I've only used it a handful of times. I'm no expert when it comes to running a camcorder so it was pretty simple to get started. It has special features where I can enter my babies birth date and it will keep track of her age on the device.

1080p looks great on youtube. I use this to record DIY tutorials on cars & trucks! Also is pretty durable. I've dropped it from 5 feet and the screen has yet to snap off!

I bought this camera because I film in an environment where light values are constantly changing. I have found the HFR70 to be quite good at handling such changes. Admittedly, from the beginning I was put off by its small size and flimsy feel but have really changed my mind. The camera is excellent, and extremely easy to operate. I have two young children and they take great pleasure in the simplicity of operation. I take comfort in knowing they can't easily erase film already taken. The price is fair for the value. I would recommend this camera to anyone wishing to capture family events in or out of doors.

I bought this recorder as a back up to the go pro. I could not figure out the go pro so I used this canon. It was the easiest thing I have ever used and the image quality was absolutely stunning. the zoom brought the images right up to my nose and was perfectly clear no matter how far away it was. it recorded in almost zero lighting. and the photos it took was far better that any small hand held camera I have ever owned. I highly recomend this VIXIA HF R70 to anyone looking for simple better all in one.

Miss my HF M31.I had it for 6yrs and It died suddenly after left in a freezing car. Canon said they no longer service this model and suggested the HF series. I purchased an HR 62 and what a letdown. Unable to take still photos with flash assist, no remote activate(need smart phone It feels chintzy and protruding battery hinders operation,no photo button on top The screen navigation is cumbersome .I now need to take my still camera on projects when the M31 did both satisfactorily . Don't know of any flash assist in any other models. Canon took a step backwards with this series.

Just bought this camera before me and my wife's oldest son graduates and always wanted a camera again since my Sony 8mm's died and this is my first canon ever, and I have no complaints, still haven't read instructions bit already figured out a lot of things like a new iPhone. Great quality, light, and love I can control from an app when recording, even from another room. No nightlight or night vision but hay, I haven't read manual yet so that can be an add on. My cell phone has a light anyway so no big deal!

Amazing Video at Every Age and Every Stage
Impressive image quality, amazing zoom power and a host of convenient features make the VIXIA HF R70 camcorder a smart choice, even for parents new to videography. You can record up to six hours of video to the 16GB internal flash drive or to a convenient removable SD memory card. Revel in the flexibility and range of the camcorder's 57x Advanced Zoom, which helps you capture distant subjects without intruding on the scene. Image quality remains smooth, clear and steady thanks to a SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer. Even keeping faraway subjects in the frame is easy with Zoom Framing Assist, now available in both Auto and Manual modes. A newly added Highlight Priority Mode helps give your video the rich range of color seen by the naked eye. The camcorder is as convenient as it is fun to use, with a new LCD screen that's brightly visible even outdoors in the sun and a redesigned user interface that makes it easy to shoot, navigate menus and view videos with large simple icons in a streamlined layout. Whether you're recording family vacations or your baby's first steps, the VIXIA HF R70 achieves image quality that's worthy of your precious memories.
57x Advanced Zoom
You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the VIXIA HF R70 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 ideal for formal ceremonies, animals in the wild, candid family videos and more. Available in manual mode, Advanced Zoom takes the camcorder's telephoto power from 32.5mm all the way to 1853mm (35mm equivalent) for amazing 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.
SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization
Canon's sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake quickly, 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 R70 camcorder stabilizes rotational camera shake. Controlling rotational camera shake - horizontal, vertical and roll axis - helps ensure smooth, virtually distortion-free video, even when you're walking while shooting.
Canon 3.28 Megapixel Full HD CMOS Image Sensor
The VIXIA HF R70 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 DV 4 Image Processor captures video at 1920 x 1080 resolution and helps provide outstanding imaging performance
The VIXIA HF R70 camcorder incorporates the powerful DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor for outstanding imaging performance. The DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor captures more light, for brighter, virtually 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 R70 camcorder's Dual Recording. It also enables built-in transcoding from AVCHD to MP4.
Record up to 6 hours of video to a 16GB internal flash drive or directly to a removable SD memory card
The camcorder's internal 16GB Flash Drive holds up to 6 hours of crisp, high-definition video safely and securely. With no moving parts, flash memory technology is able to withstand most 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 80GB or 30 hours. For added flexibility, you can even backup your video directly to an external hard drive by using the optional UA-100 USB Adapter.
