Once you have decided that you want to buy a Canon video camera, the time comes for you to take a close look and examine some Canon video camera reviews. Even though you've long decided on the Canon brand, reading up on some of the more recent reviews will help you figure out exactly which model will be right for you. This is helpful because there are many video camera models offered by most camera companies and Canon is certainly not the exception.
The first question, though, is what is it about Canon that makes them the right brand for you to choose? The answer to this is pretty simple really. Unlike most other players in the video camera business, Canon has been in the photography game for decades. Not only do they make a lot of their own components, but they are one of the few big brand name video camera makers to use their own lenses. The lens, incidentally, is something that can make a big difference for the overall quality of the device you use.
Canon cameras have come to embody what is often considered the gold standard in the camcorder world. There is little, if anything, that can be found on a competitor's camera that couldn't be found on one of Canon's. The bottom line is that Canon video cameras are a very solid choice. Now all you need to do is find out about the individual models that Canon sells. There is a lot to be learned but the key is finding a place that can get that information across as best as possible.
Canon's website:
The write ups that Canon puts of their own products are informative, but obviously biased and won't necessarily point you towards the model that's best for you. Also, they while they give you a good and honest breakdown of what each of their video camera models can do, they shouldn't really be considered reviews in the traditional sense.
Reviews in magazines:
Getting Canon video camera reviews out of consumer magazines can be hard. For one thing, it will be hard to find a magazine that reviews more than one basic Canon model and will only really serve to strengthen or weaken your faith in the brand.
Also, it's hard to find a consumer magazine that offers reviews from a point of view that suits you. The camera magazines will often be talking over your head, and discussing things that you don't need for your everyday shooting. The non specialized magazines will often miss the point on a lot of key features.
Online reviews:
The professional reviews you'll find on websites are handy. In those cases, you'll find that you can get a wide assortment of new and archived Canon video camera reviews, as well as other brands in case you still want to compare. Because of the medium, you'll likely have an easier time finding reviews on the internet that speak to what kind of thing you are looking for.
Consumer reviews:
Looking at Canon video camera reviews made by consumers can be both good and bad. It can often help you get a different point of view, and feedback on newer features you may have never considered before. Be aware though that in many places, consumer reviews are very unbalanced. People are more likely to write complaints than compliments, and in many cases the complaints are coming from people that don't really understand the product.
