User Reviews for Canon ZR80 Digital Camcorder

  • Reviewed by: Edex

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quality is superb with adequate lighting. Easy to use.

    Weaknesses: Indoor capturing is not good.

    Overall Evaluation: Video quality is severely compromised with indoors. Even with sufficient lighting, the picture comes out grainy.Outdoor capturing is not a problem. The colors are vivid and well defined.16x9 capturing is certainly a big plus. It looks great on a widescreen TV.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Easy to use, with Chinese Menu, Solid build

    Weaknesses: Not good for night shot

    Overall Evaluation: ZR80 is an entry-level digital camcorder. It worths every penny I paid. I used it all the time during our trip to Hawaii and we loved the video. The battery life is very good The LCD screen is bright enough to be comfortably visible under the bright sun of Hawaii. I connected it to my PC (windows XP) with firewire cable and it is a breeze for the PC to recognize it. Take home message: If you just do casual outdoor shot during day, this is a good choice.
