I purchased the M500 new at the end of 2012. I own a few GoPro HD cameras, but I wanted something better for when I wasn't strapping a camera to my helmet or to a moving vehicle. I wasn't sure if it would be worth the money to buy the Canon or any similar product versus just using a GoPro with a handle and an LCD screen add-on. The first time I uploaded some footage to my computer I was immediately convinced that I had made the right decision. I don't have to fiddle with settings in an editor to get beautiful video. The colors are vibrant, it handles low light well, the sound is pretty good, and it's easy to use. I have had numerous people ask me what camera I use after seeing footage from it. I've used it for time lapse footage on the manual settings and that worked well. I've owned it for over a year now and I have no complaints. It's been able to do anything I've needed it to do with minimal effort.Read full review
The pro sensor makes a huge difference in picture quality. I use the camera for inside events. Even though there is normal light, the fast sensor allows a faster shutter speed for less blur. This is my 2nd M500 for an additional angle in a 4 camera setup.

Hi,I bought this little power house to take with me on a Caribbean Cruise on board the Carnival Victory in November 2012.This camcorder performed way beyond my expectation although I did intense research on it before I bought it.Video quality is excellent even at the lower setting,it is true HD quality.Pictures are average in good light but this is not a DSLR camera.For advance users they are plenty manual settings also jacks to attach external mic also the sound can be monitor with external head phones.You won't be disappointed in low light conditions with this canon it is amazing.Optical zoom and stabilization is very good if not the best at a great price.Best value for quality and I would buy it again and will recommend it to everyone.
GreatCamera amazing auto focus and picture quality. Very user friendly!
