Thanks, the camera is a Canon ELPH 310 HS which is a inexpensive point-and-shoot. But it far better than the Aiptek 1080p camera I was using. The Canon does have optical telephoto and also shoots at 24 fps. It also has far less shutter roll than the Aiptek. The Canon also does far better in low light which was useful at last night's birthday bash. The Vixia is a good choice however you'd need to put that camera on a tripod to film a bug's butt at 50 feet. ;-) A lot of the shots I took yesterday were zoomed in a bit and so any shake was more noticeable. This is just an interim casual camera. My last expensive camera was a Sony HD1 when it was released in 2005. It has a very nice Zeiss lens on it but it uses tape and way behind compared to today's technology. My choice for a more expensive camera would be a DSLR probably a Canon T3i since it has a reticulating viewfinder and you can change lenses for it. And there is the Magic Lantern hack that adds all kinds of pro filmmaker features to Canon DSLRs.
