Canon Elura 65 problem 2008-11-12
I have enjoyed the camera for nearly 4 years. Beautful video, nice size, (not too small) and great lens quality like the previous Canon's I have owned. Last year the hatch quit opening. I don't mean the external cover, I mean the internal one where the DV tape is held. No reponse whatsoever, it doesn't even sound like its trying to open. It is out of warranty and I imagine is going to be extremely expensive to fix. Does anyone know of this problem? or a simple fix, Can I download a firmware update via usb that will help. I have had to go back to my old Canon 970 8mm for now and the Elura 65 sits on a shelf...
bad zoom 2008-03-27
Got one for christmas when my daughter was born three years ago. The zoom went to maximum by itself all of the time. Sent it back and had it replaced. I used it for three years with no problem. Now the replacement does the same thing, and you can't stop it. Even on play back it zooms in. Unless you hold the zoom out all of the time it is worthless.
Defective Design - Avoid this camera 2008-03-04
Generally a good camera, but a few flaws. Low-light recording is grainy and has poor color. There does not appear to be a way (or an easy way) to put the day's date on the video (which is very useful for home videos).

But more importantly, the camera failed me in the two ways noted by many other owners. First, the camera would start zooming in on its own. I would have to hold the zoom button to stop it from doing so. Really annoying. Sometimes it wouldn't zoom in and would be "stuck" at full zoom or would zoom out VERY slowly. This makes the camera unusable.

More recently, the camera said "Remove tape" and now is unable to load any tapes. I will have to purchase a replacement. No point in repair because I cannot trust the reliability of what I'll get back from Canon.

This camera design is unreliable, defective (because so many people are reporting the exact same problem), and really disappointing. I am a long-time fan of Canon and this is the first time I have been utterly disappointed with one of their products.
Zoom feature developed a mind of it's own. $300 dollar out of warranty repair bill 2007-12-05
The zoom feature developed a mind of it's own. Camera started zooming in to the maximum and when you zoomed back out and let go of the control it zoomed in again. I paid $300 to have it repaired because I purchased extra batteries and the video light/flash too. I wanted to keep and use the accessory items instead of just upgrading to a newer and better camera. I should have saved the money and just bought another darn camera!
Elura 65 not dependable 2006-07-04
I purchased my Elura 65 new, before there were many reviews and like many others have had repeat problems with the "remove the cassette" message. I've had to mail it back to Canon twice and they replaced the drum assembly each time. Now it's died again, with a video tape inside, and Canon wants another $145.00 to get it out. Why would I pour good money after bad? I'll have to write off the tape and just purchase a new a camera, but definitely not a Canon.

When it worked, the camera worked great out of doors (as long as I didn't get the moisture error) and ok indoors.
