The VIXIA HF R700 camcorder gives you high-quality recording whether you're capturing MP4 or AVCHD files. 1080/60p recording captures twice the amount of information as 60i, and with images captured at a rate of up to 60 frames per second, diagonal noise is virtually eliminated so even fast-moving subjects show up crisply with motion and patterns clearly recorded. This greater sense of detail and faithful rendering of moving edges, plus enhanced color and fine tonal gradation, helps you take advantage of all that Full HD has to offer. AVCHD Progressive records at a bit rate of up to 28 Mbps, which is the highest in the AVCHD standard, and MP4 files are captured at a bit rate of up to 35 Mbps, so regardless of the format you're shooting or viewing, image quality is incredibly high._3.0-inch capacitive touch panel LCD with increased brightness and new User Interface for easy menu navigation and simple viewing of videos. The VIXIA HF R700 camcorder features a new 3.0-inch capacitive touch panel LCD screen that's bright and clearly visible, even outdoors in the sun, with rich, natural color reproduction. Simply open the panel and the power is on. A gentle touch activates intuitive functions via large, easy-to-use icons in a streamlined new layout. Choose a focal point, track moving subjects, control exposure for selected areas and operate camcorder controls from the screen, all with a simple touch. The easy new user interface makes navigating menus, shooting and watching your videos easy and fun. Clear explanations for key settings pop up when selecting shooting modes and recording formats, so even new videographers can feel confident as they create impressive videos._Advanced Baby Mode selects the optimal camcorder settings to help capture your baby's daily growth with ease. A convenient solution for capturing, tracking, organizing and sharing every precious moment of your baby's development, Baby Mode on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to follow the growth of up to three children. A custom control button on the shooting screen activates the mode, and suitable settings for the shooting conditions, including Intelligent IS and more, are automatically selected. Simply pick up the camcorder and start recording, knowing capture will be of high quality. Videos shot in Baby Mode are automatically saved into a dedicated Baby Album so they won't get lost among your other videos. You can then view the Baby Album chronologically for a seamless way to relive and share your baby's growth with friends and relatives. When you're shooting in Baby Mode, the camcorder's Pre-Record (Pre REC) function is always on. This places the camcorder in a stand-by "pre-roll" mode, where it continuously records three seconds of video to memory before you even press the record button. When you start recording, the additional video is recorded too, so it's easy to capture the baby's "firsts" and other special moments. Touch Decoration in Baby Mode includes stamps to mark each video with your baby's current height and weight. And with a single registration of the baby's birth date, the camcorder will automatically calculate the number of days old and stamp videos accordingly, creating a diary of developmental milestones for years to come. Thanks to the number of decorations available on the VIXIA HF R700, it's easy to make a fun video commemorating your baby's special moments. The camcorder's other Touch Decoration options, including your own drawings, captions, animations and more, are fully available in Baby Mode, and all can easily be appended to previously shot video as well._High-capacity BP-727 battery pack helps facilitate extended shooting time so you can capture important moments. The VIXIA HF R700 camcorder is powered by a high capacity Battery Pack BP-727. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery not only lets you shoot for long periods, but features intelligent technology that accurately indicates remaining battery time for extra insurance that you won't miss an important shooting opportunity._Zoom Framing Assist setting is available in Auto or Manual mode, making it easier to accurately track and capture subjects while they are moving. The versatile 57x zoom on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder is indispensable for shooting long distance subjects without intruding onto the scene or interrupting the action. But sometimes it can be tricky to keep such a distant subject in the frame. That's where Zoom Framing Assist comes in. When you're shooting at the long end of the zoom and you've lost your subject, simply press an icon on the touch screen and the zoom magnification will automatically decrease, making it easy for you to locate the subject and zoom in on it again. Now available in Auto or Manual mode, Zoom Framing Assist helps keep your subject in the frame._Intelligent IS automatically chooses