Bought 10 of these for my high school video class. 3 years later, 8 still going strong. These are used daily by 160 students. Very durable.

I have had this gem for a little over half a year and can't think of any thing negative to say about it other than that it sometimes has issues with inexpensive mini SD carriers. Having researched extensively I can assure you that you will not find another model by any manufacturer with this many features for this investment. I have found it to be quite durable as I use it extensively to video my son's high school band playing at athletic events. Mounted to a solid tripod it will produce results competitive with others many times the price.

I've had HF R50 for about a year. Haven't used it all that much, but when I did it was not all that great, vary hard to see screen in direct sun light and controls are not easy to use. Now it will not play back, tried every thing in controls. No use. This is a BAD choice in cameras. My last canon video camera lasted over 10 years. Now this is my last Canon camera...

Surpassed expectations. Compact, lightweight, extremely easy to use, playback video quality better than any of my previous cameras. Cool feature is the ability to quickly transfer internal video to an SD card....which we hand off to coaches for game reviews.

This camera is not user friendly when uploading videos. It comes with no instruction manual, must go online to get. Salesman that sold it to me said just plug into computer and it's all automatic.

I was having problems with camera motor noise when recording with the camera's built in mics. I called Canon tech support and learned that if I used an external mic, the noise would go away. The key is that the external mic has to HAVE ITS OWN POWER SOURCE (i.e battery. I bought the Polson PLM-10 mic and it made the improvement in my sound quality. I'm right handed and I found the left handed LCD panel was a little awkward to navigate. That's a small adjustment for me to make. The WiFi control is a nice feature to have. There is a few second delay when using the Pixlea Camera control with my iPad, but its minor.

Hello, This is a great Camera, do not think that just because people give it a bad review that it is a bad camera. I have read the bad reviews on this camera and 100% of the time the bad reviews are due to the user being lazy and not wanting to learn how to use the device. When i first started using the camera i had issues too until i read the directions. Great camera, good features and great quality. I would recommend this camera.

Have owned Canon VIXIA HF R50 for two weeks. Each time I record a video and attempt to transfer it to PC, it fails. I am following instructions. My only solution is to attempt to return this camcorder because my purpose is to record and replay on computer. Otherwise camcorder is useless to me.

I cannot speak to the Wi-Fi features as I had no interest in using them. Computer connectivity is not an issue since I added a SD card for storage and just remove that for uploading files to my PC. That all said, the images are bright and crisp. I shot over 70 minutes worth of video and then watched them on the camera. After all that the battery still said it had over 20 minutes of usage left. The setup and menus are fairly easy to navigate. I have never owned such a device and I was shooting good looking videos in short order. From my research all such devices suffer the same problem: windy conditions make the audio recording poor at times if you are standing more than about 6 feet away. Mine was on a tripod recording me in front of it and when the wind gusted, the recorded sound suffered. I have since bought a clip on microphone with a 20 foot cord and that problem is solved. When recording while holding, the camera's microphone worked well no matter how much wind was blowing. It all comes down to what you plan to use it for. ;-) No matter what, the image quality is great and that was the main purpose of my purchase. It is light in weight and at first I thought is might be broken out of the box since there was a rattling coming from inside. It might be the coming from the lens cover's two plastic pieces - it is hard to tell. In any case, the camera works flawlessly. As it says in the title, this camera works for me.

Networking features are not useful. Ergonomics are not good.

I bought this camera specifically for the ability to connect when I am not home and to use my Android phone to control the camera. Problem is, after DAYS of trying, the APP still can't recognize the camera. I've followed the directions 100% and it still isn't working. I am going to return the camera if these features can't be used the way they were designed.
