    Good Points: Excellent pictures and really handy to carry around. Easy menu system.


    Bad Points: Really problematic noise pick up from the internals and the only way I could get rid of it was to turn it down during the editing stage where ever the contents of the scene would permit.

    It really was bad at first and during a phone call to CANON, they told me that it was to be expected becuase of the size of the instrument.

    Strangely, since the last shoot, the noise has completely disappeared: I don't know how this happened - can anyone explain


    General comments: Generaly, the Canon MVX2i camera is of good design and meets all of my needs. The picture quality on my widescreen plasma TV is almost equal to broadcast quality.

    However, I too had to put up with the noise from the internals.

    I would have liked to have a thread for screw-in filters and an attachment shoe for things like external microphone or lamp.

    BEWARE the motor noise on the Canon MVX2i is VERY BAD in certain situations. If used outdoors with plenty of background noise then the motor noise will be hardly noticeable, but if you're trying to shoot a quiet scene you have NO CHANCE. The noise is horrendous.
    Anyone who has the MVX2i and is stuck with it there is an answer. SONY make a microphone that's small and can attach to the strap of the camcorder, this gets rid of the noise, but looks rubbish and you have to remember to switch it on, ...

    Of all the reviews I have read, the motor noise appears to be everyones problem. However, I must say that the Canon MVX2i that I purchased from Jessops is as silent as a stalking cat. The picture quality is excellent. I can't think of anything to let me criticise this camcorder.

    If you are looking for a small camcorder, this in my book is the best you can get (at present).

    I have to totally disagree with all the other reviews of the Canon MVX2i. I have just videoed a friends wedding and am thoroughly impressed with the results and had no problem with the sound. I would recommend this camera

    I just bought the MVX2i from Canon and this is the impression it left behind. First of all the camera looks great! It's got all the features and inputs/outputs that you need and alot of the various functions can be remotely controlled. The rotating grip is not as practical as they want you to believe (I found it bulky) and the zoom button is a little hard to reach. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to test the camera thoroughly since it only took me about 20 minutes to figure out that it was g ...
