Review by Michael Helgeson for Canon VIXIA HF M30 Dual Flash Memory Camcorder – 2010 MODEL

I have now owned this camcorder for a couple weeks. I love everything about it except the Pixela software it came with. The software gives an error message every time I try to import the videos from the camcorder to my computer, which is frustrating because I have tried everything I can think of to resolve the problem.
Other than that, the experience has been very positive. The touch screen takes a little getting used to, but once I got a handle on it, I found it much more appealing than a traditional menu toggle.
I plan to revisit this review and update after I have gotten the software issues resolved.

I have been looking for a camcorder for quite some time. After several months of looking through many reviews, I decided to choose the Cannon M30. I am happy with my decision. The camcorder is smaller than I expected, which takes time to get use to it. All functions are touch screen. So far the only issue I have with it is that the manual is in PDF format requiring you to print it out (220 pages). If you are debating about it…stop…go buy it. You will be happy with it.

Let me start of by saying I normally wouldn’t give something a 5 star rating, but this camera has so far exceeded all my expectations.
The video quality is excellent. The zoom is great. The image stabilization is amazing. It has a button you can press to increase it even further and even zoomed in at 15x, I was able to get a very steady picture.
Where the camera has truly exceeded my expectations is underwater. I got the case Canon sells for this and have used it diving the past two days and its been awesome. The quality underwater is just as good as above! The camera has an underwater mode which is truly color corrects things underwater. They even realize that you may want to record above water and give you a way to switch between underwater mode and above water (boat) mode with the camera in the case. Buying the camera and the underwater case is not much more then buying a case from other 3rd party vendors either, so the value was huge for me.
There’s really nothing negative I can say, other then the touch screen takes some getting used to. In comparison to previous models, such as the HF100 which I also own, they’ve really improved a lot of issues, such as slow switching between modes or slowness issues with taking stills while recording video.
Bottom line – If you want a great High Def Camcorder at a good price with the ability to get one of the least expensive underwater cases available, then this is the camera for you. Even if you aren’t interested in underwater recording, its a great camera out of the water too!

I was like 3 weeks reading reviews and it did worth the time.
Very good photos and videos, even with the lenses I bought (F.E. Opteka fisheye).
Very intuitive touchscreen menu.
If you are thinking of using your camcorder in outdoors, buy the waterproof case “Lowepro Apex 100 AW”. Within this case, the camera fits very well, even with the Opteka fisheye, the battery extra pack (BP809B), the extra SDHC memories and the UV filter.
If you need to downgrade the Full HD videos you took to upload them to youtube for example, use this free program “Free HD converter”

Why am I the first reviewer?
For 1080p that also has an audio input, you don’t really have any comparably price items.
I wanted to use this to film hotel rooms and also video of my child. But seriously, if I just cared about my child, I probably would’ve gone for the 720p options that are in the sub 100 range.
1080P + mic input, what major choices do you have at this price point?
ACCESSORIES:

[...]
- An SD memory card only if you need to do long shoots.
I already had a REALLY old Canon ZR60, so I don’t think I could’ve been disappointed at all with this device. Technology really has come a LONG way even in a couple years.
DEMOS (in full 1080P glory! Look for the videos that have the option for 1080P. Those were shot with this camcorder):
