I have previously owned a Canon video camera with no viewfinder as well as other video cameras with viewfinders. As a non- professional, I say that the Canon Vixa HF G30 is by far the best I have ever used! It will probably be he last one I buy for a very long time.
- has a viewfinder - shoots in HD - options galore! - light- weight; portable - holds 2 SD cards simultaneously
If you want to call it a negative, it is a the price; But I think it is worth every penny
