Rating: Summary: ZR-10 tape stuck Review: Me to my tape is stuck in the camera. Canon, i will nerver buy your product anymore. The end.
Rating: Summary: Has started to eat tapes ... Review: Mine too has started to eat tapes. I am not sure what to do with it now. Probably not cost effective to have it repaired and I dont want to risk losing video. Until it started eating tapes, I loved it. As I see others having this problem ... I can't recommend it.
Rating: Summary: VERY ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED Review: Mine was great for a while, but now it eats tape too. It's COMPLETELY useless. Canon knows there is a design flaw, and they should fix them for free or provide compensation to users.
Rating: Summary: Just wait yours will eat tapes too Review: My ZR10 also eats tapes now, after only shooting two hour-long tapes. It is out of warranty as I found I'm not really a video sort of guy and didn't use it all that much. But it's clean as a whistle and hardly used, and now I can't play back the tapes I did make so I have an $800 paperweight.I just spoke to Canon and they still refuse to take responsibility even though a lot of others, as you can see, had the same problem. It's not worth $200 to fix it since I'll probably never use it but I don't know how I'll watch those tapes. My recommendation: don't buy it.

Rating: Summary: Eats tapes! Review: Nice camera with great features, but eats tapes frequently. Has been back for factory repair twice. Not recommended.
Rating: Summary: Disappointed Review: Thank goodness I found this problem before the baby was born and after copying tape data to my Mac.
Currently a tape is stuck in my ZR10, a.k.a., paper weight. I spent several HRS copying important wedding videos before encountering this problem. After reading several other message boards and Cannon's FAQ's this is a widely known and accepted problem with the ZR10. I just hope the stars align and I can recover my current tape. After reading other reviews, it does not sound promising.
Luckily I only paid $100 for my used ZR10, so I definitely won't get it fixed and definitely will not buy another ZR10. The sick thing about this problem is that it sounds like Canon knows about this problem, but are unwilling to offer to fix it. That is a good way to loose this customer.
Rating: Summary: great digital camcorder Review: The camera is an all around great camera: compact, light weight,versitle-able to take video and able to talk still shots. have use the camera with excellent results for backpacking, a wedding, bicycling, home movies, photographing a night time live concert,photographing nature, scenery and people. Operating the camera is not complex i.e., you don't need to be an electronic engineer or video specialist. It is easy to physically operate the camera i.e., turn it on and off, switch from program or mode to program or mode. The camera is able to film in a broad range i.e., light to dark, slow to fast wide andle to max telephoto with fading, wiping,sepia, mosiac and paint features to create professional style videos. I am pleased with all these features as the have met my expectations and exceeded them. This makes it possible to take the camera with me wherever I go and thus be able to capture any moment or moments at any time. This is why I wanted a digital video camera.
Rating: Summary: I can't believe they call this a digital camcorder Review: The size is perfect. It's easy to use, once you figure it out. Also the special effects are cool. But when it comes to video quality--what a disappointment and the still pictures are terrible as well. Who wants a camcorder that looks good but doesn't perform well? I returned it not even a week after I bought it. If you want good video quality don't buy this camera.
Rating: Summary: This camera is very very nice Review: This camera is very nice. We use it all the time! Its small and easy to use and the picture is awesome. The only downside to it is that you have to buy another accessory to get the stills off of the camera and on to your computer. Other than that...its great!
