Our take on the Canon VIXIA HF G40

The Canon VIXIA HF G40 is a handheld camcorder with a 20x optical zoom, for streamers who need to frame distant subjects. At a tracked $946.69 it sits near the top of a $639.41 to $987.01 range since August 9, 2026, so wait for a dip.

The listing gives 1080/60p MP4 recording, a 3.5 inch OLED screen with a viewfinder, optical image stabilization and dual SD card slots. Wi-Fi with FTP transfer is built in. Video stops at 1080p, so there is no 4K. A real camera needs a capture card for OBS. It weighs 2 pounds. Retailer rating is 4.3 across 98 ratings.

Pros
  • 20x optical zoom
  • Optical image stabilization
  • Dual SD card slots
Cons
  • Tracked $307 above its low
  • Video tops out at 1080p
  • Needs a capture card for OBS
