[sonic4sale]

You have a lovely family and live in a beautiful area. Not trying to be creepy or anything >.>

[fanSte1986NL]

hi, which background music did you use?

[Nevedomsky]

тормози хД

[fuaad964]

it not good for any motion, just for still view , see samsung R10 test

[TheAlbinoSquad]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! i own this camera and know how to film, but i cant get the things i film onto the computer, Anyone know how? thanks

[leonardocullen215]

@TheAlbinoSquad anybody know how to import into high quality? there is not even an option on windows for 1080 or 720p?

[jarppa109]

@TheAlbinoSquad first put your camera charging, then connect the camera to the computer with USB cabel and open the camera and press the left button on the camera where you can watch your videos

[MrGrandtheft13]

this camera does not look very good if your gunna be filming for action sports like skateboarding or biking is it?

[ArmoredSaint848]

what is the difference between HF20 and HF200 >> if any ?!

[WarmWeatherGuy]

@ArmoredSaint848 The HF20 has 32GB built in and is black instead of silver. Otherwise it is the same as the HF200. They are both old models and hard to find. BestBuy is selling them for outrageous prices. Try the HF M31 instead.

[ArmoredSaint848]

@WarmWeatherGuy thx mate, didn't know HF M31 even existed lemmie see what i can find out about that camera cheers

[tails3344]

Alright so I want to buy this camrea.But I have a mac... I heard this file is some strange file that won;t import into like anything. I use Imovie... am I going to have any problems with uploading the files?

[SunLightChill]

Прикольное видео :) Больше всего не ожидал услышать тут русской речи))

[DJELGALLO]

how much internal memory does this camcorder have?

[Czarny621]

I can see, you're kinda ... rich XD

[CONSTRINGACY]

nice shadow wraith remix who made it or where did you get it im a big fan of that game???

[DesertSmeagle]

im gonna spend some of my graduation money on an hf20...refurbished 530$..good deal...im having alot of stress about it because ive researched every camera and ive chosen this one....is it good? i bought a sony cx110 at walmart for 500$ then returned it because i found i could get it online for 350$. i decided to order the hf20 because its better than the cx110 right? for 530$ refurbished. the cheapest i could find.

[valeriys2000]

@DesertSmeagle Yes for this money it's the best! Don't even compare canon with sony, canon makes way better camcorders and cameras!!!

[Rizorn]

@valeriys2000

But sony Vegas struggle to take the files.. Very strange. I get lag when editing.

The files are MST I think. Very big files.

[Helenova]

sweet video!! xD

[sparrow2a]

nice camera i guess with manual settings you will get better result at night.Also some extra lighting is acceptable and helps a lot :) Can you please tell me the name of the backround song?

[ronamtic]

What software did you use to convert it and upload to youtube. Love the quality. :)

[PillowcaseHead]

Looks crappy

[ben2sk8]

couuld you possibaly give me a description on the lens? like what size and is it a wide angle or just normal?

[YourFriendlyMe]

does i have a pause button?

[solidusm88]

And oh.. What is this country? The neighborhood looks nice..

[solidusm88]

Great test video.. I'm getting this camera for sure.. However, I heard people find trouble editing videos, how'd you make this one?

[Mandaramaster]

i asked this camera for my birthday ^_^ would you overall recomend it ?

[valeriys2000]

@Mandaramaster For this price it's the best camera out there. but that's my opinion.

[tttnytttny]

Can somebody please help me. I am taking pictures of a fashion model and I know that professional photographers can connect the camera to a computer with a USB cable. When a photo is taken, the photographer can view it immediately on the computer screen. I am going to use the Canon Vixia HF200 as the camera for the photo shoot. Can someone please tell me how that is done? Thank you kindly.

[ASkydenSurvive]

Did you sharpen the image at all??

[bigd021191]

i really wish i had this camera, how much was it?

[javet]

@bigd021191 400 used

[whynotanything]

the quality wasn't as good as other test footage

[Kennylol]

how do you transfer the videos to the pc? mine just hangs all the time

[MrKazadayer]

I also need to ask you about the editing software?

[raheelhameed1]

awesome video :)

[ldsiceman]

i bought the hf200 a little while ago and the way it shoots is great. but it doesn't come with a converter to convert its .mts files into .avi or .mov. You've obviously done something right cuz ur video is online lol, what would you suggest is the best converter? also what are the minimum specs to play the video on ur comp? I'm at witt's end here so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[anna21vz]

That was so funny  the crazy frog one was so funny

[GeneralChurch]

How do i change the shutter speed?

