I am the IT director for my church. After much research and comparisons I settled on the Canon Vixia HF G40. purchased this camcorder for the sole purpose of live streaming our church services. I selected this camcorder based on the features and reputation of Canon products.

I run a Youtube channel that is completely a one man operation and for a couple of years I used a DSLR camera that did alright, however the autofocus on it was really terrible. I decided to upgrade to this camera earlier in the year and it was the best investment I've ever made.

I have had my camera for about 3 weeks now and love it. I use it to record outside sporting events. There have been a few others also filming while I was there with much larger and more expensive equipment but the g40 provides better quality.

Upgraded from the G10. Noticeable improvement in quality. Using this for indooor sports and night football games. Would buy again.

This item looks smaller than what I image. No problem in using.

Bought a month ago to start capturing high school soccer video in preparation for college clips (scholarship). Key factors were 1) low light capability and (2) ballpark cost not to exceed ~ $1,000.

Love this camera great for videos. I had it for about 4 months now it does me wonders

I recently decided to purchase 2 cameras, based on consumer reports and reviews by friends. One was for myself and the other a good friend whom regularly makes videos. The next decision was where to buy these cameras. The camera itself provides bothoptical clarity and quality zoom performance.

I'm a pastor and our church doesn't have great lighting. I have found the picture clarity to be very good even in dimmer light. I also appreciate the ability to adjust the mic input level. Our mic output is pretty "hot" going into the camera.

We use the Vixia HF G40 as part of a 3-camera live sports webcast production. Our main camera is a Canon XA35 with SDI output. We compliment it with two Vixia HF G40 cameras that cost about half as much.
