Comments about Canon Canon VIXIA HG21 High Definition 120 GB Hard Drive Camcorder with 12x Optical Zoom, 200x Digital Zoom, 2.7" LCD Screen:

Very easy to learn controls. Excellent imaging and an extremely long record time on hard drive. With a hard drive I am concerned about any jarring or vibration. Hard drives do not respond well to any abuse.