[MrJackanthony]

What did the kid say in the end?

[Mccorri1]

Whats the editing software????,

[barnyard27]

damn this video looks way better than the overhyped & overpriced Canon HF S100!!!

[d17a2dude]

I just bought this camera, my first. Upon first charge it only charged up to about 90 minutes of use. Is this normal?

[ritchguitar]

yes (: but if i'm correct you can only record HD for like 60minutes so that should be right. But yes, this battery only goes for 90 minutes +/-

[TheMash84]

@d17a2dude

Its normal, Li-Ion batteries needs 3 cycles to be "formatted".

Its depends on how you use it (frequent zoom, lcd brightness).

By the way, 90 minutes its very good!

[roscoegino]

wow. and i thought the hv40 was hot.

[MYOLDNEIGHBORHOOD]

5 stars

[MYOLDNEIGHBORHOOD]

nice vid man... Nice camera too

[ricardorichricardo]

Hi everybody. I have this camera, its cool as. Just wondering if anybody has ever used a wireless lavalier mic setup with this camera? If so what brand/model and what did you think? Cheers.

[ksbcrocks]

@ricardorichricardo i found a cheap wireless lav mic on amazon. it works alright. I do go through a mixer first though. I have to keep the audio attenuator on the camera on so it won't hiss, but it sounds alright. it's just some generic mic type deal, and a 100 dollar behringer band mixer

[ShamilBasayev]

Very nice video

[schumacher3344]

not bets quality and bad addeting

[lizardmannnn]

Which camera is better than this one for the price (in image quality)? Was thinking about getting this one.

[ngvgnDOTcom]

The HF200 is good in low light you just have to shoot in 24p and go into manual settings to get the shutter right.

[valeriys2000]

I'm glad you like it, but in my case I hate it, compare to my new Canon 5D Mark II camera!!! (by the way I only shoot in manual mode)

[dexter5533]

@valeriys2000 but u have to remember the Canon 5D Mark ll is like 2,000$...

[tailsent21]

@valeriys2000 Why 5D? I hear the 7D is amazing

[valeriys2000]

@tailsent21 I don't even compare this two cameras! Canon 5D Mark II has a full sensor :) way way less noise...

[kafolske]

What were your export settings? This looks very good and plays much better than my H264 MPEG exports do.

[GRiZLOC]

I have a Canon HF200 and recording it at 24mbps and without converting the raw footage if uploaded to youtube the video gets sound or video artifacts. Youtube's avchd decoding process needs to be tweaked. I record my video at 17mbps which is still 1920 x 1080 resolution but without the sound and video artifacts or one other option is to convert the video file before uploading to youtube with sony vegas pro or some other program...

[BestM8ts12]

ok then

[CCNutella]

I bought this camera, and have been very disappointed with the images in video.

What are the settings you use for such a crisp, clear, sharp video?

All help is much appreciated!

[GRiZLOC]

Woohoo i got my HF 200 at last. OMG what a camcorder. It's absolutely the best camcoder i have ever bought. The only problem i got was when transferring the raw video footage to pc that the cam didn't like to be connected on the front usb ports. Mainly 'cause it is a 1.1 usb port or maybe some other reason. the fix for this was to plug it in the rear usb port which is connected directly to the motherboard which has the full 5Volts and usb 2.0 (480mbps)

[heartpursuer]

Another option, GRiZLOC, is to pull the card from the camcorder and transfer the "Private" folder directly (intact) through a card reader. I do that as a way of avoiding Canon's software, which really isn't that great.

[Celler2]

Horoshaya vidushka..:)

[some12nvee]

Good video! What makes the Canon HF-S10 better at night footage?

[valeriys2000]

Canon HF-S10 has less noise than HF 20

[Scortech]

Can you use 240fps slow motion on this camera ?

[etownoil98]

this camera is super duper

[antoniofonty]

omg nice camcorder

[whiterhino14]

The Hf20 is a far better choice. 32gb running off the built in memory at a class 6 or higher rate vs the price of 32gb class 6 Sandisk memory card is about $100 cheaper plus the fact that the all a black unit, looks soooooo sweet!

