Is canon hf g40 any good?

The Canon VIXIA HF G40 is a very good camcorder. It's got the look and feel of a professional device but given that its targeted at prosumers, it doesn't skimp much on features. The video recordings are sharp and clear, even in low-light environments – a feature that is very much needed by users of all levels.
