Good for $

Strengths: Small & compact inexpensive

Weakness: less construction quailty than other camcorders I have owned-- no real night mode

This one the best deals on a camcorder for the money. The construction quality is less sturdy than the other camcorders I have owned, buy it is smaller. There is no real night mode, just a illumination enhancer.

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.4" LCD - CCD

Strengths: Well the video is alright it zooms faily well. and its point/shoot.

Weakness: the video/audio play back is terrible. Maybe it is my machine or something but the audio cant seem to keep up with the video it began skipping after i played back the scenes a few times, and wont stop

I would like any feed back if at all any. i want to keep this machine but if the audio can not keep up then i will be highly disappointed. Let me know. KSKS

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.4" LCD - CCD

Strengths: Low Price

Weakness: Noise

when I was watching what I had recorded I noticed a "white noise" in the background, even when people were talking. The motor/fan on this camera is so loud that it really distorts and videos you take.

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.4" LCD - CCD

Strengths: Point and shoot. Easy to use. Compact design.

Weakness: A little bit noisy.

First of all, the humming noise issue does exist. Actually I knew this before I ordered this camcorder. Since d@ll had a promotion price and I was going to buy a camcorder very soon, I decided to take a chance. I took some video in my bedroom. It was very quiet at that time. When I played the video, I could really hear the background noise. I did the same thing with my old SAMSUNG MiniDV. That...

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.4" LCD - CCD

Strengths: It works and it's cheap ( I got from Bestbuy for $289). Easy mode is easy and the camera does have Manual Settings. No Still Mode.

Weakness: Low light ability is non existent of course. No Microphone input. Does not come with Firewire cable(but this seems normal). Heavy Back Lighting causes artifacts.

This is my first camera (still or video) ever. So I went with this entry level camera after reading many reviews, going to stores playing with displays, and price shopping; I'm satisfied. I've spent this first week just playing and testing what the camera can do. The night mode is useless, unless you want to capture grainy, blurry images; however, you can manually set the cameras shutter speed to...

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.4" LCD - CCD

Strengths: "Easy" mode. Lightweight, relatively inexpensive, nice digital effects, and decent video quality. Well-written manual.

Weakness: Night mode is useless. Must read manual carefully, as menu controls and advanced features are not intuitive.

Small, and able to point and shoot when on "Easy" mode. Was able to teach my wife in 1 minute how to use it in Easy mode. In Program mode, can create multi-frame shots, rotating cube, mirror effects and various fade effects. Unfortunately I will not be able to make any use of night mode feature. It records only a black screen when there's no light. With small amount of light, it records a blurry,...

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.4" LCD - CCD

Strengths: Not Known to me at this time

Weakness: Digital Noise

I really thought I was getting a good deal. Never thought anyone could manufacture a camera like this. It is horrible. The digital noise, very bad picture. You wouldn't ever know that it is 525 lines of resolution. My Sony Hi 8 is 20 times better than this crap. I am taking this Canon ZR100 back and it might cost me, Very bad camera.

Canon Camcorder - Exp

Strengths: The camcorder is really handy. Has an affordable price. Light in Weight.

Weakness: Had there been a provision to write data into CD it would have been great.

Overall it has been a good experience using it till date. Good for people who want it for personal use and also simple and easy to understand features. If asked i would always recommend to buy this if you want to pay less and get the best output.

This is a GREAT camcorder!

Strengths: Compact, easy to operate on the fly, high quality image and good sound.

Weakness: No jack for an external mike which is a problem if you make videos for publication and want your sound, not background sound.

I cannot believe all the negative reviews. I love this camera. I have had it four four years, carried it all over Paris in the inside pocket of my jeans jacket and was super easy to pop it out, shoot, and stick it back. The image quality is great, just the normal "confusion" when shooting in uneven light like near a window or bright sun and shadow. Have recorded my granddaughter's growing up for...

works great until it breaks

Strengths: Easy to use, good picture

Weakness: Cost to repair $157 minimum

I loved this camera until it broke. It is only 14-16 months old, of course out of manufacturer warranty, and will cost $157 to send it in to a cerified Canon dealer to repair before they even look at it. I was using in the middle of using it and all of a sudden it rejected the tape. I was happy I brought a new tape and inserted it, thinking that was the problem. Nope. It wouldn't accept that tape...

Quick Review Camcorders : Canon ZR100

Canon introduced the 2005 ZR series with the ZR100, a camcorder trying to come out of the shadow cast by the bleak performance of its ancestor, the ZR80. Unfortunately, it has inherited many of last year’s features, the most significant of which is the 1/6” CCD with 340K effective pixels. This camcorder aims to be a viable and affordable option to novice users, with ease of use coming first,...

Canon ZR100 Camcorder Review

The Canon ZR100 is Canon’s 2005 entry level camcorder, and with the exception of a few cosmetic changes and one or two internal updates, it is very similar to last year’s ZR80. The ZR100 was announced in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, with little pomp or ceremony. Last year’s dismal performance by the ZR80 has this publication and many users wondering if the ZR100 would be worth...