[stargurl3168]

I have the same camera and I just uploaded a video but the quality looks really bad on youtube. What format did you convert your video file to? Quicktime movie?

[wakeupfist]

My partner in pain. It looks like we both took the same bate i.e. fell for the false advertisement. Despite the manual claiming that the camera supports 1080p @ 24fps and actually INSTRUCTING on how to set it to that mode, the produced video files are still interlaced - D'oh! Hence the bad quality after upload. Sorry! For the price of an HF200, you could buy 3 Kodak zi8 cameras and get a better picture quality. Although, it's fair to note that smooth zoom requires a firmware update for the zi8.

[FastRedPonyCar]

What alternative for the price would you suggest?

[wakeupfist]

@FastRedPonyCar

I don't have a solid recommendation (sorry) but the Sanyo VPC-HD2000 and VPC-FH1would seem like worth reading up on.

[leonardocullen215]

@stargurl3168 yea me too, have you figured it out?

[stargurl3168]

@leonardocullen215 Export your video using "Quicktime Conversion" if you're in Final Cut or "Expert Settings" if you're using iMovie. Click on "Options" and under under "Settings" select H. 264 compression type, 30 key frames, high quality. Under "Size" set the dimensions to HD 1280X720 16:9 and most importantly check the box that says DEINTERLACE video. Under sound settings choose ACC 48 kHz. Then hit save. Hope that helps!

[fsxAIRLINEguy]

what is better qaulity hf200 or hf20

[chrisanddrums4691]

there is no difference there exactly the same only the hf20 has 16-32 gb onboard and the hf200 dosent you need a sd card

[maximilianboo]

and the hf 20 is fully black where the hf200 is silver and black

[chrisanddrums4691]

yah

[emanuelfriedman96]

hf 200 by far

[MVG994]

nice vid

i like ur neighborhood it seems chill

[fhfg4]

LUKY u get a power wheel and i dont >:(

jk

xD

[TrungiFb]

hey... i wanna buy a canon hf 200 and can you plz tell me how many fps it has and what the difference between hf 20 and hf 200 is... i looked everywhere on internet but unfortunately i can't find anything -.- plz tell me =)

[lti12]

@TrungiFb hf20 has 32gb harddrive hf200 does not

[reallkomo]

i know the hf20 has a hard drive. 32gb i think. That is the only difference between the hf20 and the hf200

[MVG994]

hf 200 has no internal memory

[prisonson]

Fantastic upload

10 stars

[hyrael2]

Hmm, some parts are blurry, do this camera have an hand adjustable lens ?

[Zennyman]

Great editing. Here's a question, if you used Sony Vegas... what did you render the video as? I've tried between .mp4's and .wmv's for quality... and neither seem to look as good as this.

[hyrael2]

You need to set the quality of encoding of the video. mp4 are better than wmv's but for youtube, flash video is recommended.

[ragazzipazzi]

bella bella

[rsmms]

how good should my computeres processer and other specs be if i plan to edit in hd? Anyone know

[luxeinternational]

Nice camera and nice family..

[jkantola2007]

Does anyone know if footage from this film can be edited using final cut studio, or adobe premiere pro cs4.

[THEAVANT2009]

Not sure about final cut studio but cs4 should be able to support it ( it supports most video files )

[RenegadeMaster07]

of course they can :) premiere uses most file types and one of Final Cut Pro's boasting features is how well it copes with different formats editing together.

Using CS3 i have had some slight issues in editing large projects, issues that can't be seen until the final render is completed. With final cut, that problem is meant to be non existant, altho i haven't had much experience using it to know for sure.

Point is, it should handle just about any file format you through at it.

[LikeAVideo]

Yes it can !

[therealbox28]

nice family

[dupersean]

does anybody know if i cud upload footage from this cam onto my mac and edit it, using imovie 06 version, and still get hd quality?

and if i can , will i still get hd quality on youtube?

[nerdykidstricksntips]

i dont have a mac so i cant say for sure, but if imovie 06 edition supports hd editing, you should be able to export in hd. then from there, upload it to youtube in hd. hope i helped. =]

[PS3Insight]

macs r gay so nobody cares...

[chuayou85]

Thanks for the demo video of the Canon VIXIA HF200. I'm convinced its the right one for us.

[tombayly13]

lmao!

[beatzzz01]

HOLY COW! MUCH BETTER SHOTS THAN THE Sony HDR-XR200V

[fanStepuntnl]

Hi, whats the name of the song?

