Full review:
We have a soft spot for the Canon MVX35i because it incorporates many recent improvements to the range. We hoped for some sort of diffuser to soften the onboard LED video light, and lo and behold, we got it. We wanted to be able to turn on the LED light whenever we felt like it, independent of Night mode, and we now have that capability as well. The camera remains well designed, ergonomically and functionally solid, suitable for a coat pocket, and it doubles as a decent still camera. That video light, plus the MVX35i's higher-resolution LCD, give this camcorder a noticeable edge over its less expensive sibling, the MVX30i. Continue Reading...
