Product Description

 
Along with the 2.2 Megapixel CCDs, Canon is strongly pushing the still features of the new camcorders. Particularly emphasized are Canon's set of photo features which they label DV Photo Plus. This package integrates Canon's optics, large pixel count CCD, DIGIC DV Processor, and Print and Share feature. Both camcorders come with a built-in flash, a continuous shooting mode, selectable focus points, auto exposure bracketing, and a photo review feature.

A lot of power for a small package

Date of Review:  May 20, 2006
The Bottom Line: The fit of form and function is awesome and the ability to have it in your hand all day is priceless.
Review: I have been looking at the different mini DV cameras for about a year. I was getting tired of lugging around my Sony Handicam. My friend had the Cannon ZR-400 and allowed me to use it over a weekend. I found it to produce a very good picture in a...

Great, feature packed camcorder

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: A good combination of features, image quality and price.
