and works amazing with Apples iMovie. Well worth the purchase for those who want a good camcorder for youtube videos who may be on a budget.

So I own a lot of Canon G40 cameras and I saw that BestBuy discontinued it. Well supposedly this was the new version of that. Well it really isn’t. So what they did was took WiFi away which is fine I don’t use it anyway. The thing I didn’t like was the resolution for the screen. It’s a LCD screen not LED like the g40 so I’m recording 1080p ona low res screen. I didn’t really like that. So I returned it and bought a used G40.

The Canon G21 is a great “Pro-Sumer” quality video camera. The ability to record in both AVCHD and MP4 makes for easy editing on Mac systems.

A lot in a relatively small package. We use it on a tripod for recording and live streaming and works well. Lots of capabilities with many menus so a little intimidating at first. First thing you need to do is down load the Users manual since it does not come written.

I am a professional cameraman. Bought this as a backup camera for interviews and some b-roll. The sound captured by the camera microphone was tinny.
I opened the box and ran a text to see if it worked by plugging it in. I recorded 30 seconds and ran a test. I was disappointed in its performance. I returned the camera. Best Buy charged me a 15% restocking fee even though I returned in within 1 hour after I bought it.
Disappointed in camera and Best Buy.
