 Excellent Camcorder! July 22, 2010
S. Osornio (Los Angeles, Ca)
The camcorder takes great 1080p movies and excellent handshake technology. The camcorder is small and lightweight even with adding a larger battery, the clarity of the end product is what I expect from a camcorder at this price range. I expecially like the dual memory card functionality and that you can use the second one as backup or overflow of first media card. I also bought the macthing carry case from Canon and it is excellent quality as well, very lightweight material and enough room to store all your accessories. I would definately recommend this camera to other people, my only small gripe is the touch screen is not that accurate and you seem to have to press a little hard to make selections but again this is minor gripe in comparison of all the things they did well on this camcorder from Canon.

Great product, delivered in a timely manner. It is much better than my previious HiDef camcorder (another make.) Easier to use and has many more features at about the same price. as the other.
 Can't download pics to PC when on the road!! June 5, 2010

Defect number 1: To download pictures from the camera to the computer, a utility is required. The built in 32Gig storage does not simply show up as a USB drive when you connect the camera to a PC with a USB cable. This is a serious inconvenience and a puzzling avoidance of a basic ease of use, portability and flexibility mechanism.
Defect number two: Adding insult to injury, the utility to download pictures to the computer is *not* freely available and downloadable from their drivers and download page. The updates to the ZoomBrowser EX 6.5 utility, a bunch of documentation, etc. are all available but not the actual utility itself (Zoom Browser EX). When I called up tech support they offered to *sell* me the utility!!! ....and MAIL (as in physical) it to me on a CD!!!! Yes this in the year 2010.
So you can buy a $1,000 plus camera and be stuck unable to download pictures to a computer if you do not happen to have the CD with utilities that was included in the box. The utility can't be emailed to you (which would be bad enough) it has to be physically mailed on a CD to you.
This is the moral equivalent of a capital crime or criminal insanity in consumer electronics in this day and age.
I intend to avoid the company's products in future and advise all to look carefully into this matter and do the same.
Canon:
You can fix this simply by putting the utilities necessary on the download site. Not just the upgrade to it. We'll understand. Everyone makes dumb mistakes from time to time. The better among us recover, acknowledge, correct and move on.
 Sexy Machine June 1, 2010

Just wait until you get your hands on this hot, sexy machine. It shoots brilliant HD quality video and has a touch screen that will make you want to touch it all night long--just like in that stupid Lionel Richie song. Most important of all, chicks dig this camcorder. Showing it off in public has already paid "dividends" for me, if you know what I mean.
Beautiful video quality. May 26, 2010

Lightweight and functional design. Beautiful HD video. Excellent face tracking. Terrific image stabilization. I loved this camcorder! That is, until I tried to install the additional SD cards. Once in place the cards would not eject! I was finally able to force them out but thought I might destroy them in the process. Tried the same cards in my wife's point and shoot camera and they ejected just fine. This is purely a mechanical problem with the SD card slots but on a $1,000.00 camcorder this is unacceptable! I was so pleased with the performance of the camcorder that I am sending this one back and replacing it with the same model. However, if the second is defective I will find another camcorder. Canon you need better quality control!
UPDATE: Replacement unit has arrived and is working as promised - SD cards eject perfectly so rating has been upgraded.
