Canon ZR10

 

The compact, futuristic design and intuitive user interface of the Canon ZR10 easily make it the most polished camera in this roundup. Unfortunately, video quality was spotty in some instances, especially when output to VHS tape. This makes the ZR10...

Canon ZR10 Camcorder Review - Canon MiniDV Camcorders

 

Canon has always had a history of making MiniDV camcorders that don't fit the typical camcorder mold; the ZR10 is no exception from that rule. Its small sleek design and good features make it live up to the claim on the pamphlet, " the="the"...

ZR-10 Nightmare

 

Between my friends and I we bought 4 ZR-10 at the local Best Buy. 2 of us had the consistent problems with the loading mechanism. 50% defect is very high and the factory offers no extended warranty and only offers 90 day.

Price and weight

Poor quality

Good Little Camera!

 

I have used the Canon ZR-10 for about one year. I have filmed used it hiking, at the beach, children's programs, water skiing, and around the house. I have had no difficulties with it. I use it in combination with an Apple Powermac G3 233 mHz and...

Small, Compact, Efficient Design

Port covers could be designed a little heftier

My 14 month old loves this camera

 

The other reviews are, for the most part, spot on with respect to the image quality, which is good, but not great, and the size, which is *SO* handy, but I wanted to mention the great part about this camera - it is well made.

Small, Lightweight, Tough

Picture quality less than great.

Easy to use, many accessories, Light weight, digital zoom, long battery life

Accessories can cost alot, filter size is not common

Too fragile

 

I liked what I got wih this camera. I was quickly making Videos and editing them on the Mac. Everything worked great although I found the instruction manual to be a chore to find anything.

Easy to use

Flimsy

Canon - Where Are You Now?

 

After reading many review on epinions and CNet, I determined this camera was for me. I wanted to import video to my PC, alter the clip and ultimately save to tape ... Digital appeared to be the only route.

Small, Features, Easy to Use

Reliability, Service, Support

First of all this is a review for the ZR20 which is the exact same camcorder but with a removable memory card.

Small, looks good, great LCD, sturdy, controls

ZR10 sold in Europe as MV300

 

I bought the ZR10 in Switzerland, where its name is mv300i (i for the model which has digital input too). It was one day before I left Switzerland to live in South America. Later I found, that the Cam tells me with Alarmsound to eject the cassette,...

The MV300i (ZR10) Works fine with Apples iMovie!

My cam has defects, finally can no more use it. Bad Service from Canon.
