Digital Camera and DVD Camcorder in One2008-05-21
I own this camera/camcorder, and the first thing you notice is that it is absolutely gorgeous. It's color is two-toned and it is a well-made quality product from Canon. It's very small in size and takes the place of both a camera and camcorder, which makes it convenient to travel with.

It uses mini DVD's for videoing and a mini SD card for photos. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to use and easy to switch back and forth between camera and camcorder.

My videos and photos come out crisp, clear and in true-life colors. I can very easily transfer my videos and photos to regular DVD's using my Sony DVD recorder or a computer DVDRW drive.

My only complaint and the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is the battery's charge is not long enough which requires you to always keep a spare on hand. You can charge the battery in the device, but I bought a spare charger to charge without using the camera.

I have never had a problem with this camera/camcorder.
Used to love it, now I hate it2007-09-15
When I bought the unit, I loved it. Then after recording many items onto a disk, the disk became unreadable. Oh, my first use of memorex media. I switched back to old reliable TDK. Nope. It wrote a whole disk of recordings, but cannot reliably read them, nor can I transfer them to a computer or play the disk on a DVD player. It stoped working, was expensive, is not that old, and I don't know what to do.
Great Deal2007-05-13
Nice item to have with you.. with amazon it is really steal deal..
Very user friendly2007-01-12
Pros:
1.Camcorder is very easy to operate.
2.Has most of the option to capture video/photo - Auto, pre-progrmmed.
3.Has manual control to explore more.
4.Video quality is excellent and can be viewed in 21" Screen with clear picture.
Cons:
1. Battery life is less if you use display and zoom
2. The Roxio software gives problem while downloading. So better go for some other software. Even i am searching for the suitable software.
3.As the picture is only a 2MP, it is not must suitable for photos. but reasonable quality can be achieved with 2MP.
BAD BAD BAD2007-01-10
AT FIRST THIS CAMERA LOOKED LIKE THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK. COOL LOOK. HIGH RESOLUTION. ALL THE FEATURES I WAS LOOKING FOR. WHEN I OPENED THE BOX I WAS AMAZED AS TO HOW SMALL IT WAS. IT HAS A COOL LOOK AND A COMPACT DESIGN.

MY OPNINION CHANGED AFTER JUST 30 MINUTES OF USE WHEN THE CAMERA HEATED UP SO MUCH THAT I COULD HARDLY HOLD ON TO IT. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS COOKING FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

I TOOK SOME VIDEO. LOOKED VERY SHARP AND THE RESOLUTION WAS GREAT. DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE SOUND. THEN WHEN I TRIED TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING WITH THE VIDEO ON MY COMPUTER I BECAME SO FRUSTRATED THAT I KNEW I WOULD HAVE RETURN THE CAMERA THE NEXT DAY. AFTER YOU TAKE A VIDEO YOU HAVE TO FINALIZE THE DISC BEFORE YOU CAN TRANSFER THE FILE TO THE COMPUTER. OK, FINE....NOT A BIG DEAL, UNLESSS IT TAKES 3 HOURS TO FINALIZE. THEN WHEN IT GETS TO THE COMPUTER THE SOFTWARE THE CAMERA GIVES YOU IS SO HORRIBLE THE FILE BECOME USELESS.

IF YOU READ THE MANUAL IT WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO USE THE PROGRAM PROVIDED TO GET THE VIDEO OFF THE CAMERA AND INTO THE COMPUTER. IF YOU FINALIZE THE DISC AND JUST PUT IT INTO THE CUMPTERS DVD DRIVE YOU CAN EDIT IT FROM THERE. OK, FINE...IF THERE WAS A PROGRAM KNOWN TO MAN THAT CAN EDIT VR FILES. MAN, THIS WAS A FRUSTRATION.

FINALLY, AFTER ALL OF THIS THE CAMERA BECAME SO OVER HEATED THAT IT FRIED OUT AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. IF YOU ARE INTO WAISTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY THEN THIS IS THE RIGHT CAMERA FOR YOU.
