I am happy with the WiFi feature and the built in memory

Can't Really Beat it for the Money

This is being used as a secondary camera in addition to several others. It shoots 1080p @60 Fps as advertised...it's liteweight and a snap to shoot with. It connects seamlessly over wifi and you can transfer files directly over wifi connected to your laptop without having to connect a USB cable. It's low light sensitivity is not as bad as some have mentioned and it does provide a quality image. Add 32gb of onboard storage and the ability to seamlessly switch to an SDHC card makes the deal sweeter... Got this as a refurb for $ so how can complain?

won't do what I want to do

Previous generation videocams fed a video stream to a firewire connection. I simply assumed the Vixia would stream to its USB connection. But this videocam only streams to a Wi-Fi connection. Since I have no need for a Wi-Fi network at home, I attempted a simple point-point connection by adding an access point, but the access point doesn't support UPnP. The Vixia would make a connection but then disconnect reporting an UPnP failure. It is possible to use an expensive HDMI-USB converter, but I find HDMI connections to be a nuisance, and I don't feel like supporting HDMI. For me Adorama is an excellent business to work with for both buying and technical support reasons. I expect they'll readily accept my returning this camera to them.

This was a gift for my father and he loved it

This was a gift for my father and he loved it. He was impressed with all the features and bundle overall. He's only started with the set up and figuring things out, but it seems easy enough. Oh the picture quality is real nice and stability is excellent.

Canon HF R62 Camcorder bundle

Great price on this camcorder bundle. Happy with video quality of this unit. Just don't purchase this because of WiFi functions though, I just couldn't get WiFi to work. Disappointed with Canon for that

I am happy with the product

I am happy with the product seems to work as well as some others I have used in the past. Shot some christmas lights from a moving van and standing on street, the IS worked well. The focus seems to be decently fast to acquire and stay locked. Start and stop from tablet is nice for self recording not fast transfer but as remote works well have not tried it for distance but 15' or so is fiine. It is nice pocket size to cary along and shoot. Easier to control with mono or tripod.

Allot of wow in the palm of your hand

This is my fifth video camera and an inexpensive step into HD video. I was going to hold out for a 4K but gave in. The R62 is smaller and lighter than I imagined. Its super easy to set up and use. The video quality is excellent when the scenes are well lite. My Canon 60D DSLR takes great video but you really have to take time to set up the scene. With the R62 its point and shoot. The focus is fast, the zoom is smooth, the controls are simple and the battery life looks to be OK. The MP4 HD video I put up on the 50 inch looked great. Most people will be very pleased with this Canon HD video camera at this price point. My wife used it for about 20 minutes and fell in love with it. My only real complaints are there is no viewfinder, the display is hard to see in bright sunlight and putting up a date stamp is awkward. I had to download the documentation which is just OK. Go for it!

Easy to use out of the box

I wasn't really in the market for a camcorder. I've always been more of a DSLR person for capturing memories, but my wife insisted we get a camcorder. I told her she would have to figure out all the bells and whistles (ie: read the manual and explain it to me for change). Anyways, this camcorder is fantastic and super simple to use. SO far, it has worked great for us.

Outstanding image quality, zoom power that lets you shoot without interrupting the action, enhanced wireless connectivity and sophisticated capabilities: the Canon VIXIA HF R62 camcorder has everything you need to capture special memories and express your creativity through videography. Even at the long end of the huge 57x (32.5-853mm) Advanced Zoom, and even if you're shooting while walking, video is clear and steady thanks to the camcorder's SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer, while Framing Assistance helps you find and keep your subjects in the frame.

Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC make it easy to share images and video right away, transfer clips and images to other devices, livestream video, control the camcorder remotely, and connect to Canon's image management solution, the optional Connect Station CS100. You can record up to 12 hours of video to the 32GB internal flash drive or directly to a removable SD memory card.

The camcorder's Canon 3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Sensor and DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor capture lifelike video at 1920 x 1080 resolution; even fast-moving subjects are rendered with outstanding smoothness thanks to 1080/60p recording in MP4 (35 Mbps) and AVCHD Progressive (28 Mbps). Dual Recording lets you record in MP4 and AVCHD simultaneously, while built-in down conversion creates MP4 files for easy online sharing. Get creative with newly enhanced Slow & Fast Motion and Touch decoration.

57x Advanced Zoom
You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the VIXIA HF R62 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 R62 camcorder 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 R62 camcorder is equipped with a 3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor to capture your memories in true 1920 x 1080 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 DV4 Image Processor
The VIXIA HF R62 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 R62 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 32GB Flash Drive holds up to 12 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 96GB or 36 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 R62 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 R62 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 that lets 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 R62 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 camcorder 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 R62 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.
