Image quality

 

Canon Optura

Manual focus ring; cameralike mode wheel; shutter- and aperture-priority modes available for video; optical image stabilization; excellent LCD and microphone; takes decent snapshots.

Canon's feature-packed camcorder shoots very good daylight footage but has reason to be scared of the dark.
