I picked up two of these to use with our Church, and they provide two video feeds into a PC for streaming. Video is sharp and clear for a 1080p feed, although the focus can be confused at times when the backdrop closely matched to foreground. The zoom is great, and the camera itself is very easy to use. If you're looking for a basic camcorder that can get the job done easily and quickly, I'd recommend this one.

I was seeking a camcorder that we could use to record and live stream our videos. while it can do many of the things, it can only do them one at a time. You will need to download the manual to use it. First you can not use the wifi and record at the same time. I wanted a camcorder which I could clean output hdmi, mic in , and record which it did. But the remote function is not available while doing this. Other camcorders have the mic in and HDMI out on the back. This has it on the side which blocks the lcd display. If you are looking for a camcorder with a lot of features this will meet your needs, but it is NOT user friendly, and the wifi is useless

I got this a month ago. Wanted an affordable camcorder to record memories of our youngest. Easy to use! Only thing I wish it had was a light for low light situations.

I bought this camcorder to replace a previous model for filming my son’s Ice hockey games, and it does the job. I am also happy with the battery that allows me to film 2 back to back games of 45 minutes each game. The only thing I don’t like very much is the size of the video files being much bigger (5 times) than the previous camcorder.

I purchased this camera mainly to record my daughter's playing soccer. It does an excellent job. It doesn't blur the picture when I scan unless I go too fast. It has a good zoom.

Overall a very good camcorder. It doesn't have the more advanced features as its newer "cousin", but does a good job. Easy to handle and lightweight.

I purchased this camera for a church to be able to show live video of the service in an adjacent overflow area during covid restrictions. So far this camera has lived up to all of my expectations. Great picture, small size, easy to use and capable of transmitting live action through the hdmi output.

This was good in a pinch.
I was still saving up for the camera I wanted when I bought this.
Quality isn’t bad but it’s not great.
The microphone worked pretty good though and the battery lasts a decent time.
It’s nice and compact and very easy to use.

My biggest issue with this before I purchased was, with it being so light would I have a problem moving around with it having a bouncy picture? This camera preformed beautifully. No jitters, tracers or shadows works great. The added benifit is the night shooting. We ghost hunt and the dark vision scene works very well.

I bought this camera for my 9 yr old son who wanted a video camera to make videos of him and his friends to load to his YouTube channel. He only has 17 followers (all family), and he thinks he is hot stuff. He has quickly developed a passion for videography and I wanted to buy him his own personal video camera that he can get creative with, and this camera is perfect for him! It is a great price for the quality and performance you receive with any Canon product. This camera would be great for anyone who is looking for an affordable, “simple”, yet quality, video camera.

This camera is great! We use it to live-stream a church service. It's got flow thru HDMI so we can use it like a web cam. The quality of the picture is very good, and using the zoom is very smooth!

This camcorder does what it suppose to do. It records you can zoom in and out really good. The only downfall for me is as I'm recording I have no place to put my other hand so the video would be steady. My hand kind of rest on the battery but I don't want to make it week. Over all this camera is great and easy to use. The Velcro to make it stay on your hand is strong and trustworthy.
