Canon ZR900 Review and Prices

 

Despite the trend towards tapeless DV camcorders, Canon has released three new MiniDV models for 2008, including the entry level ZR900. It's hard to fault the Canon ZR900 when it comes to price: this MiniDV camcorder offers one of the least expensive...

Inexpensive, advanced 41x zoom, easy to use, port for external microphone or headphones

Poor low light performance, no SD card slot, no accessory shoe

Great Camera for it's size and price....

 

Small size makes a tripod a useful thing to have. This camera is a step down from the one I had, but the video quality is wonderful and the sound is actually better than the other camera I had. Though the other camera cost much more. Camera works great...

Great video quality, terrific sound quality.

None so far....

Basic Inexpensive

 

Bought mine someplace else but wanted to let people know what they won't get if they look at the pictures and see a remote.

Its inexpensive which is the main reason why I got one. I also needed a Mic In jack which it has an few others still have.

The accessories in the pictures are for the ZR930 not the ZR900. But I didn't need them anyways.

Video quality is pretty good although not the best (For something less than 200$ what do you expect? HD?). The external mic jack is a big plus. It's very light and fits right into my hands. Mini DV allows me to get uncompressed video out of my tape....
