Extremely nice camcorder

I video our church services each week which includes southern gospel singing with a verity of musical interments, and The Spoken Word from our Minister. I started out using a Nikon D5100 which does a nice job, but limited file size to 20 minutes at a time. I got the Canon Vixia HF M50 to do that job. The M50 gives me continuous video without having to start it over and over again. Our services are normally about 1 ½ hours long and with a 32GB Card I can get about 2 ½ hours of shooting time. With the M50 I have 8GB Backup memory built in. I really like the fact that I can use external power rather than relying on the battery for the indoor low light recordings. I have done 3 services with the M50 so far and I am very pleased with the camera. The HD video is great and using the on board microphone the sound just blows me way. I am told that using an external microphone will give me better quality sound but the sound that I am getting now will be hard to beat. One of the features that I like is that I can set the speed if the zoom. I tend to zoom too quickly and being able to slow it down is great. Once the video is done I like the ease of editing. I have multiple files but I do not have to re-sync the audio to the video anymore. All in all The Canon Vixia HF M50 has exceeded my expectations. An I have nothing but praise for the camera.
