Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

This camera is replacement for our older camcorder made by Sony. I did not have chance to use it enough to comment on all features of this camera. It is easy to use, it is well balanced and controls are easily accessible. Only problem we have is that this camcorder is not recognized by our iMac computer, which is used for editing of our movies.



5 out of 5 stars Not much to say   January 8, 2009
Librado Guillermo Reyes Palacios (Calexico, California United States)
There is not enough praise for this camera.
You heard it all, and it's true.
In HDV is the best bang for your buck.
Grab it while they last.

The camcorder was a Christmas present for my son. He loves it!!!! It works great. The order came before Christmas, even though we were a little late placing our order.