[ULAZYCOOK]

great color and clarity but I notice it is not fluid and smooth. Some choppiness in between but I want to ask is it because I need HD monitor? I am so confused. I have a lcd monitor. Not sure if that's the case.

[VAR1UM]

was thinking about getting this cam but looking at the discription i might look into the other one mentioned...

i do have one question, if anyone knows...

how well does the remote work for this cam? like can it zoom and pan with the remote really well? need it for video blog type stuff.

[luigiperso]

very nicely done,but how good is the hf200 indoors with not a great amount of natural light? (say in the afternoon)

I have got a Kodak ZI8 but I think the HF200 makes far better video,am I right? I need it to make videos at home

[mugupo10]

no comparison, the sensor is bigger in the hf200, you could get the sanyo hd2000 that do best indoor video for under $500.

[luigiperso]

thanks for the advice mugupo, i'll look out for the sanyo.

And yes I too think the hf200 trashes the ZI8

[heardcountybrave]

Great vid :D

[RickFoxley]

I've ordered the Panasonic SD 100 three days ago and sent it back because I wasn't satisfied with the sharpness. Now I've ordered the Canon HF 200. Your video shows what I expect of an HD Camcorder. Great pictures.Sharp and natural colors.

[valeriys2000]

Try to convert to MP4 format.

[berkvens852]

Hey, I have the same camera but everytime I try to upload the .m2ts file to youtube it distorts the video and audio so they no longer match up. Can you tell me what you did to upload this video?

[heardcountybrave]

Use a program called Handbrake to convert the video to MP4. I use the program to convert .m2ts captured by my Hauppauge HD PVR and it compresses the video wonderfully. The .m2ts format would be gigs of video data and Handbrake would compress it to MBs with virtually now quality loss. Also, I haven't tried it on .m2ts, but FormatFactory is a wonderful free conversion program. You could try that also. :)

[Tristan944]

I just got an HF200, but when I upload my videos they dont look nearly as good on YouTube as the real video. How did you upload your videos? They look very clean. Did you resize, edit, convert to a different file type, etc? Thanks for your help.

[kasatka014]

Lmao bunch of rich suburban niggers

[CColeslaw]

Rich?

[BarneyIsPerverted]

Who cares? Most people are.

[alfredunhill]

im asleep from this video not impress

[DerBass09]

I bought the camera my self last week and I am honestly impressed with it. The good thing is, that my wife is able to handle it. So get filmed as well. I find sade if I am never on any our videos. The only thing that I have to complain is the nerrow angle. I had to buy a wide angle converter. But I can live with that.

[UsefTV]

what is the diffrence bitween PAL and NTC

[mxMovies]

NTSC is for America, PAL for EU they have different fps and resolutions.

[EvoDude26]

uuuuuuggghhhh!!!

just if i could afford one of these!!!

[MrHuckJam]

What program you are using to convert? i have also hf200 but i have a problem to find good converting settings... can you tell me which settings you used to get so good picture?

[bondedoclash]

Só acho essa câmera fraca na cor... Ela poderia ter mais cor, mais brilho e contraste... Vocês preferem Cmos ou Ccd??

[edalen]

Can you upload the raw MTS file of the Canon HF200 (with HD Quality) to youtube without conversion on a PC?

[Ultrareallism]

@edalen,

Yes you can.

[Kentiapalme]

has this camcorder got manual focus? is it useful?

[joselotm2]

in which version of premier do you edited this video??.....in which format do you uploaded???

[skv1991]

How do you change the frame rate to 30p?

I have hf200 but in frame rate menu i have 50i or 25p, and where is the 30p or 60i? :((( Say please!

[CheapHomeFilms]

Well, if you live in a PAL region, that would explain why your options are different. It's shipped with different frame rate settings in regions that use PAL standards.

[skv1991]

I live in Moscow, Russia(

thx for answer

[amsalespush]

Hi, great vid! You care to tell me how you imported the stream to computer? I've been trying with MAGIX Video over USB, and it hasn't worked. Thanks!

[cmariexx]

What did you use to edit this? :( I can't get any of my videos to open on my windows pc!

