Good enough Doesn't work with Mac 10.6
2010-05-05
 |
Great Picture quality. The sound is terrible. Doesn't work with new computers such as Mac 10.6. Works with older computers. Overpriced for what it actually does. Has troubles with capture video. I don't recommend this camera. Terrible shake. There is no stabilizer. You must use a tripod always. Even then there is shaking.
Good to mess around with, bad if you are into film seriously. |

BUY HD OR miniDV IF YOU PLAN ON EDITING YOUR FOOTAGE.... this camera is great (so far) for the price!

As I've only just received the camera today I can't provide a very thorough evaluation of this product. With that in mind, the device DOES make noise while recording (low whirring) and while playing/FF/RR- these sounds are not anything but normal camera noises, esp for one as small as this. It is quieter than my ZR50 is (and was).
GOOD:
I was impressed by the features available and pleased to find manual (if rudimentary) settings.
Easy settings navigation.
Convenient navigation buttons and joystick.
"Fits like a glove," in your hand.
External mic-input (practically nonexistent in most of the consumer/pro-sumer camcorders available).
CHEAP
the kind of cheap that allows me to humor the idea of fixing it's lacking shoe with some duct tape and a complex sculpture of paperclips.
BAD:
nothing yet.
Some things to keep in mind and things you will need to operate this (and any other miniDV camcorder) product to it's fullest capabilities.
To tape, you will need miniDV tapes (Sony DVC-60 PR/5 Premium Minidv Videocassette (5-Pack)) and a fully charged battery (always have a back up battery (CANON BP-2L14 Equivalent High Capacity Li Ion Battery 2-Pack for Elura 50 / MV5 & Many More Camcorders) and tape on hand).
To edit video, you must have a firewire card in your computer as well as having the proper driver(s)installed (2 Port Expresscard Firewire Card). You will also need a firewire cable, computer-to device (Belkin F3N401-06-ICE IEEE 1394 4-Pin/6-Pin 400 Mbps FireWire Cable (6 Feet)), to connect to and send your footage to your computer. Finally, you will need an editing program to manipulate your footage on and a large hard drive to store all of your footage on ((an external drive is usually a good plan if you plan on doing any heavy program editing)). Having a computer with a fast enough processor, memory, video/sound card, and such typically helps as well.
If you're looking for a top of the line pro-sumer camcorder, and you're looking here, you've gotta be kidding... BUT. If you're not looking for something as amazing (and expensive) as the Sony HDV handycam (Sony HDR-FX1000 High Definition MiniDV Handycam Camcorder), or Canon's equivalent XH A1 (Canon XH A1 1.67MP 3CCD High-Definition Camcorder with 20x Optical Zoom)... than the ZR800 is the way to go. You get a mic input, basic manual (and a ton of auto) functions, and you get a reliable format (miniDV) on which to capture yours (or someone else's) memories.
If you have questions or I forgot to mention something, please let me know. Thanks, and enjoy.

Canon ZR800 Mini Video Camcorder
2009-07-12
|
I am VERY pleased with this purchase. The seller gave an accurate description of the camcorder condition. As promised it came with everything as brand new and they threw in a handful of tapes too. I ordered near a weekend and it arrived early the following week. I would highly recommend this seller ---- they do what they say they will and they respond to your communications with them promptly. Highly Recommend.

My first DV camera
2009-05-21
|
Hey, I'm having a lot of fun with my first DV camera.
It's been a while since my "Super 8" movie film camera was pressed into service.
So consider that as a comparison.
I read reviews about the zoom "pop" noise. A nice, smooth,
easy release should solve that. No noticable noise
from motor. Oh, yeah, I bought a refurb. for @ $140
so my cost seems minimal. I've had it a couple of weeks
and no buyer's remorse.
The footage I've shot exceeds what I thought would be the quality of the camera.
I figure there are a lot of good cameras out there.
I read a review that this one may work on Skype.
As with any item, read and re-read the manual and have a good time.
Salutations from my time, "Happy trails to you, until we meet again." |

Great camera for the money
2009-01-24

I have owned my ZR800 for over a year now and still love it. It is probably the best camera you can get for the money. One of the best things about it is having the ability to plug in an exterior mic. Not many consumer cameras have that feature. You can buy some great hand held or lapel mics for under $30. Get one and combine it with the ZR800 and you can do some really good things.
Another nice thing is that it uses tapes, still the best way to go.
If you are looking for a cheap, standard definition camera that you can plug in a mic to and get great audio, the Canon ZR800 is the way to go. |
