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...

A powerful package

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great small camcorder and a wonderful way to get into digital video.
Review: I am by no means a video expert. I've done well over 4,000 shots on various digital still cameras.

Previously, I owned a full-size VHS camcorder for a couple of months that I had purchased off of eBay, but due to the size of the unit and...

Great, feature packed camcorder

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2004
The Bottom Line: A good combination of features, image quality and price.
Review: Received this recently at a sub $700 price. This is my second DV camcorder, replacing a higher-end JVC model. I shot probably a hundred hours of video on the JVC and learned that I didn't use most of the features I thought were important when I...

Excellent Camcorder for the price I got!!!

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great Camera for under 600.00..Lots of features that you probably will actually use..True Widescreen shooting..Good Quality Stills..SMALL, meaning you will take it with you and use it
Review: I did 2 weeks worth of research on digital camcorders before purchasing the optura 400..I wanted a camcorder to shoot personal video and maybe some documentary type shooting..i chose this over the 500 model because the 500 seemed too expensive for...

Disappointing low-light sensitivity

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 2006
Review: I bought a canon digital videocam because I have owned the canon A70 digicam, and wanted to have video memories of my newborn. But when it comes to video, optura 400 has the worst low-light footages I have ever seen (even since the flour-sensor...
