this model performs superb and the 1080p captured video are impressive; the stabilization works extremely well, compared to video captured on an iphone which used previously.

I bought this a couple of months ago and I will have to say this is one of the best investments I have ever had. Love that it has cinematic filters and It is great. It also has a headphone jack that you can monitor and even change the sensitivity of the mic if you want, which is great. They have sounds from just being in nature settings to being in a crowed at a band concert. By the way, it has pretty good bass for the music settings of the audio presets. And another thing is if you love taking pictures and video taping at the same time then this is the camera for you because you can do both. Also there are so many filters to chose from and it also has a mic input if the mic setting don't please you. So give this camera a try and you won't regret it.

I needed a video camera in a big hurry, and it had to work out of the box. This did (after a 7 hour battery charge). I captured the dignitaries, my wife thinks I am a hero, and I have a device that I hope will last for years. The image stablization is great, the audio is good. A fun, effective purchase.

This a rush purchase to document a workship when the vidiographer fell thru. Overnight mail, and a 7 hour battery charge, I mounted it on a tripod and got the dignitaries. The event sponsor (my wife) was happy with the results, And I could even edit the results easily. Both video and audio recorded well, and I had plenty of memory space. I used AC for power. Adorama did not have the complete kit with filter, added battery etc. So I will have to purchase that later.

I make how to videos for my Business and I use multiple cameras. I use an R10 and a R72. I like the features of the R72 better than the R50 but then again it is the more expensive of the two. I plan on adding a third camera and it will be another R72. I only used it once outdoors and the viewing lenses was difficult for me to see but I handle that with a field monitor. I?ve never had good luck with an LCD screen out doors with anything so if you plan on casual outdoor stuff were a field monitor is not an option get a G20. It?s a lot more money but it has a conventional style viewer with an eye cup as well as an LCD.

This is a good camera but if you are planning to use it outdoors or in tricking lighting forget it. When outside on a sunny day the viewing screen becomes totally black and you really do not see what you are recording no matter what angle you tilt the screen. The viewing screen becomes black and all you see is your reflection. You will have to aim it towards the action and hope you are getting it. Sad. I really like the video this camera produces but it is all hit and miss. I am looking if there is a screen to block out the daylight from the screen so I would know what I am recording.

Tried different cords, computers, trouble shooting and apparently this camera was designed to lock all videos tightly on to which ever memory system I choose. I should have bought the Sony.

We recently purchased 2 of these for our Street Crime scene technicians. They were very easy to use and set up. Main issue is when we went to download Video the computer we were using in our digital Darkroom was not compliant with the Camcorder. it needs to be Windows 7 or better. Somewhat of a new learning curve but it will be fine after we upgrade computer system.

57x Advanced Zoom
You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the VIXIA HF R72 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.

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 R72 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.

DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor captures video at 1920 x 1080 resolution and helps provide outstanding imaging performance
The VIXIA HF R72 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 R72 camcorder's Dual Recording. It also enables built-in transcoding from AVCHD to MP4.
