I am a musician and I needed a camera that could record in excellent HD quality and also allow me to record for a long period of time.
Everyone was telling me to go with a DSLR camera,yea they are awesome but they still are primarily for taking pictures and for my long hours of
High definition recording purposes in the video format those cameras would be a waste of money and not a smart move. So I was looking for a solution,
A camera that could give me extremely great results like a DSLR and record for hours. In short this camera certainly does that,I have only scratched the surface with the camera
but it has given some excellent results. Once I make some new videos I'll certainly be posting them. The first day I got the camera I recorded my brother covering a Johnny Cash track
and I used the 70's film effect to give the video an old school feel. I sent the video in to my final cut and my old settings were that the video should give me an output of 720 P,anyhow
for my new videos I'll change the out put to 1080P on my final cut to deliver the full quality. So I uploaded that video and the results were excellent,the built in camera even caught the sounds
extremely well.
The build quality is excellent,and its very comfortable on the hands while it is being held. The touch screen has a great response,although at times your fingers can have a hard time in clicking on something you
specifically want but that's a very minor thing and it rarely happens. I would highly recommend that you get extra batteries for this camera,personally I bought the Wasabi Power Kit. This Wasabi Power kit includes 2 batteries and 1 charger for the Canon BP-827,
the batteries are excellent and the charger is excellent too. These batteries are built well,they work properly and each battery gives you about 4-5 hours or more recording time in the highest video quality on the camera. The Wasabi power kit is also very easy on your pockets,my suggestion is do not waste cash on those Cannon Batteries,you'll thank me later for recommending these to you. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049VMMZ2/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the link for the Wasabi power pack.
The built in memory is excellent and you get two extra slots to place in your desired SD cards in each slot for more memory if required. The camera is also very user friendly the manual is presented and explained properly. You even have an option to connect an external mic in to the camera,Canon has some of its own mics that you can buy separately but you can also connect your own desired mics in to the camera. There is even a mini advanced shoe for the placement of the mic on top of the camera. In conclusion I highly recommend this video camera,this is a consumer based product that gives out an extremely professional video output. Canon have done an amazing job on this camera and I absolutely love it.
I shot some test video around the house and the pictures (video) is very good. I like the fact that you can adjust so many things such as zoom speed and the such. Some have complained about the touch screen. I suspect they are used to the touch screens on their phones. When you're shooting video however, a very sensitive touch screen could be a hassle. You could inadvertently change settings while you are shooting, possibly costing you a great shot. I'll stick with the deliberate effort needed to change screens and scroll, over the possibility of losing a shot.
The Pixela software is horrible. Caused a registry repair to be triggered and there is some kind of problem with other parts of it. I had to uninstall it because my computer was acting so crazy. This is not my first issue with their software, I had problems with their software for my Canon 7D also. I run Win 7 Pro with 4 gigs of memory and three 1 terabyte hds. Save yourself the hassle and don't install it at all. You don't need it and it's interface is odd. No clear paths to copy videos from the camera to your computer.
I will post updates as I go as I am shooting some beach video on Friday and will report back.
Update : Aug. 29, 2014: Too cloudy to traipse the beach for a shoot. But one thing I've run into while learning use the camera is the memory card issue. If you are in the Auto mode, you can only record to the internal flash drive. If you want to record to and SD card in either slot A or B, you must be in the Manual mode. Why? It would be very helpful to use the SD cards instead of the built in memory. There may be a technical reason for this, but I believe Canon could make the changes with an update to its software. The manual on this camera seems quite complete and I'm learning a lot as I go. I have no use for the cinema modes, but they seem to be well liked in other reviews.
Yet Another Update: Aug. 30th: I've played with the camera quite a bit now. Shot some test video and am very pleased. The videos are sharp and the colors are great in the automatic mode. I like that you can switch between Auto and Manual so easily. Great (manual) for focusing in trickier situations. If you are following the Rule of Thirds and your subject is offset from center, you can focus on them and the background is just that, background. One small pet peeve involves the manual mode again. I like to have the grid bars on the screen so I tell at a glance if the picture is level. Not available in Auto. Seems as if it would be easy enough to do this. A level picture looks better and it would save you some time in post.
All in all I am very pleased with the camera. It has a good price point for what it does and how well it does it. If your needs are greater than what this camera can give you, you are going to have to step up substantially in price to get more features. Keep in mind while it's nice to have many setting options, most people will settle into a shooting pattern that doesn't use every feature most of the time.
This camera has two zebra settings for exposure and a lot of other odds and ends, that once set, will not be touched again by most people. So much can be done in post with good editing software, that many "mistakes" can be corrected for later.
Always shoot with your mind's eye on taking the best possible video you can with the standard settings and then all the rest is almost a bonus.
For many people this camera is going to fulfill their needs and still give them the flexibility to experiment.
Highly recommended.
April 20015: After about 6 months of various levels of use, my biggest complaint is that the fold out screen is virtually useless in bright sunlight. I've bought various shades and hoods but have resorted to using a black towel over my head when shooting in bright sunlight. Otherwise, I like the camera even more than I did. I've sold a few videos and am quite impressed with using it in various conditions. I use Auto and Manual modes, never the Cinematic modes. That's just my style of shooting.
I guess you can already tell that I use this mostly for traveling. However, I also use it to create videos and movies and this still doesn't beat most of cameras and camcorders out there. I have a Sony NEX-5TL Mirrorless Digital Camera (or something a little bit below that) and it records better videos than this camcorder. The touchscreen is a pain in my bottom, It's like we're back in 2008.
There are better and cheaper video camera out there, or just get a smartphone all together.
The only positive thing I can say is that it looks cool and professional. When I'm using it people will look at me and become self-aware like i'm a videographer goddess. Lol, anyways. Decisions decisions
