  • Awesome little camcorder
Color: Black Style: R800
For the money this is a amazing little camcorder. As someone else wrote, "READ THE MANUAL", because there's a ton of features that aren't obvious at first. The manual is 288 pages long and there's no wasted space. You don't need to read the manual to get started but you'll find all sorts of cool features and settings inside. (I printed the manual in double-sided, four pages to a sheet, and it ends up being only 32 pages long (but still readable). The PROS: The R800 is super compact- it would easily fit inside a standard pop can with room to spare- easily fits in a coat pocket. The camcorder is very light weight; no problem to hold it for extended periods of time. The screen is bright and clear the video seems very crisp. The onscreen menus are pretty intuitive and easy to navigate. You won't really need to use them much after the initial setup unless you want to do some fancy stuff or change modes. Quick startup, about 2 to 3 seconds from opening the screen and it's ready. A 64GB SD card will provide more than ~6 hours of recording at 24Mbps, or 34 hours at 4Mbps. For most uses 35Mbps and 24 Mbps will give you plenty of detail in the video. (35, 24, and 17Mbps record at 1920x1080 resolution, 4Mbps records at 1280x720). You can take still images (even while recording video) and a 64Gb SD card will let you store about 97,600 images at 1280x720. That's right: NINETY-SEVEN THOUSAND IMAGES!! (Not to be morbid, but at my age that could easily be a lifetime supply for me. lol) Slow-motion and time-lapse recording are built in, as are some basic fades and transitions. There are also some fancier photo effects (graphics, stamps, etc). The zoom is smooth and very controllable and the zoom speed is adjustable. I wish the zoom rocker-control went front-to-back instead of side-to-side. A front-to-back zoom control is much more intuitive than side-to-side. Shame on you, Canon, you're supposed to know something about how to design cameras. Not a deal-breaker, but a minor complaint. Face detection and tracking are built in. That may or may not be useful to you. The camera can convert video clips into time-lapse video (after they're taken). That's pretty cool. The camcorder can also take short video clips of variable length (e.g. take a 3-second clip with each button press). You can save parts of the video as still images. Also very handy. (page 15 in the manual) Framing assistance is a built-in feature. Check out what it does in the manual (page 59 in the manual) There's a built-in "lock video" feature to prevent anyone from deleting a video (think kids, cops, etc). The camcorder also has an optional 3-second "pre-record" feature that can capture 3 seconds of video *before* you press the record button. I suspect that will come in very handy. It records stereo sound, although the two microphones are only about an inch apart so I'm not sure how much actual left/right separation there will be. The built in lens shield (a mechanical shutter) is a good feature. The shutter is opened and closed with a small lever near the front of the camera. (I'll be attaching UV filter which will also act as a lens protector, but having one built in is good. (You always want to have something between the lens and the outside world. It keeps dust, water, bugs, etc off the lens and prevent scratches. You can either let the lens get scratched (which means a lot of time and $$$$ to fix) or let an inexpensive filter take the hit (~$20 to replace with a brand new one). The CONS: I sometimes find the record button a little difficult to reach depending upon how I hold it, but this is a minor issue. You cannot set what to use as the default memory to record to. Some of the Vixias allow you to set this, but not the R800. There's no WiFi capability so you can't stream to the internet (e.g. Bambuser, Camfrog, UStream, etc). The lack of WiFi capability is a real deficit. This camcorder is not meant for low light recording, but as long as there's some light you'll probably get usable video. If in doubt, use a lamp to help illuminate the scene. The LCD screen sensitivity could be a little better, but that's a personal preference; you may find it's just fine. The onscreen buttons could also be a little bigger in my opinion but you can use the eraser end of a pencil to tap stuff if you have big fingers or are wearing gloves. The various input/output ports (mic, USB, HDMI, etc) can only be used with the screen open; it would have been great if they could have placed them so they were accessible without having to open the screen. (Not really a big deal, but worth mentioning.) It can take a looooooooong time to charge the battery- almost 8 hours for the BP-727 battery, about 5.5 hours for the BP-718. Might wanna get an extra battery or two. The Canon manual says that before using the camera the first time, you should fully charge the battery and then let it run all the way down until it's dead. The batteries cost about $25 to $50 each depending on where you get them. That's not exorbitant but it's not cheap, either. (I've seen them as low as $15 apiece but who knows if they're any good.) Make sure you get batteries marked as "Decoded" or you won't get the "time remaining" display.) It's unclear if you can run power the camcorder from a powerbank gadget or not, and I'm hesitant to try it for fear of zorching the camera. With all that said, there's not much to complain about. I think this is an amazing little gadget for the price. If it broke, I'd probably go right out and get another one. (I got mine for $160 during Black Friday, but even at the usual price of $199 it's still an excellent deal in my opinion.) Finally, READ THE MANUAL- it's time well spent. ... show more

  • Some good, some bad, time will tell ….
