Most Professional Canon Film Camera

I reluctantly sold my Canon XH-A1 camcorder as I no longer am filming professional quality. Yet I wanted an HD camera. Upon discovery of the Canon Vixia HF200 I was impressed with the features - and bought one.Most shocking was the small size (am used ot the larger Sony and Canon camcorders). But what a convenience! I now take it with me everywhere - without the large camera bag and accessories.Most importantly, the picture/video quality is outstanding. The features such as headphone jack and external mic were typically found only on professional cameras - features that are a 'must' if you want good sound.Editing AVCHD is tricky. My Adobe Premiere CS3 does not process AVCHD; I used Roxio (Creator 2010) to edit and create a short film. I also used Roxio 2010 to convert it to WMV, but the software stumbled/froze and gave me fits. It did ultimately work, though.I plan to purchase Adobe Premiere Elements 8 to edit in the future.Thanks to many other reviewers for their comments; those were valuable in helping me select the Canon HF200. ...

Moment 77mm using in stock lens canon glass and makes it look professional film like look on my lens. It is as if it a high end camera lens because of this lens protectection filter.

I owned a Nikon D810 camera and have several professional lenses which I very much like. Most are auto focus, which this lens isnt. However, focusing is quite easy and smooth and holding this lens in your hand one can tell it is well-constructed and balanced. I have not yet used this lens outside but used over Thanksgiving to take family photos inside the house. The photos are crisp and the colors are clean and vivid, indicating clearly superior optics. For the applications intended for (landscaping and still images), this is an excellent lens and I am glad I bought it.

Works well for my Canon Film Camera

I just bought a Canon 7D and wanted to get a professional look while shooting film. This is exactly what I was looking for. I found it extremely simple to set up and operate. The only downfall to my purchase would be that I should have bought the addition support system because the weight of the camera plus the weight of the Glidecam can get heavy over hours of shooting.

I have owned dozens of Canon Cameras from professional film ones then pocket digital point and shoot. I consider myself a semi professional and love this camera. It does everything from manual settings to totally automatic. The pictures are great, the down load is a breeze. It is so simple to operate, it took me a few minutes to figure it out. The owners manual is very clear and simple to follow. The lens is perfect for most photos but I will be getting the longer zoom lens in the near future.

Fits in my Canon Film Camera and works well

Most people would NOT believe this, but I am using the GOLD 200 Color Film in my Canon camera, that is a FTQL, with a Takamar 1.2 lens, that is approximately 50 years old. I bought this camera while in Vietnam, in 1969. I have taken pictures with this camera from Hawaii, to Madrid, Spain, and all places in between. After getting married and having 2 children, I got caught up raising a family, and after shooting a zillion pictures of my wife and kids, I put the camera away in 1984 and never touched it again until 2 months ago. I cleaned every centimeter of the camera body and lens, installed a new battery, and even cleaned the separate flash, that I purchased way back when. So far the pictures taken have turned out as beautiful, as if I had bought the camera yesterday. Of course as we all know, even if you have the very best equipment, the film makes all the difference in the world. The GOLD 200, and my old Canon FTQL, are back together again, giving me SUPER results.

I am not a professional but an enthusiast. I felt the new canon R8 would be too much like Canon RP so I purchased the R6 Mark II and I don't regret it for a second. The camera has a great feel and takes great pictures with my RF 24-105mm L lens, RF 16mm, RF 50mm, and RF 100-400mm lens. I can't afford the Canon professional lenses but what I have works very well with this camera. I still have a lot to learn with it but I expect to enjoy this camera for quite a while.

This is a pretty cool camera. Priced right. Not for professional use, but given to a niece for a film point and shoot.