from four different modes to help optimize image stabilization for the shooting condition. Intelligent IS makes it easy to shoot clear, sharply focused video, even in situations that typically cause camera shake. The Intelligent IS system analyzes the shooting situation for you, then automatically switches to the image stabilization method ideal for producing sharp, steady video. Four IS systems cover the gamut of shooting situations. Dynamic IS corrects minor movement and the shaking caused by walking while shooting. Macro IS delivers incredibly steady close-up shots. Powered IS comes into play when you're using the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder's powerful zoom, correcting shake that can occur in telephoto shots. Tripod Mode stops IS when the camcorder is stationary._Audio Scene Select allows easy operation and setup for outstanding audio. Audio Scene Select on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to easily capture clear, high-quality audio with a choice of five audio modes to choose from based on your shooting situation: Standard, Music, Speech, Forest and Birds and Noise Suppression. Each of these modes has pre-determined optimized settings ideal for the shot you're capturing, resulting in outstanding video with realistic, immersive audio. Audio settings can also be custom set to meet your shooting needs._Smart AUTO helps make shooting great videos easy by intelligently selecting the proper settings for the camcorder. Smart AUTO lets you capture clear, bright, well-focused video while the camcorder takes care of the details. The system recognizes 38 shooting situations based on numerous factors, then automatically chooses the optimal settings for the situation. When you shoot a nearby subject in telephoto zoom mode, Auto Tele Macro gives your video the high-end artistic effect of a well-focused subject against a beautifully blurred background._Slow & Fast Motion recording allows you to record fast motion at up to 1200x and slow motion at 0.5x. You'll have fun using the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder's Slow & Fast Motion capabilities. You can record slow motion images at speeds down to 0.5x – a great feature for checking out your tennis swing, or creating videos with cinema-like expression. Fast motion now tops out at an amazing 1200x (recording 20 hours of action as a 1-minute scene), for eye-popping action movie-like effects._Five Cinema-Look Filter effects give video a cinematic feel and can be applied during or after shooting for your convenience. The VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to create cinematic looks with the use of Cinema-Look Filters. This feature offers a choice of seven varied built-in adjustable filters, which give the look of a variety of cinematic styles by compensating for the color, gamma and other aspects of the image's quality. The looks can be previewed in the LCD display while shooting, and also applied post-capture for additional convenience and versatility. Choose from: Cinema Standard – Recreates the warm tones and muted highlights of classic film Vivid – Accentuates primary colors for a bright, cheerful look Cool – Adds a bluish tint for cool, futuristic-looking scenes Sepia – Applies a sepia tint for an antique, faded look Old Movies – Gives video the aged look of old cinema_Highlight Priority Mode helps to deliver an expansive range of colors and tones virtually consistent with how they’re seen by the naked eye. To capture highly saturated, realistic colors and to convey gradation characteristics as perceived by the eye, the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder has a new Highlight Priority mode that achieves effects similar to HDR modes in other camcorders. By reducing the mid- to high-brightness compression of the standard gamma mode, the Highlight Priority mode helps to prevent loss of detail in high brightness areas. Designed for display on a bright LCD TV, videos captured in Highlight Priority mode should be shown at a high brightness setting to help ensure accurate portrayal of the effect._Main Unit Specs Standard Definition or High Definition High Definition Television System NTSC Video Recording system AVCHD/MPEG-4 Image Sensor 1/4.85-inch CMOS, RGB Primary Color Filter Total Pixels Approx. 3.28 Megapixels Effective Pixels Video: Approx. 2.07 Megapixels (1920 x 1080)Photo: Approx. 2.07 Megapixels (1920 x 1080) Maximum recording Time 32GB SD Memory Card in AVCHD*:LP (1440 x 1080)**: 12 hrs. 15 min.FXP (1920 x 1080)**: 4 hrs. 10 min.MXP (1920 x 1080)**: 2 hrs. 55 min.NTSC 60p (1920 x 1080)**: 2 hrs. 30 min.32GB SD Memory Card in MP4*: 4 Mbps (1280 x 720)**: 17 hrs. 20 min.17 Mbps (1920 x 1080)**: 4 hrs. 10 min.24 Mbps (1920 x 1080)**: 2 hrs. 55 min.35 Mbps (1920 x 1080)**: 2 hrs. * Variable bit rate.** When recording has continued for 12 hours, it will automatically stop and then start.

