I’m going to try this for wedding ceremonies inside low lit churches. Sounds easier than using my current mirrorless and be constantly adjusting settings, switching lenses or worrying about the 30mm limit. I was using an older JVC but it was bad at low light.
Yes, the DSLR and Mirrorless 30-minute limit can hurt you, especially in important wedding ceremonies. This isn't the best low-light camcorder, but definitely far from bad.
Awesome! There was a lot of motion blur in your footage but in house shots really show what this camera can doo. I am grateful to you for all effort that you put into this and for the Penny for keeping you right 😄
Excellent, buddy, thank you very much. The low-light cityscape footage is selling me. Your home interior footage at various times of day was very helpful as well. If you're still addressing this thread, could you please discuss a GoPro 9's convenience of size & quick capture for a travel movie, vs the Canon for the same purpose? The GP doesn't do low-light very well (and the Canon does), but what other features would you consider in choosing either the convenience of the GP for walking & shooting in all conditions vs the Canon HF G50? Thanks again.
Dude this was great, very practical/incredibly helpful! The strip looked awesome on this! I need something for YT videos and recording sports with a solid optical zoom. I've been using an old Vixia HF R800, time for an upgrade, especially low light!
Thank you so much.... glad you liked it. I moved from a basic Sony, to a few Panasonic camcorders, and landed here. I have no need to upgrade from here...I love this camera, and I think you will too.
Thanks my brother. I think I got it figured out. Mine didn't come with a Wireless remote so i had to order a old W LD88 from Canon on ebay $13.00 lol I want to be able to stand away from the camera . Love your shot's Thank's for replying back
Wow...This is amazing low light footage coming from a 1/2.3" sensor. I am torn between upgrading to a Mirrorless camera for video vs a camcorder. I currently have a decade old Vixia HF21, and I think it is time for an upgrade. I think Vixia HF-G50 would be a great option to upgrade. Thank you for posting this video. I am really amazed by the low light footage.
This camcorder gives me everything I wanted without being a full on cinema camera...I could not be happier. I prefer camcorders to DSLR (or mirrorless) because I like my camera to perform one function, instead of hybrid functions, and this G50 does everything I need. Maybe a wider lens adaptor in the distant future, but for now, I love it and I think you would too.
@@Ahm-Creative Mirrorless would probably someday replace camcorders, but it isn't quite there yet. Especially 30 min limit is annoying when you have to shoot a concert or conference. I am also contemplating on Canon SL-2. It could cost far less since I already have a slew of EOS lenses. But nothing beats the convenience of a camcorder.
I got this camera last year and am trying to perfect my skills on recording my boys' football games. Any recommendations for recording football games during the day?
Hard to say without knowing what it looks like outside during game time, but I would suggest using the auto picture settings, as well as image stabilization. There's also a built in polarizer that could help even out the lighting, if the sun is really high up and bright during game time. I don't use them, but most cameras have a Sports setting in the auto menu, so that might be an option for you to consider as well.
Again great footage. A thought about setting your shutter speed with frames per second at 0dB. Double the speed to the fps... aka 1/60 at 30fps. That will give you a smooth motion blur similar to how your eye picks it up.
@@Ahm-Creative glad to hear you got there... I started into video after taking a shooting DSLR video with Philip Bloom. I have to refer when I see an jumpy or weird motion. Keep it going!
Glad I came across this video yes I know its over a year old. You be surprised how many videos there is of this camera but nobody shots any video from it, Just unbox it and go over the features. Thats fine but I want to see it in action than decide if I want it or notm why I like this video because you shot stuff with it to show what it can do. Since wanting to break into the youtube game, trying to find the right camera that is on a budget. But I'm leaning to this camera as the kind of long term investment without over the top spending. The videos you shot look sharp. I know my house is low light in the evens with lights on even. This shows it does well but clearly I know I need some lights to really film but good to know its still not going to be grandy in some cases. Ive looked at so many camera from camcorder to DSLR which is the popular thing these days. But just not a fan of the whole 30 min and cuts off on most DSLR/ Mirrorless have. Because I know I will have situations where its going to be longer than 30 mins and I want the camera to not have to try and stop someone in mid thought to it record again. Why I learning to a Camcorder that the only limits is memory card space or Battery life.
