Shopper conversation with Daniel H. on July 29, 2016

Daniel H.
Hi! I'm Dan. How are you?
Did you have a video question I could help with?
Good
Can i hook this camcorder up to my tv to play the movies?
Daniel H.
let me check that
vixia hfr72?
Yes
Daniel H.
what type of hook up do you have on your tv?
Are you still there?
I have a jvc model
Daniel H.
does it have a HDMI input?
Yes.
Daniel H.
the camera has a HDMI out so you should be able to hook up a hdmi from camera to tv and be set!
Does it come with the cable to hook it up with?
Daniel H.
it does not include a hdmi cable
would you like to see some that we have available?
If so, how many feet away would you likely have your camera from the tv?
15 feet.
Daniel H.
okay -- I can show you what we have in that range
Ok
Daniel H.
that is a Hosa 25' hdmi cable..
now we do have some 12' ones but if anything you would want a few extra feet..
ahh nm that is on backorder ugh
that is an alternative brand
Are these cables used to hook it up to my android noot book?
Daniel H.
that is likely a mini usb
a hdmi is a video cable wheras a mini usb is a data and charging cable
Do they come with it?
Daniel H.
that cable is not included with the camera, no
Could you help me place this order with what i need
Daniel H.
yes
on the item on the screen.. the hdmi cable.. click add to cart
then check back here for other item, the camera
Ok.
I have a jvc hand held cam corder that i 10 years old and about 4 times the size as this one. It has a 450 zoom lense on it. Will the zoom be as lone in distance as my old cam corder?
Daniel H.
optical zoom is 32 and up to 1140 digital so yes
you can zoom in over twice as much
So the zoom on this camera is better than my old one.
Daniel H.
yes, correct
you can zoom in further!
Good i have been concerned about that. We just got back off of a three week trip driving up the north east us and canada. And i have got some great movies with my old canera.so this camera is alot better than my old camera?
Daniel H.
from the information you provided me.. I would say yes
you should be able to record stuff in higher quality.. and display it in higher quality as well
you will also benefit from better optical and digital zoom features
I am going to go ahead and order this one. What about a mfg. Warrenty?
Daniel H.
Canon has a 1 year warranty
you can get extended coverage if you like as well
What about their return policy?
Daniel H.
we accept returns in same condition received
they would reduce refund by shipping cost and ask that you pay for return shipping (whatever method you choose)
Is there a spacific period of return?
Daniel H.
up to 30 days
that site has all the info
was there anything else I could answer for you?
No. Thanks,again for your help.
Daniel H.
okay perfect -- hope you enjoy your weekend then!
Daniel i could not locate the cable to connect to my tv.
Daniel H.
one moment
click on that link above
or search for ppa3862
that should show a PPA 25' hdmi cable.. and I show it in stock
was that able to work out?
