I have the HF G40, HD camcorder. I've made a few videos about it and I still use it from time to time even though I have other cameras including a Panasonic GH5s, which is incredible by the way. I definitely would like a newer camcorder. I was thinking maybe the HF G60, but a G50 might do as well it seems.... Great video though, thanks. Oh, one draw back that keeps me from using these cameras more is the dynamic range. And also the smaller bit rate makes it harder to adjust colours and such. So I just find you really have to make sure you nail it in camera.

Im debating this or the g60 since g60 has larger sensor

Thanks for the review!

Gotta say, I’m with you on this. My HF G70 is the best looking video I’ve ever seen personally. I have one pointer for you. Roll with the 4K. It’s much better than the 1080p mode for like… no reason at all. Also, messing with custom picture profiles is tricky, but doesn’t take long to figure out what’s going on. Colour matrix adjustments are tricky, but try going +15, +15, +10, +15, +10, +15 for a slightly “kodachromy” look, and then adjust the knee slope up by 10, lower the point to 85, it looks pretty neat.

What external microphones do you recommend?

24 or 23.98 fps?

Camera has good colour.

Just what I was looking for

I love camcorders. They are the best option to run n gun filmmaking. I just love them. I've got the Canon Legria HF S21 and HF G25. They both, to me, are indie filmmaking beasts!! They provide a lot of pro features for limitless filmmaking. I really love them. And yes, a camcorder can give bokeh too!!

I think they are worth it for that price; I just got the Canon HF Vixia G70 and I'm happy with it.

I’ll shoot Canon XF405 and i love it !!!

I just ordered this @ $27 few hours ago 😊 i can't wait to have it in my hand

great video. camcorders are amazing. I shot 4 fiction features with them and received great responses from critics and theaters for them. super easy to use image making gear. great for indie fiction feature filmmakers.

This camcorder takes beautiful film. I am obsessed with it. - Chris

i have used mine for more than a year. but recently the power button wouldn't turn on. Do you know how to fix this?

Very helpful, thank you. What is the main difference between the G50 and the G70? I see the G70 for about the same price as the G50 was when this video was made.

Is there any other high zoom cameras other than the Panasonic intelligent 90x? Looking for a better one

which one is better? Canon Vixia HF G70 or Panasonic HC-X1500GC

iTS A GRATE CAMERA, I HAVE FILMED MOSTLY MY FILMS ON THAT CAMERA.

I still use camcorders I used a Panosonic Hc v

Just use a phone. Camcorder doesn't go wide adequately. 16mm is needed. 26mm is too tight for a walk and talk. Stabilization also sucks. The zoom is cool. Was cool in 1970 as well. It's a dead look. Nobody wants to watch smash zoom retro visuals.

This camera, apart from recording in 1080p and 4k, does not record in 2k (1440)????

Yep some of us been using digicams going back 20+ years. We all switched from film back then because you can spend $2000 on film and processing really quickly if you did a lot of shooting. These days I think the resurgence is due to the same thing, people went back to film and quickly found out how expensive film is, saw another video where the film was $2 per shot, 1000 shots is $2000, yikes. So much like we went digital back then, I think people have moved to the next best thing "film like" ccd sensors. As long as more people are shooting and having fun that's all that matters.

FINALLY found someone else who also believes in camcorders, besides me! Coincidentally, also have this same model!

I have the requirement to document an extended road trip in Africa focusing on nature and wildlife photography where the end goal will be the creation of a sequence of RUclips videos to be edited on a desktop PC. I have looked at many options and a prosumer camcorder fits the bill as the one instrument with a wide range of functionality with ease of use operation. Based on affordability and availability my options are the Sony FDR-AX43 and Canon XA60B where my preference is biased to the Sony.

great video, almost pulling the trigger on a g50, but does it have Canon Log or Wide Dr? And the ND filter is only after F4.0 automatically right?

I purchased this model for my church when we went to online services during Covid. We still use it for our livestream. Great camera for our purposes!

Check out my test on my Canon XA50: ruclips.net/video/r2N4LoCS3kg/видео.html

I have the Canon XA50. I love it!

Love this review. Also wanted to comment on your video clips -- very well done, great composition!

Images are really great 👍 i have a camcorder (Sony fdr-Ax 53). Thanks for shining some light on this camcorder. New sub btw 👍🏽

I'm a 16 year videographer & photographer, good video!

Dude great review! I've seen a few and you covered exactly what I was looking for. Good luck with your projects!💪🏼

I just bought mine last week.

A new term for something that is harder to use than people think. Haha

Crazy! A camera review that focuses on image quality.

Do you think it's worth spending a little more for the A53?

📌 Nice video dude and nice shots. You are still a little awkward in front of the camera, but you are doing very well. It's ridiculous that there is so much focus on DSLR when it comes to filming when these cameras are primarily made for stills and quickly get hot while shooting video. We have recently started using the Canon XA70 here, which is fairly comparable in terms of body to the Canon HF G50. The specs are of course higher, but the price is also more than 2 times higher. We look forward to the next videos shot with your Canon HF G50. Very wise to use 24 frames instead of the 60 hype. It does indeed look cinematic with beautiful colors and razor-sharp images. The camcorder should receive much more attention for filming, because the DSLR is still less suitable for this. Our compliments for having the courage to bring this to your attention. Well done.

They kept the headphone jack but got rid of the FM Radio and home screen looping.🤦🏽‍♂️ BUT they put in a bunch of unnecessary bells and whistles, a.k.a. crap, I don't have a use for. I've used LG mostly, Motorola, HTC, Umidigi, Nokia Windows phone and Samsung is the only one that wants you to make an account on their website when using their product.

What do you eat Matthew 🧟? Go raw vegan man

Nice unboxing. Does it have an FM radio?

Been using the G40 since it came out. Literally my only complaint is the display. Everything else has been great.

What mic are you using bro for this I jus bought one. Good review video also

What’s a good a shotgun mic that works well for this

Hi Matthew, I have a question, did you use G50 for scenes that you are youtubing too?

Thanks Matt

Lee Altus Twin Brother...😀😀

I See U Also Have StraightTalkWireless...U Could Have Purchased That Phone Through StraightTalk For Under $200...

I'm Already Considering This Absolutely Splendid Phone...Its Going To Be An Upgrade To Current SAMSUNG GALAXY A03S I Purchased In February...For TracFoneWireless...I Was Considering The SAMSUNG GALAXY A23 But This One Has A Larger 6.6 Inch Display...For A Bit Less...

really great review man, looking to get the G70 soon.
