Canon Vixia HF R300

With its 32x zoom lens and sharp video quality, the Canon Vixia HF R300 digital camcorder strikes an excellent balance between performance and price.

Lightweight. Long 32x zoom. Solid image stabilization. Sharp high-definition video

Cumbersome touch controls. Average low-light performance

Though it lacks the "Pro" designation found on the M50, the R300 is a capable shooter, capturing crisp and clear high-definition video. You can choose from three shooting modes—Auto, Manual, and Cinema—with the latter simulating the look and frame rate...

Excellent Pro/Semi-Pro Backup Camcorder

This camcorder gets stellar reviews from Professionals and Semi-Professionals alike, especially as a backup camcorder. BH reviews have it at 4.4-stars, with the majority of lower ratings usually given by casual users or by people who complain about...

Fantastic in every way. External microphone and headphone jack on a camera currently sellig at 139? Even at list price, this camera is a bargain...as a Refurb, it is somply the only choice for serious videographers and casual users alike

Non-threaded lens barrel. Battery life, but, get a Wasabi battery set (2 per package + charger) for a third the price of a Canon extra capacity batteryand away you go...happy. For this camcorder, for this price, there aren't any other cons.

Not such a good deal

I thought this would be a great deal, but it hasn't worked out that way. I think I can still return this. IF I can, I will.

Cheap

Canon Vixia HF R300 Camcorder

Auto mode works great for the casual user, but the camcorder's high end features require switching into manual mode and understanding the system's tree-structured menu that involves the 3 function keys that launch the on-screen menus. The screen...
