    We bought this camera for our two boys. It's great. Very lightweight and easy for a beginner to use. The built in microphone is good and it records pretty well in low lighting.

    Bought this for church streaming. It has helpful features and somewhat intuitive. If you have questions though you have to download a pdf file or view instructions online - you can't just read the manual and that is annoying when you are setting things up. The size is fantastic and easy to hold. Once you know what you're doing and what you want it's easy to be happy with it. I wish that I had considered the wifi enabled Vixia, remote control would have been something I would have liked to have.

    Good camcorder, works perfectly as described. My only issue is that I have big hands, and this is a teeny tiny camcorder that can be a bit awkward to use. My wife, however, has no complaints. Video looks good with multiple quality and mode options. Love that it has a microphone input. Connects easily to TV.

    Great for Live Streaming

    We use this as a Live Stream camera so we don’t record directly to it much. The HDMI out is super beneficial. I didn’t give it 5 stars only because I haven’t figured out how to get the audio input not to buzz. I’m sure it’s user error but it seems to be a issue I’ve seen o line with others. All in all it’s a great upgrade for live streaming, podcasting, YouTube and is less than half the price of the other cameras I was recommended. We’re happy with it.

    Bought this to record my daughter’s gymnastics competitions. So far it works great. Only criticism is that it seems a little out of focus at times, but it could be something I’m doing. I would recommend this product for purchase.
