Inexpensive; easy-to-use joystick control; 35x optical zoom; above-average color reproduction; microphone jack.

Poor low-light performance; bottom-loading tape compartment; not enough stabilization at maximum zoom; no still image capture.

Canon's latest entry-level MiniDV camcorder is a great choice for anyone looking to create video on a shoestring budget.

Good color and picture quality. There's a reason this camera was a Consumer Reports Top Pick. You get a lot of value from it

Due to its light weight it's easy to get shaky, however the image stabilization does and excellent job at reducing shakiness

cheapest digital video camera on newegg, yet the quality is great! it looks better than a $500 dvd camera that i was using prior to purchasing this one ; has features like simple exposure settings (sports, night, portrait, ect), and some other simple...

camera, battery, a/v cable, charger, and thats it... no media, no firewire cables, no bag ; had same model in media productions class, and all the buttons on the screen went out. no idea why, so it was rma'd ; battery only lasts about an hour and 15...

I love everything about this camera except the sound. It fits in the palm or your hand. The screen "toggle" button makes navigation easy. The camera is intuitive. 35x optical zoom works great. The picture is very good

Low price. Very compact. Image quality not bad at all with enough light

THE MOTOR NOISE IS HORRIBLE. It overpowers all other sounds on any kind of a recording other than a loud event. It is REALLY bad. Thankfully, it has an external mic input. So, if you don"t want to hear the camera, and do what to hear whatever you're...

First it Made in Japan ; Second Price ; Third Canon is the best

Good Bless NewEgg

good pop for the pennies. Good on regular tv's

Just be warned that on the newer hdtv's you will be fairly dismayed by the output of this camera. I had it for a month and had to return it

Fast Shipping

Takes great video outside. Lots of options (16:9 and 4:3). Some transitions built in. Video stabilization. For the price a good camcorder

Indoor video is a bit noisy. Firewire only no usb2.0. Also no Firewire cable included but I think that is common. The indoor video quality is the only reason I didn't give it a 5
