DOES THE JOB PERFECTLY BUT NO MEMORY

This is a good camcorder, loaded of good features, but unfortunately for a camcorder of such level, it's a shame not coming with an onboard memory.

Canon continues to excel

Used to record church events. Great lens and great HD picture quality. Limited zoom, but still good. HDMI output is great as is the onboard preview. Touch screen is much better than prior versions.

Canon VIXIA HF M500

I have used this camcorder to record rugby matches, and I was so impressed that I bought one for myself,for video while I work as a nature photographer with a large format still camera. I'm impressed by the image quality, and I've only used it in the MP4 range--we need to down-load it for use by referee coaches. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy using my own Vixia for nature videos in HD.
