If you need an affordable version of the Vixia G20/G40, then this is a very decent alternative on a budget. Before I sing praises of the Canon Vixia HF R800, lemme give some perspective on this review: I work as a professional videographer, typically for local bands and music events, fundraiser charities, musician EPKs, etc. I have been using a Canon Vixia G30 for almost 4 years now, and it’s literally the best prosumer camera anyone can buy.
