It is small which is what i wanted, fits in your palm. once my hand if fully in the strap, i have no problem using the zoom or on/off button. I do shake, but that is not the camcorder's fault. It probably is me, but i gave it a 4 because the screen is very hard to see in the sunshine. I am still learning how to hand hold it, but really like it. It adds a new dimension to my still photos.

I bought the Vixia HF R60 and I am pleased with all the bells and whistles that this little camcorder came with. For one, it takes absolutely clear and amazing video. I love the fact that I can use the Canon applications with my iPhone 6 Plus to transfer images and video on the fly, and allowing me to upload them on to other online services as well. Now that I have seen the potential of this little fella here, I am considering buying the top of the line Vixia! I am truly happy with this camcorder, and the basic functions I need the camera for.

Zooming in on distant subjects without disturbing the action has never been easier! With the huge 57x (32.5-1853mm) Advanced Zoom on the compact Canon VIXIA HF R60 camcorder, you can even shoot while walking with no fear of blur: the camcorder's SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer keeps video clear and steady, while Framing Assistance makes it easy to keep your long-distance subjects in the frame.
Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC let you share what you've captured right away, transfer videos and images to other devices, live stream video, control the camcorder remotely, and connect to Canon's image management solution: the optional Connect Station CS100.
The 8GB internal flash drive holds up to 3 hours of video, and you can also record directly to a removable SD memory card. Image quality is superb with the camcorder's Canon 3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Sensor and DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor that capture 1920 x 1080 resolution, and with 1080/60p recording in MP4 (35 Mbps) and AVCHD Progressive (28 Mbps), movement and detail are beautifully rendered.
Dual Recording lets you record in MP4 and AVCHD simultaneously, while built-in down conversion creates MP4 files for easy online sharing. Find exciting new ways to express yourself with the revved up new Slow & Fast Motion functions. And you can register up to 3 children in Advanced Baby Mode - the parental must-have that makes it easy to document a child's daily development.
Shooting is fun and easy with the camcorder's big 3.0-inch capacitive touch panel LCD, and with a quick touch of the new File Lock Function, you'll never have to worry about children or other users accidentally erasing your videos.

57x Advanced Zoom
You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the VIXIA HF R60 camcorder and its impressive 57x Advanced Zoom range. Long-range shooting allows you to create videos with dynamic variety, and is less likely to disrupt the action you're shooting. It's perfect for formal ceremonies, animals in the wild, candid family videos and more.
Advanced Zoom, available in manual mode, has been achieved with more efficient use of the effective imaging area. It takes the camcorder's telephoto power from 32.5mm all the way to 1,853mm (35mm equivalent) for extraordinary flexibility in shooting. For more convenient shooting and better creative control over your videos, the camcorder offers continually variable Zoom Speed settings, with 15 levels available.
Super Range Optical Image Stabilization
Canon's sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake instantly, so even handheld video taken at long focal lengths is sharp and steady. Providing continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion, with extra compensation applied at wide-angle focal lengths, the Dynamic Image Stabilization system on the VIXIA HF R60 stabilizes rotational camera shake. Controlling rotational camera shake - horizontal, vertical and roll axis - helps ensure smooth, distortion-free video, even when you're walking while shooting.
3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor
The VIXIA HF-R60 camcorder is equipped with a 3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor to capture your memories in true 1920x1080 resolution. Canon's advanced, high-resolution HD CMOS Image Sensor features extra sensitivity that delivers beautifully lifelike Full HD video with natural color, even in low light. On-chip noise reduction brings bright clarity to every frame. Video is rich, clear and amazingly detailed anywhere you view it, even when played back on a large HDTV.
DIGIC V4 Image Processor
The VIXIA HF R60 camcorder incorporates the latest and most advanced Canon HD Image Processor, the DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor, for outstanding imaging performance. The DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor captures more light, for brighter, noise-free images even in dark scenes. Dramatically increased processing power lets you record in both AVCHD and easy-to-share MP4 formats simultaneously with the VIXIA HF R60 camcorder's Dual Recording. It also enables the built-in transcoding from AVCHD to MP4.
Record to Internal Flash Drive or SD Memory Card
The camcorder's internal 8GB Flash Drive holds up to 3 hours of crisp, high-definition video safely and securely. With no moving parts, flash memory technology is perfectly able to withstand camcorder jolts or drops. You can also record to a removable SD memory card, making it easy to share your video with friends and family.
Conveniently sized and readily available, SD cards give you up to 64GB (24 hours) of recording capacity for a combined capacity of 72GB or 27 hours. For added flexibility, you can even backup your video directly to an external hard drive by using the optional UA-100 USB Adapter.
MP4 (35Mbps) or AVCHD Progressive (28Mbps) Recording
The VIXIA HF R60 camcorder gives you the highest quality recording, whether you're capturing MP4 or AVCHD files. 1080/60p recording captures twice the amount of information as 60i, and with images captured at a rate of 60 frames per second, diagonal noise is eliminated so even fast moving subjects show up crisply with motion and patterns clearly recorded.
This greater sense of detail and faithful rendering of moving edges, plus enhanced color and fine tonal gradation, gives your video everything Full HD has to offer. AVCHD Progressive records at a bit rate of 28 Mbps, which is the highest in the AVCHD standard, and MP4 files are captured at a bit rate of 35 Mbps, so regardless of the format you're shooting or viewing, image quality is as high as can be.
Built-in Wi-Fi
Built-in Wi-Fi technology on the VIXIA HF R60 camcorder lets you share your HD video with friends and family anytime, anywhere. Connect with compatible home networks, wireless hotspots, and iOS mobile devices using the free Canon Movie Uploader app. Videos and photos can be easily shared over the internet with a free registration on CANON iMAGE GATEWAY# - an online photo storage service thatlets you upload to social networking sites. And now you can use your PC to browse remotely through the previously shot videos stored on your camcorder, without connecting a cable. The Remote Browse function uses a standard Web browser and does not require a special app.
Compatibility with Camera Pan Table CT-V1
The VIXIA HF R60 camcorder is compatible with an exciting optional accessory that you can control with your mobile device - Camera Pan Table CT-V1. With your Wi-Fi enabled camcorde r mounted on the Camera Pan Table CT-V1, you can remotely monitor a viewing range of approximately 200 degrees with your smart device.
Using the Live Streaming of the VIXIA HF R60 camcorder, panning and recording can be powered by the pan table, or controlled remotely over the internet and the CameraAccess plus app. Flexibly designed to plug into an outlet or run on AA batteries, it also powers your camcorder. An energy-efficient stand-by mode awaits your command so you never need to worry about wasting or running out of power. With enough range to span two rooms, it's easy to check on pets or children while you're away for the day, monitor your home while you're on vacation and more.