And with a single registration of the baby's birth date, the camcorder will automatically calculate the number of days old and stamp videos accordingly, creating a diary of developmental milestones for years to come. Thanks to the number of decorations available on the VIXIA HF R700, it's easy to make a fun video commemorating your baby's special moments. The camcorder's other Touch Decoration options, including your own drawings, captions, animations and more, are fully available in Baby Mode, and all can easily be appended to previously shot video as well. High-capacity BP-727 battery pack helps facilitate extended shooting time so you can capture important momentsThe VIXIA HF R700 camcorder is powered by a high capacity Battery Pack BP-727. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery not only lets you shoot for long periods, but features intelligent technology that accurately indicates remaining battery time for extra insurance that you won't miss an important shooting opportunity. Zoom Framing Assist setting is available in Auto or Manual mode, making it easier to accurately track and capture subjects while they are movingThe versatile 57x zoom on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder is indispensable for shooting long distance subjects without intruding onto the scene or interrupting the action. But sometimes it can be tricky to keep such a distant subject in the frame. That's where Zoom Framing Assist comes in. When you're shooting at the long end of the zoom and you've lost your subject, simply press an icon on the touch screen and the zoom magnification will automatically decrease, making it easy for you to locate the subject and zoom in on it again. Now available in Auto or Manual mode, Zoom Framing Assist helps keep your subject in the frame. Intelligent IS automatically chooses from four different modes to help optimize image stabilization for the shooting conditionIntelligent IS makes it easy to shoot clear, sharply focused video, even in situations that typically cause camera shake. The Intelligent IS system analyzes the shooting situation for you, then automatically switches to the image stabilization method ideal for producing sharp, steady video. Four IS systems cover the gamut of shooting situations. Dynamic IS corrects minor movement and the shaking caused by walking while shooting. Macro IS delivers incredibly steady close-up shots. Powered IS comes into play when you're using the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder's powerful zoom, correcting shake that can occur in telephoto shots. Tripod Mode stops IS when the camcorder is stationary. Audio Scene Select allows easy operation and setup for outstanding audioAudio Scene Select on the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to easily capture clear, high-quality audio with a choice of five audio modes to choose from based on your shooting situation: Standard, Music, Speech, Forest and Birds and Noise Suppression. Each of these modes has pre-determined optimized settings ideal for the shot you're capturing, resulting in outstanding video with realistic, immersive audio. Audio settings can also be custom set to meet your shooting needs. Smart AUTO helps make shooting great videos easy by intelligently selecting the proper settings for the camcorderSmart AUTO lets you capture clear, bright, well-focused video while the camcorder takes care of the details. The system recognizes 38 shooting situations based on numerous factors, then automatically chooses the optimal settings for the situation. When you shoot a nearby subject in telephoto zoom mode, Auto Tele Macro gives your video the high-end artistic effect of a well-focused subject against a beautifully blurred background. Slow & Fast Motion recording allows you to record fast motion at up to 1200x and slow motion at 0.5xYou'll have fun using the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder's Slow & Fast Motion capabilities. You can record slow motion images at speeds down to 0.5x – a great feature for checking out your tennis swing, or creating videos with cinema-like expression. Fast motion now tops out at an amazing 1200x (recording 20 hours of action as a 1-minute scene), for eye-popping action movie-like effects. Five Cinema-Look Filter effects give video a cinematic feel and can be applied during or after shooting for your convenienceThe VIXIA HF R700 camcorder allows you to create cinematic looks with the use of Cinema-Look Filters. This feature offers a choice of seven varied built-in adjustable filters, which give the look of a variety of cinematic styles by compensating for the color, gamma and other aspects of the image's quality. The looks can be previewed in the LCD display while shooting, and also applied post-capture for additional convenience and versatility. Choose from: Cinema Standard Recreates the warm tones and muted highlights of classic film Vivid Accentuates primary colors for a bright, cheerful look Cool Adds a bluish tint for cool, futuristic-looking scenes Sepia Applies a sepia tint for an antique, faded look Old Movies Gives video the aged look of old cinema Highlight Priority Mode helps to deliver an expansive range of colors and tones virtually consistent with how they're seen by the naked eyeTo capture highly saturated, realistic colors and to convey gradation characteristics as perceived by the eye, the VIXIA HF R700 camcorder has a new Highlight Priority mode that achieves effects similar to HDR modes in other camcorders. By reducing the mid- to high-brightness compression of the standard gamma mode, the Highlight Priority mode helps to prevent loss of detail in high brightness areas. Designed for display on a bright LCD TV, videos captured in Highlight Priority mode should be shown at a high brightness setting to help ensure accurate portrayal of the effect.

