Canon Vixia HF G20 Review

 

Canon's latest top-of-the-line consumer camcorder delivers great low-light performance with a side of déjà vu.

Those expecting a huge improvement over the HF G10 will be disappointed. The HF G20 builds on its predecessor's strengths and makes subtle, small improvements. Unless you're dead-set on shooting video with a DSLR, the HF G20 will fit the bill for...

Excellent!

 

Excellent quality (semi-pro), wide array of options for mics and mounts, intelligent interface. I actually used this for wedding videos and they turned out better than the my videographer's work

Perfect for my uses

 

I use this product for video depositions. While the activity demands very little of the camera's overall functionality, it checks off the boxes I need it to nicely. Shoots in AVCHD and records timestamping metadata; records to TWO SDXC Memory cards at...
