Hi
I want to buy a Canon Vixia in order to film my daughter while she's surfing. Either from beach or either on a kayak. Strictly for filming surfing with zoom. I don't need top notch professional quality as the videos will be used for training analysis and a couple of home edited clips.
I also don't want to spend a grand on the camera either.
Which model would you recommend for the use o will be doing? Thanks y'all in advance I appreciate the help.

Greetings,
For video, I kind of like the G70 refurb. Its under your budget too.

You should also consider a stills camera with video capability. You may be surprised with the versatility it can offer when you aren't at the beach shooting surfing.
If you are going to take any camera in the ocean, I'd get a CarePak.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into the g70 refurb.
As for the stills camera I've been told the same by a few people but I am not interested in those.
Thanks again, have a beautiful day!
