    Great Camcorder - but Viewfinder difficult

    This is a great camcorder - takes great videos - only bad drawback is if you are filming an outdoor activity/event the view finder is very difficult to see when recording. So you'd have to go by the stroke of luck to ensure you got the video. But the video quality is outstanding - this camcorder is probably better suited for indoors rather than outdoors though.

    Awesome camcorder, affordable, and the HD quality makes it perfect for YouTube or podcasting. I returned a previously expansive camera, only to find all the functions I was looking for in this little, but impactful canon. I would recommend this even for professional recordings. Great buy and thankful I made the purchase. Almost forgot, you can also expand the memory to record multiple hours of video.

    I think this will be a good camera. I haven't used it yet, The negative is the fact that it does not have internal memory.
