Customer Review: Great solid state camera.
This is exactly what we were looking for. We were tired of mechanical camcorders that eventually break down and tapes that fail. The Canon is small, lightweight, and the battery lasts a long time. I added a second 8GB memory chip and we have hours of video between dumps to my computer. I haven’t tried editing the video files yet and will add that review later.
Customer Review: Totally Satisfactory for My Needs
I bought this as a replacement for my Sony MiniDV camcorder. The video quality is roughly the same using the default settings. However, because I can adjust many more settings on this, I end up shooting better video than I could have with the Sony. Read the rest of this entry

Customer Review: GREAT ALL AROUND CAMCORDER!
I bought this camcorder to make some fundraising movies for my 3 day breast cancer walk. It has been SO easy to use, and to create some GREAT looking videos. I took it out of the box, and shot some video then plugged it into my VISTA laptop and downloaded the video in about 3 minutes… Great for a first or casual user. Has some nice options like widescreen and SD card for still photos. The light only works very close up but is a nice option if you are interviewing someone at night. All in all I couldn’t be happier with this camera, and the price is AMAZING for the features you get… (lots of USEABLE features without all the useless bells and whistles that the $$$$$$ cameras have – that you never use anyhow) If something were to happen to this camera I would replace it with another zr850… The only thing I wish it had was a mic jack… but the built in mic does a fantastic job… see some video made with this camera at www.myspace/adels3day.com
Customer Review: ZR850 Excellent Value
I had a ZR200 Canon that I take everywhere. It was easy to use so after many hundreds of hours of filming sports events etc. it died. I didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars so I purchased this for about the same price I would have had to fix my old camera. This is an excellent camera expecially for price. Excellent Buy! I recommend this without any reservation. You can’t go wrong!! Read the rest of this entry

Customer Review: JVC MG330
I just bought a JVC MG330 and have to say that I am disappointed. Not in the video or picture quality, but in the downright feeble insistence on giving the video files a .mod extension, even though the clips are compatible with MPEG. The problem is that no video editor I have on file – and that are four – recognizes the extension. Nor do many of the Internet video delivery services. In other words I cannot edit the videos which I need for instructional purposes and have to buy a separate program that re-encodes the video, thereby losing quality. Despite its video quality, the camera is of no use to me. For anything in this world I cannot imagine why any manufacturer would limit its product artificially, a marketing decision that can only have been made by someone with an IQ of a ground worm.
Customer Review: Easy to use.
I’m not a techie, so this very easy camcorder is perfect for me. Turn on- point and shoot, takes great pictures. I need something that makes it easy or I won’t use it. Read the rest of this entry
