Mojoe Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) 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 http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/vixia_hf_s30 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.

wagner Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 How well does this shoot in low light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I can't say from experiance, I never really used it. All the specs say it's a pretty bad ass camera. I can only go off what the specs say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go off what the specs say. I might see if I can find some info on that, I need something that does better in low light. The fact this can take two cards at one time is very nice.

Mojoe Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 When is says it will do 12 hours of recording, that's a full day event. Even if you get a back up battery, you're way ahead of the game, with power and memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
