I bought the Canon VIXIA HF R400 a few months ago because it was very highly rated and easy to use. It seems like its not so available online. Im happy with this one, and they are known to be one of the better brands. The similar models are probably very similar.http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/consumer_camcorders/consumer_camcorders/vixia_hf_r400
How much did you pay for it?