Long time Canon user here so I'm not bashing or worshiping Canon as a company or all their products. I also like certain Sony and Nikon and even Panasonic camcorders a lot. I also dislike some of each of these companies a lot. I'm really trying to be as objective as possible here.I'm not going into every little detail here. Others here have done a great job with that already. This is just my quick and dirty opinion , focusing on what I consider THE most important aspects of a camcorder. Points such as ease of use of the menu, toy options like themes, sounds effects, in-camera editing, connectivity, etc are not discussed. Neither is battery life because it varies by many factors, such as if you use the battery that comes with it (meh) or a higher capacity replacement from either Canon or a third party manufacturer. Accessories beyond what comes in the box are also not discussed.USE AS BACKUP FOR CANON G30/G40This was supposed to be a backup camera for some G30 and G40 camcorders from Canon, the highest consumer/prosumer cams they offer at this time. They are MUCH more expensive than all the lower tier cams, such as the R700. Some of my clients use multiple Canon G30 and G40 several times a week to create marketing and other videos. If a scene is properly lit and carefully planned, and used by experienced staff and capable editors, the G30s and G40s can produce some very nice looking content.However, the G30/40s are quite expensive. Clients needed a backup camera just in case one of the main cameras breaks during a shoot, or just to have an additional camera for potential B-roll or inserts. It would have been great to be able to purchase a Canon for something that hopefully only happens a few times a year. The R700 can't even do that.THE DEAL BREAKERSIf you compare spec lists, the HF R700 has a surprising number of things in common. However where it matters - content quality, LCD screen quality, etc - it seriously lacks. You cannot use this as a good backup for Canon's higher end consumer camcorders like the G30/G40. Used alone, the R700 might be good enough - IF you have rather low requirements.First off: the R700 is much, much cheaper than a G40. One just can't expect the same quality as a G40 or even old G20s But I didn't expect SUCH a terrible quality from Canon.First, the picture quality is just bad. Even if you shoot in perfect sun light, or perfect studio lights with the same settings as a G40, the difference is dramatic. The MUCH MUCH cheaper and WAY inferior R700 doesn't come close to a G40. In fact, even shooting at the highest AVCHD setting and all exposure settings the same as a G40, there's just a huge difference in favor for the G40. The R700 looks like fairly bad SD (Standard Definition, again: even if you shoot in HD, highest quality settings), the dynamics (difference between highlights and shadows) are very muddy - jarring at times - and graduations not nearly as smooth as on a G40. Somehow, Exposure: Auto results in a wild over-and underexposure, where the G40 gradually exposes the scene properly. A little more detail about some of the most important - and somehow most screwed up aspects:WHITE BALANCEOn a shoot where you need to control the white balance and keep that steady, the Custom WB options are mandatory. Auto is for total amateurs who just don't care about their scene changing colors wildly every few second, especially with this camcorder because Auto WB and all the other non-Custom white balance choices are just terrible. Assuming you are at least a little serious about your content's quality, forget Auto or any of this terrible Scene white balances. Custom white balance is where it's at ...or should be.White balance, one of THE most crucial aspects of videography, is very inaccurate with the R700. You do have 2 custom white balance settings like on a G30/40. But they're pretty much useless because:..THE LCD SCREEN IS TOTAL JUNKMy particular model's monitor is literally ice cold blue at all times, no matter what you do. Doesn't matter what you white balance off or where - the LCD tinges everything in cold blue, probably around 3200K or so. To be clear - only the MONITOR stays the same deep blue, after you white balance your actual footage does change. But that means you can't actually see how your scene looks with your custom white balance. As comparison to a G40 or virtually any decent camcorder from Canon or Sony etc: White balance multiple camcorders off the same white balance card/ paper with the same lights, and standing in the same position, it'll fairly accurately white balance your G40 or whatever. You can clearly see the temperature change on the screen. It'll also tell you what Kelvin you're getting.On the R700 the LCD doesn't change, and doesn't