Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder (Black) (Renewed)

The camera is in excellent condition. It works perfectly.

Works as it should. Fits nicely in hand and very lightweight. Pretty straightforward operation. Produces nice videos with a touch of nostalgia.

My first camcorder so I guess I’m a bit biased when I say it’s great! The Zoom function with that auto-focus won me over! It’s a good value, although I don’t think it should cost so much; maybe $100 less. It’s lightweight & very easy to use. If you’re a lefty I hope you’re ambidextrous. The manual is available online & there’s a forum you can access if you have specific questions. Good quality & functionality.

The Camera is great...just a little pricey.

it is great . especially for the deal being refurbished . everything works great

I needed a HD camcorder quick as the Logitch webcam I was using is no longer up to the job (dynamic range, focus, and other issues). This Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder gave me exactly what I needed at a great price; not that much more than a webcam, but far greater performance. Its well-packaged, with all the cables and a minimum of faff, no pointless inch-thick manuals you never use or CDs that go directly into the bin. I have a 10+ year old Canon VIXIA HF20, so know the brand and its reliability. That camcorder has been around the world many times, dropped, kicked, and through tropical rainstorms several times. And it still works! So looking forward to a similar experience, at a great price.

I bought this Canon VIXIA HF R800 Camcorder that came with the wrong power cord. It has to plug into the camera with the battery attached to charge it up. The one they sent looked like a 1/8 head phone jack, so I bought another one, as it claimed to be the power cord for this particular model. It just falls out. So far, I'm about $500 into a door stop. I've included a picture of the charger jack they sent me, next to the input. Radically different shape. Also, the camera requires a 5.5 DC input, while the charger they sent me puts out 8.5 DC. Even if I could connect it, this would cause major problems. The camera won't charge without a connection cable and the one they sent with the phone is obviously unrelated to the Canon VIXIA HF R800. I'm ordering a separate charger now, but I have little faith that this thing will work. How can I depend on a camera refurbished by people who can't tell an earbud jack from a charger jack? And the replacement cable is a different size then the 'refurbished' one. What a cruel joke this is. Don't buy refurbished things from Canon or Amazon.

Bought several of these to do livestreaming at our church. Works well. What sets this apart from the cheap ($100-$150) "4K" cameras is that it has a real zoom lens. Technology is 10 years old but on a budget, it works well in less than abundant light.
