Great product, high resolution, reliable, many features

We purchased the HF G40 to record wrestling matches for the wrestlers in our community. Over 20TB later we still love this camera! So many features one might expect in a high end recorder with aditonal festures like being able to upload the videos to our owb servers remotely. One issue (maybe we use the wrong settings) when using FTP to upload our videos, if a video is greater than 1GB, that video is uploaded and the camera will not upload anymore videos. Other than that, we love the camera.

It was really good for the 18 months that it worked

I purchased a VIXIA HFG40 in May 2018, I chose a Canon product because of the company's reputation for quality and its dedication to excellence. Initially, I was quite pleased with the camera. It worked as I had hoped and enabled me to capture some really nice video. Within a year, however, the main LCD began showing discolored vertical lines and the zoom would occasionally and inexplicably pull out from telephoto to wide angle. eighteen months, the main LCD stopped working entirely and the zoom consistently pulled out from telephoto shots.

Great Camera

Immediately I noticed great image quality. Solid built and balanced. It comes with a remote which is a big +. I really like the 3.5” flip out screen. And the mic input and headphone jack is a nice touch.

Great HD Camcorder

I brought this HD Camcorder for interviewing & special events. Wanted a HD camcorder with some prosumer features for the right price. The VIXIA HF G40 model fits my needs.

Wow! Truly impressive even in low light

Bought a month ago to start capturing high school soccer video in preparation for college clips (scholarship. Key factors were 1) low light capability and (2) ballpark cost not to exceed ~ $1,000. Have recorded many games now in daylight, under the lights and in unlit fields during sunset for uploading to team's website for review. Many compliments from other viewers. Could not be happier with video quality. Easy to use with Manfrotto tripod (viscous coupling both directions). I've been taking photos for 35 years and am fairly critical (a bit of a lens "hoarder"...always looking for better quality pictures), yet this camcorder satisfies. Pros: ease of use, video quality, weight, dual cards, touch screen with remote, viewfinder for sunny days. Cons: video upload software with MacBook is clunky, MP4 convert on camcorder is slow (converts at normal playback speed...an hour to down convert an hour video),

Excellent video and low light capability

I needed to upgrade my camcorder and needed something that could shoot videos in close quarters as well as farther distances without having to change lens. I also wanted an upgraded quality video that could perform well in low lighting. This camcorder met all of those needs.

Great quality, but slow and not ergonomic

I wanted a camcorder with at least 20x optical zoom *and* an electronic viewfinder. The options are limited, and this Canon seemed to me like a great option. I got a deal on a refurbished one and I'm glad I did, because it is just as if it were new. I haven't used it extensively but I did use it on a 2-week trip and so far I'm happy with the image quality and feature set, but pretty unhappy with the camera's ergonomics. First of all, it's big. I should have gone to see one in person before buying. I assumed it would be one of those little guys that fit in the palm of your hand, but it's not. It's the size of a very big eggplant, and it's heavy too. There seems to be a design flaw in the way the flip-out screen is engineered, because when carrying the camera around or taking it in and out of my bag, the screen just falls open by itself. One true annoyance is the placement of the power slider. I used to have a Sony camcorder that had its power dial located around the start/stop button. When you wanted to start shooting, you could slide the power ring and press the start button with your thumb, almost in one movement. The Canon has a slider on the top that goes from camera to off to media, and the slider is so loose that it easily gets moved inadvertently. I found this out the hard way when I put the camera in my bag fully charged and then took it out later to find that the battery was dead because it had accidentally been switched on. Add to this the fact that when you switch the camera on it takes a good 5+ seconds to be ready to shoot, and you have a piece of equipment that frustrates you every time you want to quickly shoot something. After fumbling for the on switch and then waiting for it to be ready, you've lost the shot half the time. So this may well be an excellent camera in many ways, but ultimately I'm too frustrated with its usability to be happy with it.

Great Cam

Upgraded from a G10 because I needed focus peaking because my eyesight isn't that good and needed to make sure my subject was in focus. I sometimes use instant auto focus in the outdoors via a LANC remote which is why I need the focus peaking.

Awesome Camera

This is my second cannon video camera, and I was very pleased with the video quality. However; the quality of the video is amazing. I film soccer games, and I am now able to see the numbers clearly on the jerseys.

Great value - great bundle

Great value! The cost of the tripod alone was greater than the difference between the camera alone and this bundle. Much better quality than I was expecting for the price.

superb video camera

I bought the G40 video camera several months ago. I use it for recording life stories. I have been doing this for over 35 years and found this camera to be the finest camera I have ever used. I sell a cd on amazon how to video a life story called "my living legacy". I tell people if they are going to start a video business or record a person's life story "Buy Canon".

Quality!!!

I have had my camera for about 3 weeks now and love it. I use it to record outside sporting events. There have been a few others also filming while I was there with much larger and more expensive equipment but the g40 provides better quality.

Awesome Action Camera

I started my career doing VLOGs with an HF20. The next camera upgrade was my old trusty G20. Then I passed on the G30 upon a rumor of a coming G40. It was well worth the wait. My cell phone started ringing off the hook. Competitors in motorsport business starting calling how I got shots at traditionally dark venues. I think most venues in the sport of Truck and Tractor pull are dark. But the results were garnering serious attention. The footage copies down to Windows easy enough. And editing this codec along with all my other Canon cameras is a snap. It is not uncommon for me to have up to 4 cameras at a time rolling still using a 60D for interview footage. If you are limited to dark venues, give this camera a try, you will not be underwhelmed. You will enjoy what footage you get.

G40 Bundle Has Everything Needed

This Equipment Bundle has Just about all I need to be doing the Videography I do. Only missing item was a Wired Remote, which I already have 2 of. Everything came in on time, and all items work as advertised. I already have a G30, and this G40 is an excellent Upgrade and Matching unit for my 2 Camera Shoots, and as a Back Up. The size of these Cams is really nice for just about everything. Not to Big & not to small. The Carry Bag is just large enough to stow all the Gear it comes with - NICE. Highly Recommend this Bundle.

Awesome pro features!

The low light performance of the G40 is second to none. The manual features are amazing! And, the frame rate choices, the 20x zoom lens, and assignable buttons are some of it's top aspects. In the past, cameras had features that others didn't, so a person almost had to buy 5 cameras for 5 different features. Not any more, this has it covered. Progressive filming, avchd, mp4, 60p, manual focus, low light, hot and cold shoes. Bravo Canon!!!

I absolutely LOVE this camcorder! I had been working with the G20 at my job but the G40 has a vastly improved design. The zoom lever sis better. The placement of the input ports is definitely a better arrangement. I do miss the internal memory, though.