show you what color temps (K) you're at. You totally fly blind here. Worse yet, you can white balance the R700 on the same card/paper, with the same lighting, and you standing in the same position multiple times- and the actual footage will still vary a bit. You just can't seem to get a perfect white balance with the same values each and every time. If the camcorder was accurate it should produce the exact same result every time. But it doesn't.This is HUGE if you shoot with more than 1 camera and /or need the scene to look a certain way.So that alone makes this camera useless for anyone except folks who need a camcorder for a birthday party once a year. But then, your phone will give you better results than this. Especially in low light.LOW LIGHTThe HF700's sensor is one major culprit for all its flaws.This includes low light shooting quality, which is my last opinion point. If you ARE the person who just needs a very basic camcorder for that birthday party or vacation shot of someone holding up the Tower of Pisa for a second, make sure you have additional lighting for the former. Sorry, no cute shots of your little angel in the dark, blowing out candles on the birthday cake. You won't capture much with the R700 except a few dim candles and some mysterious pair of eyes hovering over them. Very-low light shooting is terrible.The sensor/processor/lens combo in this model simply isn't good at very-low light shooting.It gets worse. It's not even good at just general low light shooting. And keep in mind: What you might consider low light, the camera companies consider normal. It's a marketing thing and very annoying. Also, your eyes are much better than any camera in the world, so you may see something pretty well, but the highly limited camcorder is nearly in the dark.So if you do go to Pisa and get that shot of your family holding up that tower (everyone does, it's ok), if it's slightly overcast or there are some shadows that your eyes have no problem seeing well, your R700 is likely going to produce very dark, somewhat blurry footage.You'll wonder why this is so bad. After all, your eyes saw this just fine. Maybe a little bit cloudy but that shouldn't matter. Well it does. On every camcorder. Here is where shelling out the money for a much better model is necessary. The worse a cameras low-light capabilities, the worse the footage is, the more grain you'll see, and the more blurriness is going on. Remember: most camcorders and still cameras need light to accurately auto-focus on a subject. The the top tier, more expensive ones just are usually much better at that. Shoot the same scene with a G40 and the R700 side by side and it's like night and day. Literally.FINAL WORDSIn theory this camcorder should have been able to roughly approximate footage of a G40 that, if properly handled and carefully edited by a pro, could have fit in as a B-roll or emergency backup camera or to serve as an additional camera. Instead, this camera is only capable of being the only camera because the footage is simply too bad and its settings so unpredictable that it just won't mix with any other camera's footage.I think the type of person for whom the R700 is suited is someone who very rarely needs a camcorder, and if he uses it is not that concerned about quality. However, even a person with very low requirements is much better off just using his or her cell phone's video feature. All recent iPhones, and all recent Samsung Galaxy/Note devices, as well as many upper tier Android phones and tablets will do a better job at capturing a scene than the Canon HF R700.I couldn't believe the awful quality of the R700, so I did do a few unscientific tests comparing the camcorder with a Samsung Galaxy Note 5, the wife's iPhone 6S Plus, and a very old Samsung Tab something. Both the Note 5 and the iPhone beat the pants off the Canon. No contest at all. Comparing the footage, the Canon was a joke. Slight edge to the Note 5 in detail and color. Edge to Apple for focusing speed in low light. The R700 was about on par with the old tablet, outdoing it only in nice sunlight and with more complex backgrounds. And that tablet really does take terrible pictures and even video, especially in low light. But it's like 5 years old and not meant to be used regularly to shoot videos. As a dedicated camcorder whose sole purpose is to take decent video, the Canon HF R700 simply failed.Again, this is all coming from a loyal Canon customer for well over a decade. I'm not bashing the company itself, nor am I trying to say any other brand is better - but I'm not holding back my complaints about many of their models either. Some Canon stuff is fantastic, some pretty embarrassing. The HF R700 unfortunately falls into that latter camp.
