Excellent Basic Hi8 Camcorder

 

It's small, easy to use, has more features than you're ever likely to use, and to my eye the video image on our 32 inch Toshiba TV is as good as our Sony Digital 8 camcorder (and will record for twice as long ------120 minutes vs. 60 minutes on a...

Not Too Shabby

 

This camcorder is a perfect choice if you want decent quality at a low price during this period of rapid emerging digital technology. Rather than spending $1,000 to $2,000 on a digital camcorder that still records on video tape, consider purchasing a...

Good Quality and low price

Hard-to-reach and hard-to-use zoom button

Canon ES8400V Hi8 w/LCD

 

The Canon ES8400V Hi8 w/LCD is a great camera. First and foremost it is a Canon, which means high quality craftsmanship by itself. It has 22X Optical and 800X Digital zoom power which is more than plenty. The picture quality does decrease some slightly...

Great features, easy to use, excellent recorded picture, plenty of zoom power. Good

Night focus could be better, but still good. Initial battery pack could last longer

Better get a sony...

 

I bought this camcorder after doing extensive research on the web. I read the one and only review I could find for this camcorder at the time, and it seemed to boast on it. I had no idea that after the experience I had with it I was going to be trading...

I bought this camcorder after watching a commercial on TV in April 2002. My first experience was a good one. I had a new born baby and shooting indoors at home with the 2.5" LCD was very easy. I also quickly grasped all the features (except the...

Easy access to Buttons, Easy to handle, good sharp picture, feature packed

You Don't Have to Pay Big Money For the Memories!

 

I have finally made the camcorder purchase! I've been waiting years but every time I looked, the prices were in the $1000 range which was much more than I could justify. My mother and dad.....who NEVER buy electronics purchased a video camera for their...

Inexpensive, All the needed features, puts out a pretty good picture

Short battery life, need to buy accessories
