Impossibly Low Res...
I hoped it would be enough, but the resolution is simply too low on this video camera. My cheap point-and-shoot camera does a FAR better job of capturing video than this could ever hope to do.
Excellent service
I can't believe how fast it came! It was here within 2 days. Excellent customer service. Excellent price. Product was just as advertised. Would definitely buy from seller again. Very pleased.
Canon ZR900 MiniDV Camcorder
Simple and inexpensive, yet very good quality recordings and with an amazing 37x optical zoom! Lacks remote control, but it sure is inexpensive! I made just a short new video to try it out, but this is not why I bought it. I wanted a camcorder to replace an old one of this format. No, I do not want to create more new videos. I needed a new one like this so I can transfer all my old tapes to get them onto DVD. Tape is so passe! Still I have to deal with all those old ones and my old camcorder died. This one is relatively cheap, supremely easy to use and is making quick work of playing back my tapes so I can transfer the signal to computer via FireWire or to my Humax TiVo with built-in DVD recorder. In other words, I am using this camcorder as a "mule." I think that, with reasonable care, consumers would be pleased with the purchase of this camcorder for regular use.
A good product - bang for buck!!
I didn't spend a lot on this product...good. Pretty much out of the box I started enjoying this product...well not really, I did have to find the firewire cable but hey.
This product is very handy to use, easy to learn and fairly simple to begin with...and hey for not very much cash!
I have to admit...I've been having a lot of fun with this camcorder. I spent about the same money on my phone and that pisses me off...just about on a fortnightly basis. The camcorder...no complaints. Technology that works? I'll try not to get my hopes up too much.
Nice Camcorder
This is a good overall camcorder. Very light and small with an excellent zoom. The video shot in well lit areas, and that shot outside, is excellent quality. Dimmer environments produce more grainy results. I'm sure all camcorders suffer from this problem, however. Expect some noise from the tape drive in very quiet situations, but it is not unreasonable. I would recomend this to a friend.
