Reviews on Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: easy to use, fits nicely in the hand, great zoom, price
Weakness: low light recording
I shopped around for quite a while before deciding on this camcorder. The Canon name definitely goes a long way, as they were highly recommended in terms of quality. I didn't think the low light recording would be as bad as the reviews I read made it out to be, but it is. This is the only downside I have found, however. It's a very good point and shoot, and also has many features I will probably...
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: Easy to use. Uses non-proprietary flash memory (Secure Digital) for still pictures. Decent price for the high optical zoom (x20) and other bells & whistles
Weakness: Grainy picture in low light and indoor situations. Manual is not clearly written and it covers three models (ZR80/85/90). Doesn't come with mini Firewire (IE1394) cable.
The price was right compare to others with less zoom. Powerful lense and indoor shots are awesome under low light conditions. Easy to use and buttons are not hard to reach when u need to get to them. The remote is sweet when you want to include yourself or play the tape back without monkeying around the buttons on camcorder.GOOD JOB Canon.
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: High quality vedio and still picture captured. Low weight. Extremely user-friendly. LCD big enough.
Weakness: It would be better if a DV cable and a DV cassette is included.
Among all similar products with 2.5" LCD and 20x optical zoom, this Canon ZR-85 seems the best and cheapest I've ever seen. Being able to capture still picture on memory card is definetely a big plus. I have been using it for 2 months and still there are lots more features I have not tried. I think it would be better if it came with a DV cable and a DV cassette, thus I could have been able to...
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: light weight and easy to use . Take real good movies and pretty good still pictures.
Weakness: The battery with the Camcorder won't last long. You need to get a better battery such as BP522.
I think, overall, this is a pretty good Digital Camcorder. Made in Japan, Beautiful silver outlook and good quality. Its price is relatively inexpensive, however, the price has dropped from more than $400 to less than $300 within 4 months.
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: price,easy to use, picture quality,many features
Weakness: night time filming,"photo" mode useless
I bought this after reviewing all the choices in entry level mini DV camcorder.For only $360 you get an unbeatable package.Nicely designed,small,with great Canon optics this camera is a dream come true for someone entering digital video category on limited budget.Same class Sony,Panasonic,or JVC models are more expensive and don't even come close in quality and features.I highly recommend this...

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: compact size, price, easy operation
Weakness: no firewire cable included (don't be fooled by the USB link - it's for photo pics only!), poor software included with the bundle.
I took the time to get familiar with the camera before I would speak up about it. I am very satisfied with the performance (for the price). Yes, more MPs would good, but more dollars in my pocket would be good too. The "low cost" feature leads to the frequent "low light noise" complaint -- after all if it was sophisticated, it would be overpriced! Keep in mind that it's normal for digital...
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: It's quite compact, not as bulky as on the picture. Comparing with ZR80, ZR85 has USB to transfer the video into computer easily and it can take very good still snaps as well.
Weakness: The front is a little bit heavier than the rear part, so when shooting, I'll have to adjust the holding a little bit, but the difference is not too big.
Before I made this purchase, I've done a lot comparison between this one and the Sony HC30. This one has much bigger zoom 20x200 but sony has only 10x120, and the price for ZR85 is more affordable. I do recommend this one.
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: One tough camera. Good picture quality. Intuitive menus and short learning curve. Wireless remote is a great bonus and comes "in the box". Great price for an entery level camcorder.
Weakness: OEM Battery is weak. I highly recommend a generic Canon BP-535 battery from the PriceGrabber site for under $30. Your camcorder will run forever.
I was looking to upgrade from a Sharp analog camcorder purchased 7 years ago. Boy have camcorders come along way! I was very impressed with all this, fit in your hand, camcorder can do for under $400.00. The picture quality is above average but what really impressed me was the camera's toughness. I was at family reunion last weekend and the camera took a direct hit with a water balloon. The...
Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: Great Optical Lens, durable design and high quality manufacture
Weakness: Low light performance is a little worse but I can live with it.
This is the first camcorder I own. I like it very much. I did a lot of research on camcorders and got two options: Canon ZR85 and JVC GR-D33US. These are entry-level camcorders and exactly fit in my budget. Reviews said JVC GR-D33US performs very well in low light environment while Canon does poor. Anyway, I got the Canon one from Thanksgiving sale and found its low light performance is not as...

TopQuick Review Camcorders : Canon ZR85
The Canon ZR85 has a 1/6th-inch 680K CCD that performs relatively under normal lighting conditions, but shows a decrease in quality under lower light due to the smaller size of the camcorder and, thus, the CCD. The ZR85 has a 2.5-inch LCD with a .33 inch color viewfinder, along with digital image stabilization for adverse recording conditions. Most of the manual controls, along with playback and...
TopCanon ZR85 First Impressions Camcorder Review
On display at the 2004 Consumer Electronics Show was the Canon ZR85, which is one step up from the ZR85. The most significant upgrade in middle camcorder in the ZR product line is the inclusion of an SD card for high resolution stills. The ZR85 is a point and shoot MiniDV camcorder with still capabilities that benefits from Canon's 65 years of lens crafting excellence. Similar to the ZR80, the...

Canon Digital Camcorder - 2.5" LCD - CCD
Strengths: Price,Easy to use,Picture Quality,Lots of good features,Remote controled,C/F card
Weakness: No DV cable for DV Messenger(Required)
I researched a lot of Mini Dv camcorders, and came up with this one. A lot of Bang for the Buck. I own one of the orginal Full VHS camcorders, and 1 pound is a whole lot better than 10 pounds. They have came a long way on size and picture quality. The remote control comes in nice when playing back on TV with included RCA cable. I am happy with my purchase, with only one draw back, no DV cable,...
