    This camcorder has lasted a long time. The only thing wrong is there an issue with the zoom on this model. It's unstable. I have to send mine in to the manufacturer for repair. Other than that I cannot complain. It works great.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Great camcorder

    My priority was a 20x lens. Because if you can'take see it can film it. Next was the battery life. Great camcorder mic. On it is better then g20.

    I make both short films and event videos. My six year-old Canon HD camcorder was getting long-in-the-tooth, so I needed to upgrade to a camcorder with similar but better specs. Sadly, this model simply does not hold up well with image quality. I've worked with much older Canon camcorders from the early days of prosumer HD and they had a much better picture. The video on this model is muddled and frankly un-HD. I've used 4K camcorders recently and they smoke this model's image quality by far. The one nice element I liked was the zoom ring. Many of today's camcorders don't have this element. Everything is mostly touchscreen which is difficult for me coming from the days of manual focus and zoom. This is not a terrible camcorder by any means, but with 4K at similar and lower pricing, that's the ticket.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
