FS: Cannon Camcorder vixia HF S30 $475

[Mojoe]

I bought this with the intent on doing more car video's and maybe some snowboarding vids. What is comes down to is, I just don't like to be the camera guy and I'm not all that good at it.

This set up will do way more than I ever needed and I only used it 2 times to figure this out. I have owned it for about 9 month's and now I'm just looking to get it to someone who will have more use for it. Original cost was over $1000.

32G gig internal memory, with 2 slots for additional SD memory

The VIXIA HF S30 can record up to 12 hours of the most crisp, high definition video possible, with a 32GB internal flash drive. It is also equipped with two SDXC-compatible memory card slots, but it gets even better. With Relay Recording, the camcorder automatically switches video recording from the internal drive to the next available SD memory card, when the memory becomes full.
