Rating: Summary: Great Camcorder Review: The images from the Canon ZR30MC camcorder are terrific. I cannot imagine another video camera any better. This camera's design and quality is excellent, well thought out, and it is incredibly easy to use.I love the versatility of this camcorder, you can switch from taking video to stills with just a click of a button. I have used an analog Canon Hi8 camcorder in the past, and the ZR30MC picture quality and sound blows it away. I am completely happy with this purchase, and would recommend the ZR30MC to anyone. For the money, this is the best video camera on the market.
Rating: Summary: Digital zooms are a waste of advertisment Review: This small compact DV camcorder is worth every dollar, but not worth every penny. It has great handling, a slick look, with an awesome menu system. It has various digital effects, including chroma key, which I thought was very cool. It's very light, it only weights about a pound, unless you use a bigger battery, or light. Which I found to be very useful as well. This camcorder has many accessories to buy, like 2 different lights, a shot gun mic which can be mounted on the accesory shoe, which the ZR10-25 don't have. You can also buy 3 different sized extra batteries with extra power. Also this camcorder has extended recording which can make a 60 minute tape last over 2 and a half hours. All that is cool, but what I did dislike about this camcorder is it's digital zoom past 40, it just plain s u x. I know the optical zoom is what really matters. But at least let me be able to see something with the digital zoom besides blur.
