Canon VIXIA HFM30- HD Camcorder Review

[MarthaStewartsFart]

You don't even know how much this video has just saved me, thank you SO GODDAMN MUCH!

[Treskate]

I just got one at a pawn shop for $150. Not bad.

[DeathSkwid]

Very nice. I got its little brother, the M300. I hope to improve my videos with the use of its manual focus and other features. Not saying where I am now is bad....

[KingJames2030]

great video

[Computegeek4567]

I want this were is the cheapest place I can get it

[ace13961]

what camera were you filming with?

[applektech]

@ace13961 Canon SX20IS

[ShazamVanBane]

I noticed u didn't show how to get onto the onscreen menu: BECAUSE IT'S HELLISHLY HARD TO FIND! I hate this camera, it's menu nightmare.

[ZahidSkateboards]

does this have a viewfinder?

[jalabi99]

I was going to go for a Canon VIXIA HF R10 but this video among others convinced me to get the M30 instead. I really like your mode of presentation, simple, straightforward, and yet you know what you're talking about. (Also like the end credits showing the product name and price, etc., great font.) Great job -- and I've subscribed!

WHY MUST II HAVE A TOUCHESCREEN LCD!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice camera though, I'm thinking of buying it.

[MystikalQC]

Huh... you're like 14 and you got this camera ? damn you ahah, I just bought it for 400$ and I'm 19... but whatever lol

[lovelyti2002]

great tutorial lil man, your tutorial is one of the best iv'e see thus far. i love this camera, this is by far the best video camera i've bought in a long time.

[PurplePigsGoMoo]

this was seriously, no joke, obviously awesomee(:

i just got this camera so that was really useful!

also, this is going to sound stupid, but how do i upload footage onto my mac? the format is .MTS, also there is .CPI. do i need to buy a converter or...?

thanks!

[derektheproducer]

Great review!

[gamiel100]

@Whitehint yup the opteka death lenses will fit on this

[Primony]

How do u get into the menu to change the video quality lol?

[Jgriffy]

@Whitehint I bought mine from Amazon. You can also get them off of BHphotovideo which is also a really great online store for anything camera related.

[Jgriffy]

@Whitehint Yeah, 37mm. I got the Opteka baby death on mine.

[entune85]

[InfinityXProductions]

[CoachByNicole]

[ObviouslyAwsome]

@Whitehint You sure can! 

[kruxsony]

[Neuumann]

@kruxsony yes it does

[thyrael41]

what camera did you use to record this particular video?

[iRePcA]

good job

[arabianlvr102]

is this good for any type of computer? because i have windows

[ObviouslyAwsome]

@arabianlvr102 Yes It is. It includes a Software for Windows to upload and edit footage.

[arabianlvr102]

@ObviouslyAwsome okay, is the editing software good? if i dont want to use it will it let me edit on another move editor?

[Neuumann]

@arabianlvr102 yes you can.

[Nimbus487]

can this camera be put on a MAC?

[ObviouslyAwsome]

@Nimbus487 Yup! Thats what I use!

[fran963852741]

@ObviouslyAwsome what did u use for editing?

imovie?final cut?

plz answer :)

[ObviouslyAwsome]

@fran963852741 I use iMovie, but Final Cut is definitely in my shopping list, hence I already know how to use it! I worked (for free) for my dad's friend In editing. I learned Final Cut Pro and Express there. 

[fran963852741]

@ObviouslyAwsome thnx

so this camera is compatible with final cut

couse i used a sony and it didnt have sound using final cat (lol)

nice video btw

[PtownMoto]

@Nimbus487 yes

[TreasureChestReviews]

What video format does this cam output? I heard it was m-peg 4

[MikeGleeson1]

Great review, man. Trying to figure out what camera to get and this review definitely sold me. I just saw the HF M30 at Best Buy for $400... I'm going to get it. Thanks!

[johnpooley3]

*cmos as in randy moss not as in most*

[AAProductions09]

Dude... This was a great review! :D Im looking into a new camcorder to get on this upcoming holiday season, and this review pretty much settled it. I'm planning on taking some video tech classes next year to learn some new editing and filming tips, and this camera will be perfect! The 1080p looks AMAZING and it has some serious macro capability from the tests I've seen. Anyway, thanks so much :D

[TheFoolishFilms]

2 questions but first let me say good video! 1. what camera are you using to record this video? and 2. What has better audio and video quality the canon or the one your using to record?

[ObviouslyAwsome]

@TheFoolishFilms This video is being filled with a Canon SX20 IS. (I have a video on that camera too) and surprisingly, i think the SX20 IS has better built in audio, but his camera has a 3.5 mm Mic input jack.

[iamlogancooke]

Nice Editing my Friend!

[edwardholmes91]

Real nice video review there! Great setup and lovely annotations that you added when editing :)
