Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Received a unit that either had a bad battery or a bad charger.
I received a unit that had a bad battery or a bad charger. I called and asked it I could get a different battery,
but was told I would have to send the unit back. I obtained a RA and sent the unit back UPS (no charge to me)
Expecting to receive a replacement, instead I got a call telling they were sorry but I wouldn't get a replacement
but I would receive my money back. Received my money less the shipping charges that was incurred on my
initial order.I later found that the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love it !!!!
I was looking for an inexpensive mini dv camcorder. I looked and researched a long time before buying the Canon ZR930. I was looking for simple, light weight and a good price. I bought this camcorder a month ago and love it. It is so simple to use and I have had no problems with it or using it. It is very light weight. I really like the built in lens cap. It also has a great built in mic. I use this camcorder a few times a week. I would recommend this camcorder to anyone. I am a novice with a ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A very good entry level device
I bought this specifically so my wife and I could tape horse riding clinics and our practice exercises. Quality zoom was important to us, and the ZR930 has it. Video quality is fine for playback on a home TV, with settings for regular or wide-screen.
Firewire download to a PC with XP works well, but mind you, it happens in real time, so half an hour of video takes half an hour to download. Downloaded files are massive, and our PC's external hard drive is going to get some work. While I chose ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Seemed great until I tried to upload to computer
At first I reviewed this camcorder with 5 stars; however, once I tried to upload to the computer I realized that the firewire port does not work and I have to mail the camcorder back to the manufacturer. This is extremely annoying. It is a good camcorder to use in that it is extremely easy, the viewfinder is very clear and controls instinctive. I have a little trouble with the zoom (getting it to move smoothly), but I think that's because I'm a lefty and you need to use your right hand for it. Other ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very good for the price
This the best video camera I've seen for under $500. Well made and pretty good image quality. You won't want to be shooting for big screen HDTV, but for the web and viewing on the computer this is the best you can get for the money. The plug-in for an external mic is very useful. So useful in fact that I'm still surprised so few cameras offer it. You'll get _much_ better sound quality with a good external mic, so it's a good thing to have. The only reason I didn't give this camera five stars is ... Read More
