My r700 is great except for its mushy, soft focus. Whether up close or far away, wideangle or zoomed, auto or manual, the picture is never sharp.Trees, leaves, grass, hair and other fine details are lost—it’s sad that my iPhone takes sharper video th...
I bought two VIXIA HF R800s to record my church's services. The problem that I have is that if I frame a round two people, one may be in focus and the other 2 to 3 feet away side by side will be completely out of focus. It seems like the depth of fie...

I'm considering buying the XC15, but I'll need audio and a top handle, and the XC15's included audio unit (the MA-400) is bulky and not a handle. Could I replace that audio unit with the hande/audio unit of a Canon C100? Do they use the same handle-t...

The video files from my XA10's internal hard drive have disappeared. Is there a way to recover them? The only thing I can think of re: what happened is that I tried to transfer some old XA10 files from my Mac to the XA10, and literally everything dis...