I'm really glad you liked my video, and I, like you, didn't want to use a DSLR for filming. My DSLR is strictly for my photography, which is why I wanted a camcorder. And yes, many people only show unboxing and features with a little filming.....I wanted to show everything this camcorder could record, especially in low light, and I think it did great on the Vegas strip, even with the ISO/ Gain setting at it's lowest.
I'm looking to purchase a camcorder for my podcast and been researching for weeks. Narrowed it down to 4 and was hoping to get some advice on a final decision. I narrowed it down to the Sony FDR-AX53, Panasonic HC-VXF1, Canon HF-G50 and Canon HF-G60. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Linop412. I haven't tried the Sony or Canon G60, but I did have the Panasonic VXf1 and returned it for the G50. I just didn't like the colors of the Panasonic for some reason. I still have my Panasonic VX-870K, but the VXF1 didn't seem the same to me. As for the G50/60, I've never used the G60, but the only major difference I can see between the two is the recording speeds in 4K. Otherwise, the G50 still seems to be the more popular camera and I have not had an ounce of trouble with it. It has been perfect for me. Aside from UA-cam videos, I use my G50 for product videos, and it has yet to let me down. I'm sure I'll have this camera for YEARS to come, and I think you'd be happy with it too, unless you need the faster 4K recording speeds of the G60. Otherwise, this is a safe bet.
Thank you for the information!! that really helped me understand the camera's low light capabilities. My one piece of advice is to slow down your panning a lot! its hard to follow when you move that fast
I'm glad you found the video informative... and thanks for the tip. I really thought I was panning slowly and smoothly, but I'll definitely slow down. Learning as I go 😉
@@Ahm-Creative Completely understand! A lot of my videos when I first got the camera were the same way. It took a videographer friend of mine showing me the proper way to do it. Have a great Day Sir!
That's awesome! I'm really glad you liked my video and will get one! Hopefully you'll consider using my affiliate link in the description, as it really helps me out a lot. If not, I still thank you for watching ;-)
Damn, that camera is impressive. That's exactly the kind of low light performance I'm looking for. I'm gonna grab one if they go on sale during the holidays. Great video.
Your lighting is so good at 5:30-8:30 and the end! So clean! I have the G50 as well, but I only use it on auto for live-streaming at my church. I look forward to learning more about the camera and its capabilities. I aspire to shoot at this quality!
Thank you so so much. It has taken me a while to get to this point, but I think I've finally found that sweet spot.... but I'm still learning as I go. The G50 is one of my best purchases, and I have yet to use it's full capability.

@@streamingvideomusic8873 Hey, I don't have the camera at home with me, but I can check when I get into the office this week. It was a pretty easy setting for clean hdmi. But I will send you a DM this week with my experience with it!
what camera do you prefer when shooting a sport such as football? I’m trying to get into videography in sports highlights & i’m thinking on buying this camera.
Honestly, the extent of my videography goes no further than my UA-cam videos and product videos for my commercial clients, and they're typically slow paced. But I'll say, in good lighting, this camera does focus and track well. A DSLR might be faster at focus tracking, but this camera won't let you down, and you'll get much more recording time.
Absolutely! No need to jump in full speed, while you're still learning and figuring your path. I was all over the place when I first started this channel, but now I have a clear direction, and it's working for me.
Thank you for the nice comment. The nd filter works great actually, but I tend to shy away from auto type features... other than auto focus. But the built in filters are amazing.... especially when you have a blown out sky.
Well that's very good quality. The low light test is good. I'm trying to buy to camcorders for church recordings, that's why I'm debating heavily between ax43 and the G50.
Thank you... glad you liked the video... and I wish I could help with other cameras, but I only have the G50 and Panasonic VX870K and I prefer the G50 overall
@@Ahm-Creative well I'm going to deeply consider the advice. I need to think about it for another week or so. I like taking my time and then deciding after gather info and research
I'm curious about the minimum focus distance of this camera. The specs say 60cm, or 1cm at full wide angle (which I'm assuming means zoomed out all the way). But what is the focus distance with it zoomed in only a small amount? Or does the min focus distance change to 60cm the moment you zoom in at all?
I'd imagine once you begin to zoom in, the minimum focus distance will change. I haven't tried it yet, but since you can focus manually, you may be able to still have that close of a focus distance when zoomed in a bit.
