VIXIA HF R500 Black

My brief experience so far with this camera has been very good. Lots of features (although the user interface on the video screen is a little clunky and not very intuitive). Biggest issue is no operating manual. I went online to get the manual but then...

I probably waited too long to buy a new digital video camera. The last one I had was a VHS-C type! I bought the Canon Vixia HF R500 simply because of the fact that it has an input for an external microphone......and the price was excellent. I want to...

I use a Canon Vixia G20 for work, so I was already a fan. I decided to purchase the 500 for personal use-- and I have only made a one-minute video with it, but I can already tell that it's wonderful. It is grainy in low light settings, unlike the G20,...

This was my first Canon purchase and I am very pleased. The camcorder is small, lightweight and very easy to use. I was able to fit it inside my purse. I would recommend this camcorder for starters. I plan on purchasing more Canon products in the future.

I am so far very pleased with the product. This is a new experience and using the camcorder to do the basics is going very well. I have a major complaint. Considering the price of the product I am very upset that it does not come with an operating...