[valeriys2000]

Adobe Photoshop CS4

[Coldsun3000]

Nice test video

[UsefTV]

1:08 that woman is hot

[ateicher]

its probably his wife, shut up

[philomorphologian]

The HF100 has a larger sensor. The HF200 has a 1/4 inch sensor; hence the reduced quality. The manufacturer seems to have produced a 'next-generation' product with a poorer specification. Then, you have to get the next one and so on, and so on.... The HF100 is The One but the manufacturer will probably remove it from sale; because it makes the rest look average - or just about OK. It part of the game we all have to accept.

[cherchieh]

You're returning this to the store? And getting the HF20? Aren't those two the same?

[DaDruminator]

Hard Drives with hd camera doesnt work that well together since the hdd makes the camera shake a little, and with hd quality it is gonna be noticable on a 50" screen.and no the hf20 has 16gb of flash memory with a card slot so you can have upto 48gb of memory :O

[DODwebdotorg]

a 1.5 or 2.5" HDD really has enough torque to affect the camera? I'd never have thought that to be honest. Obviously not while handheld, but guess it might be an issue when doing macroshots on a flimsy tripod?

HF20 has a 32GB flash drive AFAIK.

[nordicsteel1]

how are you able to film HD and only get a 100MB file? i have tried various formats and they end up being between 200-400MB for only 3-4min. i am just learning about all of this. thanks for any leads.

[howisdiscool]

you can use windows movie maker or some other program to compress it

[swisschocolate231]

MMMMMM! CUP NOODLESS!!! :)

[stargurl3168]

QUESTION: Did you use imovie to edit this? If so how did you get the files to play on your Mac? When I plug the camera in is shows up on my desktop but I cannot open any of the video files because they are in CPI format not quicktime. If I can't get them off I am going to have to return the camera :^(

[bouchandre]

after you connect your camera to the mac, click immediately on imovie. sometime, it detect the camera. If it didn't work, plug the camera after opening imovie. I hope it work (for me, it works)

you can also buy SDHC card (to put on your videos) and a small usb adapter for the card

[halo2pc]

I wasn't sure what camcorder to get, but after watching so many awesome video samples on YuoTube ... it's gonna be the Canon HF200 !!!

[gre2401]

what a poor and irritating music

[Lewisified]

ew ramen in a cup D;

[dickdog75]

good to see some of the effects this camera can do. thanks

[BulldogsRule12]

Low light performance on this camera is very poor.

[tylerpomeroy]

Name a camcorder thats ood in low light and ill give you a cookie. I wont be giving you a cookie because no camera in this lifetime will achieve HD quality or anything near it in low light. The image processors needs an abundance of light, no matter what camera you are talking about.

[BulldogsRule12]

Sony HDR-XR500V

Do you want an address to send the cookie?

[tylerpomeroy]

Great. You've told me wrong. BUT the Sony camera is almost twice as much as the Canon. Nevertheless I was wrong, and retract my statement. As for the cookie, im sure you wouldnt want to accept anything from a stranger. Besides, I dont make very good cookies.

[BulldogsRule12]

LOL.....Had to try.

[cak213]

wht did that kid say?

[foxynol]

ive had my eye on this camcorder for a while now and i wanted to know if this is a camcoder worth buying for skateboarding. ive seen the hf s10/100 and its qaulity looks better but the obtical stabilizer looks like shit. which one would u prefer for skateboarding.

[enjoythewildUSA]

I want one! (not the kid - been there done that lol - the COOL CAM!!!)

[dollarboy500]

did you have a filter on?

[eduardomier]

its like so choppyyy :/ and i just bought one for sports stuff :[

[valeriys2000]

the best camera right now "I think" Canon HF-S100 or HF-S10 (they are the same, it just one of them has a internal memory), I bought all new cameras Sony, Panasonic, tested them and I like Canon the most.

[p11ma]

Hey, I'm planning a trip to Mexico. I would really appriciate if you can recommend me a good camcorder. I want good battery life ( i don't care to carry 2 batteries or one with extended life...) , I thought of the HF100, is it good camera? i will want to insert 32GB SDHC , will this camera let me to?

[Ap0llonistasG1]

What camcorder to buy?? I need one with awesome video hd quality and gorgous audio quality..Budget 700-800 euros maximum

[jetblue70]

i just ordered mine today for my birthday.

[Ivolution1]

Hi i was thinking about, buying the HFS 100 ore the HF200, but are the HFS 100 also better in daylight and not only better at low light situations? BTW Really nice video, you know your way around editing. Thanks in advance.
