| Product Description |
| Canon's Mini DV megapixel camcorders - the Elura 70, Elura 65 and the Elura 60 - prove once again that high quality digital camcorders can be easy to handle, easy to afford and easy to use. These streamlined lightweight, 1.33 megapixel video cameras are easy enough for any beginner to use anytime, anywhere and for any occasion and simple enough to turn memorable moments into family heirloom video and prints.The Elura 70 model - Canon's top-of-the-line entry - provides many extras that more than offset its difference in price with the Elura 65 and Elura 60 camcorders. Most notably, the Elura 70 camcorder features a powerful 18x optical zoom combined with a 360x digital zoom (compared with the Elura 65 camcorder's 16x optical/320x digital zoom and the Elura 60 camcorder's 14x optical/280x digital zoom). The Elura 70 also comes with an exclusive 0.7x wide attachment lens that expands the camcorder's wide-angle capabilities. As an additional value, the Elura 70 camcorder ships with Canon's new double capacity rechargeable battery (compared with the standard capacity battery included with the Elura 65 and Elura 60 models). |

Great Value
2008-06-15

The camcorder I purchased was factory refurbished, hoping all the issues other people have had with the tape mechanism have been fixed. I purchased it with an extended warranty just in case. For the price, the camcorder is a great buy. I wanted the MiniDV style since we're going on a week long vacation and wanted to be sure we could simply pop in a new tape and keep taping without the need to upload data to a computer first. I also wanted the ability to use the camcorder to pass through the analog signals from our older vhs tapes.
We've had the camcorder for a few weeks and so far, everything seems as good or better than expected. Light and dark image quality is very good, as-is the built-in microphone (this camcorder also has an external microphone jack). Image quality when passing the analog signal through is acceptable, with the only breakdown coming when the vhs image is transitioning from dark to light.
The only problem I had was I received a component kit for the wrong camcorder, so half the parts were missing and I had the instruction manual from a completely different model line (again, factory refurbished and factory sealed - so definitely a Canon issue). ElectronicsClub, my Amazon retailer, quickly took care of the issue. |

Never had problems

| Not sure of all of these problems people are having, but i bought my Elura 70 about 4 years ago from [...] and have recorded about 10 tapes before i lost my charger last year. I have carried this camcorder overseas twice now, and it worked flawlessly on 220 electricy (with converter).. Can't really complain about it except that it cost me around $[...] 4 years ago, wasn't cheap. I just got a new charger and it works fine, without any tape glitches or error messages. Hope to keep it around for another couple of years. |

Not a reliable camcorder
2007-05-06

| Out of the box, the Elura 70 is fabulous. Amazing shots, nice 18x optical zoom, and great image stabilization. But after recording about eight tapes, the camera started to reject tapes when insterted. The error message "Remove the cassette" always appeared and the tape ejected immediately. Now the camera is unusable. Each time I put in a brand new tape the camera will start up, spin some wheels, and then stop the wheels, and eject the tape. I have tried an off-the-shelf mini-DV head cleaner, but that didn't work. Please, beware of this camera. |

BEWARE CANON ELURA
2007-02-04

| I purchased the Canon Elura 70 and within 3-4 uses, the camcorder started giving me the "remove the cassette" error message and would not accept the tape. Still under warranty, I had to pay almost $200.00 to send it to Canon repair center. Over the next 12 months, I had to send it in again and again for the same problem as well as problems with the still photo button not working and the zoom lever not working and the camcorder zooming on it's own. Each time after the initial repair, I had to pay shipping and handling and insurance at a cost to me of approx. $16-$18.00 to send in the camcorder. After sending in the camcorder 5x over a period of a year and multible complaints and threats...Canon sent me a brand new Canon elura 70 and now the "New" camcorder is in the Canon Repair Center for problems with the Zoom "zooming on it's own", and the still picture button not working, after only having the camcorder for only 4 months. I'm afraid to use the camcorder for any video because it will give me an error message like the other one did. I am currently looking for a new camcorder with a name brand that is not "CANON" As for depending on this camcorder to video my children's life events as I had planned on when I bought it originally....well, they are growing up and I am missing out on videotaping any and all of them....since the camcorder is in the shop again! |

Two thumbs down!

I am a huge fan of canon and thought they would be reliable with their camcorders as well. This camera lasted for about 1 year... about 10 tapes. Im having the same problems as other users where the tape got caught. I also have problems where the cam zooms by itself with the zoom button internally stuck.
Will cost me 180 to send in. Abosulutely insaine. Stay away from this one and consider something different than Canon. |
