Consumer: Digital Video Camera Buyers

The purpose of the Canon ZR850 Digital Camcorder is to allow even new camcorder operators to take good digital video.

Pros: Having a digital video camera ready to record all of the action is priceless. But you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg to get a really great digital video camera. All of the Canon Mini DV digital camcorders provide a smooth blend of performance and ease of use. You will enjoy a great many advanced, yet easy-to-use features in a compact and lightweight video camcorder and be taking professional looking video in a matter of minutes. You will be able to record all of your fun and precious memories with the Canon ZR850 Digital Camcorder

According to the website, “The ZR850 gives you clear, vibrant and brilliant video and digital photographs with a 1.07 Megapixel CCD image sensor. 35x Optical and 1000x Digital Zoom lets you get closer to the action for unsurpassed optical performance. The ZR850’s image stabilizer lets you shoot rock-steady video even at maximum telephoto for professional-looking video.”

Cons: Low light/indoor could be better. Easy mode is very grainy indoors unless you have plenty of lights on. Night mode is a little better but still grainy. The entire NewEgg.com website suffers from a serious case of screen stretch and is difficult to navigate.

Guarantee: There is no written guarantee of satisfaction listed on the website. There is, however, a return policy that reads in part, “All returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number, which can be obtained by contacting our Customer Service department or clicking the “My Account” button in the top-right hand corner of our web page.”

Value for money: The Canon ZR850 Digital Camcorder is a very good value and the ease of operation will be attractive to inexperienced digital video camera buyers.
