"Superb optics! Great color, easy to use, focus is # 1."
Pros: Great steady shots with the quality picture you expect from Canon. No fuzzy picture with panning or a moving subject. Great instant auto focus. True life collors. All the buttons are in great position.
Cons: Not really any except I would expect to get a mini HDMI cable with it since there is a port for one, but not worth nocking them a point for it.
Summary: I have owned or used over 5 different brands of HD Camcorders over the past few years, most recently was the new Panasonic Hidef HD Camcorder and that thing was pathetic. I had 2 of them b4 I finally I returned it and got my money back. I did have the Canon Vixia HG 30 and loved it. I bought it after the panasonic, and after having a hard drive camera I didn't like going back to a mini dv like the hg 30. That was the only problem with it and when I learned that Canon was coming out with basically the same thing in a hard drive version, I returned it and waited for this one to come out.
It to me is in a class of quality all by itself. The color, clarity ( both still and moving scenes), the instant focus, fit in hand ( I have huge hands ), easy to use buttons. Easy menu to navigate. Great features.
I love to be able to grab it when the kids are doing something cute or funny, and within seconds it is recording. I don't have to worry if I am recording over something like I would in a min dv tape format.
All in all, it's the amazing steady clear shot, that doesn't go out of focus with every little movement, and the great color that is best about this camera.