I haven't used it in very low light conditions often, but the times I have were brilliant. With stage lighting and a spotlight, I think it will perform up to standard, even at a relatively low ISO
2nd question different video, have you tried to do a depth of field with the camera. I believe it will do it. I was looking for a video on the subject. I would like to do some personal interviews and I like the blur around the subject. I'm using almost the identical set up as you.
Unfortunately, the G50 sensor is different than that of a DSLR. The way camcorders are designed, they keep most everything in frame, in focus. So even though I record wide open at f/1.8, it is hard to get a blurred background because of my proximity to my wall. If you focus on something close, you will get the background blur, but because the G50 lens isn't that wide, you will likely not fit into the frame being so close. So while it is capable, you won't get the results we see from DSLR video shooters.
Have been dithering on getting a camcorder to slot in below my A7iii and above my Pocket 2. This seems to have just about the right performance for low light without breaking the bank toooo hard. Did you do any post on the strip footage?
hello, did you encounter any jerky video issues during fast 4k shooting? I saw on youtube that someone noticed them, thanks and sorry my english i am italian :)
Hello from Italy and thank you for watching my video :-). I have not noticed any jerky really except in this video, when I pan the camera on the Las Vegas Strip before I start driving, it looked a little off to me, but once I started driving, it was very smooth. Aside from what I noticed when panning, it's been perfect.
@@Ahm-Creative sorry your video is very good i would like to buy the g50 and i wanted to know if there are any problems during pan and fast zoom, but you reassured me about the quality of the camcoder🙂
I thought about it, but for my needs, I see no reason to. I don't shoot in extremely low light, and 4K 30p is awesome... so I'm staying with what I have.
@@wdrcinsantodomingo No, I only used a Nikon D90 once for video, but that was when they were the first to offer it in a DSLR. I like my DSLR's strictly for photos, no hybrid video, which is why I bought the G50. And I love it this way. They're both awesome for their purposes.
Great video Ahmed. Very good low light capabilities. Ive just bought some polarizers and nd filters for my panasonic, going to see how it pans out. :-)
Thank you! The built-in ND filters work great on the Canon, but I like to use my gear in full manual mode as much as possible, and when playing around...practicing, the ND filter seemed to kick in at the wrong time for me when would Zoom in on something, so I opted to just leave it off.
I shoot in Manual Mode almost all the time, because it gives me full control of the aperture, shutter speed, frame rate, and most importantly ISO or Gain. Some of the preset modes may have auto gain, and that may ruin your shot, depending upon what you're going for. Manual may be best... you'll have total control.
@@Ahm-Creative Ok, good to know. I'm still researching camcorders and what the best possible choice for work and play. I'm perplexed with a decision still on weather to go with camcorder or Mirrorless camera. I'm looking at possibly choosing between Sony ax53, Sony ax43 canon G50, but also the Sony a6100. I'm wanting to make sure I can buy two of what ever cameras I do purchase for two camera setup. I've been debating within myself for about two months now. Lol. Maybe in just trying to be picky.
Lol I actually just had it sitting there on a towel, to help absorb some of the vibrations. If I accelerated, stopped or turned hard, I'd reach up and hold it, but otherwise, it just sat there. It's risky, but if you're careful, you'll be ok.
Unfortunately, it does not. I tried every mode in 4K and 1080P, but there's just a night mode, scene mode, fireworks mode and low light.... but no infrared.
I think some people started sleeping on this model when Canon announced the G60, but it seems the G50 is still the more popular camera. Canon got it right with this one.
@@Ahm-Creative tried posting link to my rig for you to see. You get chance check it out on my channel. May give you some great ideas to place that camcorder into a cage! Later

I thought about it, but for my needs, I see no reason to. I don't shoot in extremely low light, and 4K 30p is awesome... so I'm staying with what I have.
@@Ahm-Creative have you ever used a sony dslr or micro 4 thirds for video?
@@wdrcinsantodomingo No, I only used a Nikon D90 once for video, but that was when they were the first to offer it in a DSLR. I like my DSLR's strictly for photos, no hybrid video, which is why I bought the G50. And I love it this way. They're both awesome for their purposes.
i have the same camera i shoot videos was a good program
Was this video shot with the G50?
Yes, from start to finish.
Beautiful color in the background. You seem to have good eye for film. Two thumbs up. Hood video.
