It's ideal for formal ceremonies, animals in the wild, candid family videos and more. Available in manual mode, Advanced Zoom takes the camcorder's telephoto power from 32.5mm all the way to 1853mm (35mm equivalent) for amazing flexibility in shooting. For more convenient shooting and better creative control over your videos, the camcorder offers continually variable Zoom Speed settings with 15 levels available. |
Optical Image StabilizationCanon's sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer helps correct camera shake quickly, so even handheld video taken at long focal lengths can be sharp and steady. Providing continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion, the Dynamic Image Stabilization system on the VIXIA HF R800 camcorder stabilizes rotational camera shake. Controlling rotational camera shake – horizontal, vertical and roll axis – helps ensure smooth, virtually distortion-free video, even when you're walking while shooting. |

DIGIC DV 4 Image ProcessorThe VIXIA HF R800 camcorder incorporates the powerful DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor for outstanding imaging performance. The DIGIC DV 4 Image Processor captures more light, for brighter, virtually noise-free images even in dark scenes.

MP4 1080/60p Recording1080/60p recording captures a large amount of information, virtually eliminating diagonal noise so even fast-moving subjects can show up crisply.

First, they are almost the same size, but the Canon looks and feel a bit sturdier. Both are very light weight but the Canon feels like less of a toy. Both have clean HDMI out. The Canon uses mini HDMI, the Sony uses Micro HDMI. The Canon has a microphone input, the Sony doesn't.
In use the first thing I noticed was that the Canon has an on/off switch. The Sony turns on when the screen flips open. The Canon can run plugged in without the battery, the Sony has to have a battery in order to turn on even if the power is plugged in. If your battery is low, the Sony gives an error message saying it cannot record and charge at the same time. The LCD screen on the Canon is vastly better. It's touch screen and is much higher quality. The Sony uses a joystick.
In terms of picture quality in good light, they are similar. The Canon has a bit warmer color tone. The Canon is miles better than the Sony in anything less than perfect lighting. The Canon autofocus is so much better. The Sony some time hunt and often falls asleep. I'd have to wave my hands in from of the lens to wake up the autofocus. In too bright or low light, the Sony autofocus is helpless. One thing the Sony has over the Canon is its lens is wider at the widest setting.
I must admit, my use of these 2 camcorders is atypical. I only use it for streaming. Even with a perfect lighting setup, the Canon is so much better in every single way that I bought 2 more Canons. At $139 for my used Sony I'll find a use for it. But I highly recommend the Canon over the Sony.
I love how easy these cameras are to use, but it would behoove any first time user to spend a little time with the manual going through and arranging the settings one by one to make sure everything is set just how you want it for your purposes before you start shooting. That being said, you can use it right out of the box without messing with anything if you don't feel like it. I love the touch screen and that you can flip it around to face you if you're filming a YouTube video for instance, so you can see what is being captured and frame your shot correctly. The picture is sharp and clear! My only complaint is that I wish the battery life were longer. That being said, I don't know that it's any worse than other similar cameras at similar price ranges, and it will last for an entire concert which is mostly what I use it for anyway. If you need the battery to last longer, I suggest buying one of those plug in batteries that you can connect to an outlet and use as long as you want.
I also have to say I'm REALLY thrilled that these are offered refurbished on Amazon! If you're nervous about the word "refurbished" don't be. These cameras come looking and working like new and you save a boat load of money! I buy refurbished on Amazon whenever I can and I've never been burned! I highly recommend this camera for all kinds of uses, especially for entry level YouTubers or those who don't have enough room on their smart phones to capture everything they want to capture. For the record I paid full price for this! Hope this helps!
