Problems with Elura 70

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2007
Review: Purchased Elura 70 and after using a very few times, got message to "remove cassette". I had to send back to Canon repair center and pay $165.00 even though it was still under warranty. I had to repeat this 4 x over the next year, paying s&h and...

A birthday present, my wife (and I) love

Date of Review:  Feb 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you need a camera, and don't want to spend more than 700 bucks, this is your baby
Review: With our first child on the way, we wanted some way to remember her entire childhood.

After a lot of searching (price, product, CCD size etc) I finally settled on the Canon Elura 70.

There are many reasons why I bought this,...

Good & Reliable DV Camcorder

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a highly portable, solid and reliable DV camcorder with excellent connectivity features, this is your best choice for the price.
Review: A few months ago I decided to retire my old trusty first generation DV Camcorder, the Canon Optura. I did some research and looked at Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic and Canon. I chose the Elura series and bought the 70 in the end.

I am very...

Problems with the Elura 70 - updated from "I love my Canon Elura 70..."

Date of Review:  Sep 15, 2004
The Bottom Line: I used to love this camera. Now, it's dead. It was useful, but it's not worth the price. No way.
Review: Updated Dec. 27, 2005:


On December 21, 2005 - my Elura 70 stopped accepting MiniDV tapes!!!

It won't load them!

And what makes this so bad is that I just sent it back to the Factory Repair Center for a similar...

An excellent camcorder in its price range

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Over all an excellent camcorder in its class with great video quality, zoom, and stabilization. Low light recording is not bad at all in this price range.
Review: Over all an excellent camcorder in its price range. I did see a lot of comments complaining its low light performance, but I myself found it is actually pretty good. I went to Las Vegas just recently, and shoot quite some video at night, including...

Camera failed after shooting only 15 tapes

Date of Review:  Jul 5, 2007
Review: This was a great camera, until it broke. I got the camera in December of 2004. I used it sparsely in the first six months. After recording less than 10 DV tapes, the camera started to reject tapes when inserted. I would insert a new cassette, push...

Elura 60 and 70 Review, comparison, and Comments

Date of Review:  Jun 16, 2004
The Bottom Line: The Elura 70 is an excellent camera, feature rich and vivid color reproduction. Watch out, everyone will ask you to film his or her parties.
Review: Before I get into the main review let me briefly explain how and why I ended-up with these two video cameras.

My wife and I decided that we wanted to move our existing family videos onto DVD. Since all of our old videos were on mini VHS...

Tape Jams and Bad Customer Support

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this camcorder or any consumer Canon camera - go with Panasonic, which is known for better quality even with their lower-end models.
Review: This camcorder will be an excellent piece of equipment for the first few months. It is ideal for the point-and-shoot crowd who want a few manual adjustments for the fun of it. However, if you want it to work for more than several months, you might...

Great camcorder for the price

Date of Review:  Oct 29, 2004
The Bottom Line: Excellent quality for the price
Review: I must say that I am very happy with my latest purchase. I have tirelessly researched camcorders in this price range ($400-$600) and feel I made a wise choice. I got a chance to try the JVC GRD72US. Although this camera had a great zoom, the indoor...

Unreliable

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2004
Review: I bought this camera 5 months ago because I have a wide screen HDTV and wanted wide screen videos. I can't really comment too much on the quality of the video because the camera keeps breaking. It broke the first time after the first tape. When I...
