Reviews on Canon ZR850 Digital Camcorder - 2.7" LCD - CCD
Awesome Camera! Great for Home Use
Strengths: Easy to use interface, very light weight, bright screen.
Weakness: Light isn't too bright, a little confusing when importing into windows, P and Easy still confusing.
This is a pretty good camcorder! It definitely replaces my 8mm one. The video quality is great and is has a stereo mic to record left and right. The pull-out screen is very bright and useful for vlogging. The buttons on the pull-out screen are kinda confusing to understand. You push it one way and it does one thing, you push it another way and you shut the screen off! Also, there's a P-Easy...
Canon ZR850
Strengths: Easy to use. Great price. Great image quality even in low light. Overall impressed with the camera.
Weakness: The only thing that would have made it more convenient is if the light was a manual switch instead of the menu option.
Overall very happy with the camera. Considering such a low price, the image quality is very good and the camera is easy to use. Was up and running in no time. It is small and easy to maneuver with. It is also very light weight. I have read other reviews saying it didn't perform as well in low lighting but I find it is just fine. Then again, I am comparing it to my other camcorder (sony DCR-IP5)...
cindy
Strengths: good camcorder, good price and light wight.
Weakness: small battery, no analog coverter
I like Canon products. I research different brand and many type of camcoders. I choose Mini Canon ZR850, because it is smaller,only 13oz and feel like it worth over $300. It is very easy to operate,you don't need to be profesional. but, battery is to small and no analog coverter. so, I need to spend another $99 to buy extra battery, charger, carrying case and tripod.
Canon ZR850-User Friendly Palm-Size Camcorder
Strengths: Wide screen mode, built-in lens cap, easy menu with a joystick, built-in light, 1.07MP video quality, captures 1,152x864 JPEG images.
Weakness: Still poor low light performance (more improved than the previous years' ZR models,though), no analog in, no accessory shoe or microphone input.
ZR850 gives the best video quality among camcorders in this price range. The camera's 1.07MP CCD sensor makes a noticeable difference in comparison to 680k cameras. The easy control with a joystick makes this camera user friendly. ZR850 gives a choice of 16:9 and 4:3 recording and captures JPEG images at pixel resolution up to 1,152x864. ZR850 lacks an analog-to-digital converter, which may be an...
worth the money
Strengths: the price is not bad with coupon , review rebate and fatcash
Weakness: NA
Nowdays, the price of electrics decreases a lot.......so...do not buy something very expensive. but something worth the money. ZR850 is one. works great...images not bad. Easy to use and prefect for family use. Battery is indeed too small.
Good enough for me so far
Strengths: Wide Screen/wireless control/manual lens cover
Weakness: Joystick/illumination light/PAL-NTSC non-compatible/No firewire cable
I bought this camcorder to welcome my son, who is hopefully to be born in a couple of days. I tried it for two weeks. It works fine so far. 1. The color of video on the LCD monitor is natural. 2. I have not noticed the motor noise so far. 3. The wide screen feature is a good match for my computer's wide screen display. I don't know whether it will work with my future widescreen TV yet:) 4. I am...
Canon ZR850
Strengths: Affordable. A good starter camera. Nice added features (SD card capabilities). Good Zoom (35X). Fairly easy to use
Weakness: The camera should really come with a DV (firewire) cable. Video transfer quality wasn't superb (but it wasn't bad either). Needs an included program included for digital video capturing.
This is a good starter camera. It was affordable and gives you a good value. I was a little disappointed with the quality of the video captured digitally. This could however be a result of having a little older computer (5 years old). I also can't believe that it doesn't come with a firewire. It isn't as easy to use as maybe some other models, but it is easy to use. The LCD isn't amazing, but it...
Works great so far
Strengths: Ease of use. Compact. Comfortable fit.
Weakness: Does not come with MiniDV tapes or Firewire cable.
This is my first camcorder. I did some searching and wanted something under five hundred dollars. I got this one for about two hundred fifty. I've had it for about 2 weeks. I bought a Kingston 2GB Elite Pro Secure Digital Card to go with this and it's working well. I shot a 9 minute video onto the card and it recorded it in AVI format instantaneously from what I could see. You use the USB cable...
Audio problems overwhelm strengths
Strengths: Good small size, good price, good image quality
Weakness: Very loud motor sound overwhlems every audio recording, no input for external mic
I bought this camera because I trust Canon's still-photography cameras, and because this model was endorsed by CNET. What I found upon my first use of it, however, was that the motor was shockingly loud. Not only is it annoying to hear while recording, but it ruins the movies themselves, drowning out all but the loudest sounds, and destroying any chance for ambient sounds. This wouldn't be a...
Canon ZR850

Canon zr850
Strengths: size, optical quality, features, price
Weakness: No external mic, included software is garbage
An incredible dvcam for the price. Slight zoom noise, but image quality for this price is amazing. Even low light is very acceptable, even though the experts pan the camera. Stills are good enough if you can't carry another still cam.
