Alright, so I've been in the market for a camera for a little while. I want an HD camera 1080p 60fps, however I have a low price range (trying to keep it under $400) and will mostly be using this camcorder for shooting skiing, backyard and on the slope. After some research I've found that this looks like a good camera.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this camera, what their thoughts were.

I would also love to hear any recommendations for good cameras that meet my broad criteria. Thanks for looking!

Here's a link to the canon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00322ON8S/ref=asc_df_B00322ON8S1268179?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B00322ON8S&tag=cnet-4079-20

well its got an image sensor smaller than most phones, and it only records 60i, not 60p. It doesn't even do native 30p. I don't have experience, but i can tell you now that that camera will not give you the best footage you've ever seen

Buy an HF 10. They're cheaper refurbished.
