I moved into the DVD-camcorder scene a bit late - I think I bought this one at a point when several (other brands) cameras came out, which meant I got to take advantage of a good rebate and sale price. But that's not why I bought it. I bought it (in May 06) 1- on the recommendation of a salesman... Read full review »

Pros Ease of use Stylish appearance, ergonomic layout.

Cons No external mic. socket or hotshoe.

Recommended it? Yes

I have owned and used Canon Professional EOS still cameras for years, and found their qualities to surpass the competition by a comfortable margin. When choosing a camcorder, I had only domestic use in mind, and had to throw away preconcieved ideas about what features would be required. In my final... Read full review »

Pros 1. easy to use. 2. good video images.

Cons 1. video usually non-transferable. 2.data loss.

Recommended it? No

It's pretty simple to use which is great and WHEN it works I like the quality of video.

Canon blames software, software blames hardware, etc. etc. In the... Read full review »

Pros Very small size.

Cons Unstable media loses data

Recommended it? No

During the three months that I have owned the unit, I have encountered two hardware errors causing lost data.

I would avoid Canon DVD Camera's

bysjyjoe1 Nov 17, 2007

1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Comment

Pros Good zoom. audio and video quality.

Cons Really NOT a reliable way to capture your once n a lifetime family moments.

Recommended it? No

3 of 6 Memorex disks could not finalize.. the problem is that if you record the disk and don't leave 10% unused the disk can only be played in the camera! This is a serious bug, given that you have only 30 minutes of record time.. Really a lousy piece of equipment!
