If you put it in "Auto" mode it pretty much does everything for you - will take hi quality movies on its own. If you put it in "Manual" mode , then there is 150 pages of user's guide you must first absorb in order to take advantage of it's almost endless capabilities. Small , light , fits in your pocket just like a 35 mm still camera would. 48 Gig chip will hold about 8 hrs of video. But costs. The on board batteries will do about 30 min each , so you'd better have several. But they also cost. Over all , I am happy with it for the price.

I'll keep this short and sweet for you. If you're trying to break into vlogging or producing web show, than this camera is for you. the 24p feature coupled with the cine mode at 1080 will give your production a professional looking makeover. For outside I have this to say: BUY AN EXTRA BATTERY; they don't last long at all. Make sure that you buy a SDHC type 4 card so you can get the most out of this little guy. If you have a budget BUY THIS CAMCORDER
Overall, very pleased with the performance. This is an early model and I will point out one design issue that has been addressed in later models. The battery and SD card loads from the bottom, and thus, requires removing from a tripod to exchange. Also, the battery fits in a fixed size compartment, so doesn't allow for larger batteries. Later models place the battery on the outside at the back, so larger batteries can extend beyond the body of the camcorder.
This camera is almost perfect. First off, it's construction is very solid. It is all made out of metal and strong plastic. It is 1920 x 1080p, the highest quality made available to consumers, but it isn't necessarily crystal clear as other more expensive cameras. I purchased this camera because it has a jack for external microphones, it isn't usually seen in many handheld camcorders. I got it for $170 refurbished and I don't regret buying it!
Very Nice camcorder. Lots of great features. It replaced my mini dvd Hitachi which could only record 30 minutes on a dvd and was prone to glitches when moving or start / stoped. The Canon can record at least 2 hours of HD video with a 16 gig sd memory card!
