User Reviews for Canon ZR90 MiniDV Digital Camcorder

Reviewed by: bluegrasspollock

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Great video & still shots.

Weaknesses: Controls are a little misleading and a little difficult for my large fingers.

Overall Evaluation: After looking at several different camcorders from various manufactures, I settled for the Canon ZR-90. I'm so glad I did. After reading all I could about a lot of different makes and listening to a lot of sales reps(most of which knew very little and seemed to want to steer you to the higher priced models) this one was for us. The wife just loves it for all those special grand baby moments.Buttons are a little small for my large paws, but for the quality and value for the money spent I rate it 10 out of 10.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Straight forward controls, seem well placed. Instructions, optical zoom are good. In limited light seems to give good pictures,haven't tried total darkness,color comes from light. Fits in belt Pac.

Weaknesses: Would like a little more discussion as to the purpose or use of some functions. Would like to see a rotating view finder like my Nikon, makes for easier angles for pic taking.

Overall Evaluation: I have yet to work with all the functions, but those I have work well. Butterfly, Jason, got the camera out quickly. The wrong 1394 cable was sent. A phone call got the new one out while I was sending the incorrect one back. Appreciate the trust. With the many features I look forward to much editing and enhancing of movies. I like to dress up my movies to make them more interesting. I think this Canon ZR 90 digital camcorder will keep me busy for many years to come.
