        Comments about Canon VIXIA HF R32 Full HD Camcorder:

        I bought this camcorder to replace an old Sony DV unit for my mother's birthday for use on our latest trip to Disney. I must say that in its small, lightweight form, it really does produce nice movies. It's very easy to use, and it is mom-approved. The only complaint i have is its low battery life with the stock battery on the highest settings. With image stabilization and the highest HD recording quality, the battery will only last about 30 minutes. But after speaking with Canon, they actually said that's normal with the settings selected, and told me to get the higher capacity battery. Other than that, the camera is really nice and worth the price.

        Comments about Canon VIXIA HF R32 Full HD Camcorder:

        I used this camera to record a graduation. It worked great, zoom feature, playback, image quality, image stabilization. All worked well. I purchased this for the amount of internal memory it has. I did not want to have to worry about running out of space on an external card. It is very compact. The zoom buton took alittle working for its size.
