Canon Vixia HF M400 review

By C. Williams (Morgantown, WV)

I have had the Canon HV20 HD camcorder and other MiniDV based camcorders before that. I wanted to finally make the jump to a non-tape based camcorder, and this new sensor with reported better low light capabilities seemed to fit. So I bought the Canon M41 (all three M4XXX models have this new sensor), and wow am I impressed with my first footage. I will post a more detailed review at some point, but I wanted anybody who is considering an upgrade from something like the HV20 to know that based on my personal experience and looking back at comparison footage that this M41 is definitely better. The colors are more accurate, and the overall video quality justs looks much nicer when comparing footage. And of course without even using any of the alternate frame rate options to improve the low light capability any further, the default out of the box low light performance on 60i was clearly much better than my HV20. And as expected I am already in love with the tapeless workflow. Due to the straight mapping of the sensor size to the HD video (which means no additional compression or processing needed to 1920X1080), it is not going to take high resolution still pictures (I use my DSLR for that and don’t care). The touchscreen could be higher resolution, and the menu interface is a little awkward as some have mentioned. But video quality was my #1 priority with a new camcorder, and Canon sure seemed to get it right with my initial testing. So definitely buy this camcorder if video quality matters to you.

Comments about Canon VIXIA HF M400 Flash Memory Camcorder:
Former owner of Canon HV30 which is a great camcorder. Ive been looking for a camcorder that takes better video indoors than the HV30. This camcorder fills the bill. I think its best suited for those like me who like to shoot in auto mode. Manual mode has quite a few adjustments including control over gain but the touch screen is awkward to use and difficult to see in bright daylight. Despite those negatives I think this camcorder is a real winner because of the new pro sensor that’s in it. Canons other models that use the same sensor cost twice as much. For me price is a big deal since I use 3 camcorders for weddings videos. Still pictures are mediocre at best but so what.

The Canon Vixia HF M400 takes great HD video in a variety of situations in canon vixia hf m400full auto mode, and features such as face tracking, touch focus and touch exposure make the need to access manual controls via the touchscreen menu less likely. The good automatic performance helps avoid the need to use the horrible touchscreen menus, and makes the Canon Vixia HF M400 easier to live with.
