 A good product - bang for buck!! November 24, 2008

I didn't spend a lot on this product...good. Pretty much out of the box I started enjoying this product...well not really, I did have to find the firewire cable but hey.
This product is very handy to use, easy to learn and fairly simple to begin with...and hey for not very much cash!
I have to admit...I've been having a lot of fun with this camcorder. I spent about the same money on my phone and that pisses me off...just about on a fortnightly basis. The camcorder...no complaints. Technology that works? I'll try not to get my hopes up too much.

This is a good overall camcorder. Very light and small with an excellent zoom. The video shot in well lit areas, and that shot outside, is excellent quality. Dimmer environments produce more grainy results. I'm sure all camcorders suffer from this problem, however. Expect some noise from the tape drive in very quiet situations, but it is not unreasonable. I would recomend this to a friend.
Excellent Camera at a reasonable price. July 22, 2008

Canon ZR900 MiniDV Camcorder with 41x Optical Zoom
Bought this camcorder as a graduation gift for my 13 year old niece. She already has an iMac and a digital camcorder so this camera fit in perfectly and she is able to take great videos and edit them in iMovie. She loves to make movies with her ZR900 and the the size, features and price is right.
We already have an entire DVD put together of our 4th of July party just two weeks ago.

This camcorder performs well and does everything I was looking for.
Easy to move video to computer.
User friendly menu.
Zoom is steady until it reaches near maximum.
Small in in-obtrusive.
Easy to carry and set up.
Sound quality is very good.
Over all, excellent buy for the money.
I would highly recommend.

Very happy with product--thought there was a catch as I've never ordered online and the fact that it was so cheap! Cheaper than the manufacturer...no catch it was brand new and I have been using it ever since
