Canon Vixia HF M32

I was a big fan of last year's mainstream Canon flash HD camcorders, the HF200 series, and much of what was great about them remains--solid performance and very good video quality. That's probably why I'm doubly frustrated by Canon's attempt to...

Very good video at highest quality setting; nice lens performance

Poorly designed touch-screen menu system; short battery life; defaults to low-quality video mode

At its best, the Canon Vixia HF M3x series--composed of the M300, M30, M31, and M32--delivers a very good blend of video quality, features, and performance for the money, but some people may find the touch-screen interface extremely frustrating to use...

Review: Canon Vixia HF M32

Canon Vixia HF M32

This Canon HDV camcorder is built to be durable, strong and comes with outstanding features. Using the Canon Vixia HF M32 will provide you with high image quality, just not the best we have seen available on the market. If strong dual shot capabilities...

Great Camera So Far

We've really liked this camera so far. We bought it when I was pregnant and so far have not been disappointed. Makes great HD videos and does pretty well in low light. (I don't have a lot to compare it too but I've been decently satisfied with my low...

CANNON HD

I bought this for my daughter for graduation and she loves it. She was a film student and worked with the best equipment and this little camcorder will allow her to continue making movies in high def. The acc. package is a great deal too.

Good 1080p camcorder for a good price

I bought this product for personal use. It arrived on-time, the packaging was retail and as expected. So far I have had this a few months and very happy with it.
