Canon MV530i Reviews & Tests

Consumer review (productreview.com.au)

OK

This Camcorder is OK, for the price it is acceptable but as we all know technology is getting better and cheaper by the day. You can get great quality cheap HD camcorders now for a great price. But this little beast has served me well over the years...

Excellent

It is a really good and a hardy camera. I would recommend it to anyone. Only thing is that you need to look after it well by servicing at least once an year and not using the same tape to re record.

I have been using this for nearly 5 years now, and I havent had a single issue still. Reading all other reviews, main problem seems to be the chewing of the tape.I havent had that after so many years, so wonder the problem is to do with the tape...

the picture quality of still pictures taken on the card are not that great

Terrible

Thank god for this site!! I'm actually reviewing the MV430i which I want to replace as it started chewing tapes again (been fixed for this twice under warranty at 12 month intervals). The quote to fix it is 1/2 cost of new camera and I am confident it...

video picture quality (in good light), ease of transfer to pc, came bundled with good editting software, good size/weight for the price, easy controls to use while filming

mechanical quality, whirring on recorded tape from mechanism
