STAY AWAY FROM THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!
| I wanted to make really good movies at a low cost. My first camcorder was a samsung hi8 camcorder but I wanted a DV camcorder for a low price so I purchased the Canon ZR80. I was satisfied at first. I loved the effects and picture quality outdoors. The indoor quality was really bad. The nightshot or lowlight mode makes the picture brighter but more grainier and slow frame rate. After 1/2 a year it had problems connecting to my computer. Canon repaired it. After 1 year and a half, the camcorder died on me. I read other reviews and other people complained of other or similar models in the ZR series dying after the 1 year warranty was up. This was ridiculous. I am never going with Canon again. It died during the summer so I'm getting the Panasonic GS300 for christmas. DON'T BUY A CANON ZR CAMCORDER!!!!!!!!!! |

Crappy Quality Indoors
Some of the reviews here state that this camera produces good quality video is false. I am wondering what they are comparing the quality to. My camera (Canon ZR80) is horrible. When shooting indoors with light coming through a slider door into the living room the image is very grainy. I compared it to one of the old "suit case" analog camera and the analog camera produces I would say 100% better image quality than Canon ZR80.

really nice camera but some flaws
| i have had this camera for about a year and it is good. one of the problems was that when in low light it dosn't deliver really great quality. one time when i was connecting it to my computer it wasn't working so i had to send it back canon and they repaired it. another thing is the battery life. the battery that comes with it lasts a short while. it seems to drain the battery really fast and i am constantly charging it. it's a good camera but next time i would choose another one. |
