Skip to Video Samples: 1:32 | Don't buy the Canon Ivy Rec at full price. It's not worth it. For $35 2nd hand? Maybe. Also yes it is possible to set this camera to 1080p60, see instructions here: drekitech.com/how-to-set-the-canon-ivy-rec-camera-to-1080p-60
So this extended review is mostly video samples, which is sort of how I want to film future action cam videos. And it's rare that I find a camera good enough I can do almost the entire narration with! Everything except the intro (and a few sample clips here and there) was recorded on the Ivy Rec. Astounding! Other action cam makers, listen up, Canon has set the bar for audio quality.

Too bad I can't say the same for video. There's a good amount of detail (if it's in focus, which mostly it is not), there's decent colour, but come on Canon. This camera is even based on hardware that can do 4K, however, I suspect Canon locks it out because it cannot do EIS at 4K.
