- Piece of Junk
I purchased a similar model 7 years ago that worked fine, but humidity on a beach trip killed it. I finally purchased another at a much cheaper price in December 07 and have sent it in once to be fixed for an eject problem with the tapes which cost me $100, and now am having issues with the same thing. Spend the extra bucks on something better. This is a waste of money. Apparently EXTREMELY fragile, in that it belongs in it's box unopened and unused.

- not bad, but I wanted something else
Video compression is such that the picture is somewhat grainy and the external light is pretty weak. One thing that may not affect many users, but was a big deal to me was the fact that it cannot record video and audio at the same time through the input jacks. The manual says that using the analog in jacks, only audio can be recorded, but full a/v can be played out. The way to record video is using the dv jack to record.

- Canon zr850 a bargain
Huge miniDV bang for the buck. Very little compression using tape, very good image & optical quality for the size. Slight zoom noise. Very good low-light performance even though experts pan this cam. Stills are good enough if you can't carry another still cam. Two beefs: no external mic (biggy) and the included software is not worth the CD it's burned on. Don't bother installing this garbage. Find WinDV for 1394 video downloads - it's a great free app, so donate a buck to the author.

- Very good overall
Except for zoom out (you won't be able to get a wide angle view if you're in a small closed space) and think about getting a second battery (if you rewind the tape the juice is almost gone)
Apart from those problems I am very satisfied.