Color: Black Style: R800
The media could not be loaded. First I need to explain that I have purchased several Canon cameras over the years, some better than others. Generally speaking, I like their products. For the last ten plus years, my primary photography (both still and video) has been to record my grandson growing up and making yearly videos. Because his sports and school plays seem to need increased video range (just beyond the reach of my “still” cameras), and indoor / outdoor versatility, I purchased this as my first camcorder. It’s pretty small - 5.4 inch long with battery, 2.3 inch tall, 2.1 inch wide & 10.8 oz with battery. You have to manually open/close the lens cover. I selected the highest video setting of 35Mbps (1920 x 1080) which allows 30 minutes of video recording for every 8 GB of memory so my 32 GB card has more than enough recording time for plays and games. The manual says the typical recording time on a single charge is 100 minutes, just short of the 2-hours recording time on my 32 GB card. Good match. I recorded my grandson’s lacrosse game today using a monopod to help stabilize the video while using the telephoto lens. The camera automatically turns on when you open the Touch Panel LCD. It does remind you to open the lens cover. With the record button and the zoom lever both near the rear of the camera, starting / stopping the recording and/or zooming the lens was pretty convenient. I left most of the camcorder settings in the default mode. Here are some of the pros and cons I observed for the first time out; Pros; - The video quality was pretty good, although the background seems a bit light while the players seem too dark. Of course this is personal taste. - It’s small, light and easy to use. - It seemed to have more than enough zoom power, and it zooms in and out pretty quickly. I believe you can modify the zoom speed. Cons; - The Canon software doesn’t really work with a Mac using High Sierra. I spent nearly an hour with their tech support, and we got it “kinda" working, but not that well. DOESN’T MATTER!! Downloading from the camera is painfully slow. I strongly suggest using a USB Memory Card Reader to transfer data to your computer. - The mic seems very sensitive and picks up a lot of wind (breeze) noise. In fairness I suspect that I will appreciate this sensitivity when recording a school play. - It was a sunny day so I couldn’t see squat with the Touch Panel LCD. It was both washed out and reflected my clothing/face/whatever back to me. After getting home I read the manual and found how to increase the brightness of the screen - hopefully that will help. For now I’m giving this product 3-stars - "It's OK". This rating may go up or down as I gain more experience. Update: 4-7-18 I got to video my grandson's second lacrosse game. While not quite as sunny as a week ago, it was still pretty bright. The increased rightness of the screen (as noted above) made a great deal of difference. Yes - it still my clothing/face/whatever back to me, but the screen was bright enough to see what I was videoing. Game changer! I doubt I could get a better deal on a quality camcorder so I'm raising my rating from 3-stars to 4-stars. Added a short video clip of my grandson's goal - reduced the quality (for Amazon and email) to 720p. Update: 4-29-18 So I recorded another lacrosse game. It was 10:00 am so the sun was high and bright and in my face. I wore a very light colored shirt that reflected against the LED screen again making it hard to see what I was videoing. WELL DUH! I lowered the monopod a bit and rotated the LED screen upward - problem solved! Funny how some simple things are so evasive. Also the display on the LED screen is indicating 120 minute (just over 2 hour) battery charge (+/-) - more than I expected and noted above. Amazon doesn't allow multiple video uploads, so I combined two short lacrosse clips from Apr 7 and 29 into one 20-second video. ... show more