I'm learning as I go, but thank you so much!
Great video Ahmed. Very good low light capabilities. Ive just bought some polarizers and nd filters for my panasonic, going to see how it pans out. :-)
Thank you! The built-in ND filters work great on the Canon, but I like to use my gear in full manual mode as much as possible, and when playing around...practicing, the ND filter seemed to kick in at the wrong time for me when would Zoom in on something, so I opted to just leave it off.
WOW , great.
Hi, my friend! Help me, please! I can't handle noises in low light... In what mode is it better to shoot and with what settings?
I shoot in Manual Mode almost all the time, because it gives me full control of the aperture, shutter speed, frame rate, and most importantly ISO or Gain.
Some of the preset modes may have auto gain, and that may ruin your shot, depending upon what you're going for.
Manual may be best... you'll have total control.
Definitivamente esta Vídeocamara es mejor que la Sony FDR AX53 👍
Can you actually zoom in tight all the way and keep the Aperture at F1.8, or does it still move to a slower aperture?
No, it immediately moves to a slower aperture, but stops at f/2.8. After it reaches f/2.8, you can stay there no matter how much futher you zoom.
@@Ahm-Creative Ok, good to know. I'm still researching camcorders and what the best possible choice for work and play. I'm perplexed with a decision still on weather to go with camcorder or Mirrorless camera. I'm looking at possibly choosing between Sony ax53, Sony ax43 canon G50, but also the Sony a6100. I'm wanting to make sure I can buy two of what ever cameras I do purchase for two camera setup. I've been debating within myself for about two months now. Lol. Maybe in just trying to be picky.
@@JustinLetandre absolutely nothing wrong with being picky. I'd rather be picky than have buyers remorse.
How did you mount the camcorder on your car dashboard?
Lol I actually just had it sitting there on a towel, to help absorb some of the vibrations.
If I accelerated, stopped or turned hard, I'd reach up and hold it, but otherwise, it just sat there.
It's risky, but if you're careful, you'll be ok.
I'm definitely getting this camcorder
I love everything about mine.
Whats the stabilization like
Pretty decent. The roughest terrain I've used it on is driving the strip, but it's served me well there. All highway bumps are absorbed.
What did you capture your speaking portion with?
I honestly cannot remember, but it was either the Shure SM7B or the Shure SM58....but I'm leaning more towards the SM7B.
Does it have infrared night vision? Because under specification at Best Buy it states that it does.
Unfortunately, it does not. I tried every mode in 4K and 1080P, but there's just a night mode, scene mode, fireworks mode and low light.... but no infrared.
@@Ahm-Creative thanks for the response, I still think it’s an amazing camcorder. 👍🏼
@@trujilloproductions No problem. I love everything about it thus far. Zero complaints.
Good camera big dub big sub
Very much appreciated! I am loving this camera... extremely happy with the purchase.
how do I get to your remote video
I hope this is the video you're looking for.

thank you for your reply ,I enjoy your videos very much .....
@@AlanOwen thank you so much! I only hope to get better as I go.... please stay tuned :-)
I am watching your Channel from Germany. Thank you for your opinion about the g50
@@thogro2711 that is so awesome! Thank you for watching.
This thing outputs 422 1080p 10bit to atomos at 29.97 and no one talks about this. Not even eos rp can do that!
I think some people started sleeping on this model when Canon announced the G60, but it seems the G50 is still the more popular camera. Canon got it right with this one.
@@Ahm-Creative tried posting link to my rig for you to see. You get chance check it out on my channel. May give you some great ideas to place that camcorder into a cage! Later
@@gereral1_jackofalltrades I have mine outfitted with just a niceyrig handle, but I will definitely look into a cage. I'll swing by your channel now.
Thanks!
Thank you for your help. I see you have 1000 followers. I take it you are monetized.
Just about. I need to increase my "watch hours", but I am nearly there. Still building, but you watching really helps this channel grow. Thank you!
you may want to invest in a tripod !!
I have TONS...but this was an on the fly update, and I already had more gear with me than I wanted to carry...but I think I did pretty good considering the long zoom.
Thanks for watching...I really hope you found it helpful 😉
@@Ahm-Creative thanks, good job :)
@@Ahm-Creative is the camera still working good, thinking of buying one? thanks
