Great quality, on SD cards (no more little discs!)

 

I got this camera this week on sale for $499 in Madison, WI, for an upcoming vacation later this year, to replace our old Sony cam that uses mini-discs and can't keep the audio up to the video now. Today I used the Canon for the first time at a hockey...

Video looks great

Great with 1st time use, but...

 

The first time I used it, or actually had a friend used it to record something for me, I noticed the picture quality was amazing with great detail and clarity. However, unless he had several hand spasms, I'm not sure if the image stabilization really...

picture quality, great value for price

Not sure if 24p worked correctly; and image stabilization

1/3 the size of our camera 10 years ago.

 

First thing to us was the size; USE of a memory stick vs. a round disc a few years back for storage.

Ease of operation & the use of a memory stick for storage

Excellent camera!

 

I use this camera for taping my daughters tumbling and trampoline meets. The picture is great, even with the fast action on the trampoline. With this camera I can video at the time and later review it and snap still shots out of the video. This camera...

Ease of use, good price, good picture and audio

occasional out of focus, no aftermarket battery

Just a quality cam

 

Primarily used for inside low light high zoom typically stage performances. Almost didn't buy it because of 10x zoom, compared with similar priced cams with much higher zooms. But then learned they get their high zoom ratio with a smaller image sensor...

Low light perf & image stabilization

10X optical zoom but it does much better

Great Canon Camcorder, Love it!

 

This is a great camera for any one, it's quality is clear video in day and good in low light, check out my video on utube "Free Born Man" Cole Park and Monte Gaylord and The Park Family Bluegrass Band," for a low light video, recorded by this Canon...

Great quality in light and very good in low light, love the touch screen

I would like more built in memory, and a paper manuel

Consumer review by:

How about a decent manual?

 

Nice camera, but the printed manual is next to useless - 30 pages, wow! You have to sit at the computer to view the full 240 page online version. How handy is that? How cheap of Canon?

Excellent Value

 

I don't have a lot of experience with camcorders except a very old one that used tape and my iphone 4s. While the iphone 4s had beautiful daylight video, it was horrible at night, didn't have a lot of space and couldn't zoom. This canon M50 is...
