from Circuit City Summary: I am 12 years old and have a burning passion for making home movies. I used to have a Canon ES970, but the features, picture quality, and sound quality just DIDN'T CUT IT for what I wanted to do. So, I begged my parents for the Canon ZR45 and finally got it for Christmas. (Aaand birthday, aaand had to work towards it!!!) Anyhow, I was impressed with the outstanding picture and sound quality, and convenient size of the camera. However, the collection of features it had to offer became very dull and unuseful very soon, and worst of all, I noticed this loud motor noise in the background when I played it back on my TV, which made it sound like a piece of crap. Overall, I don't think its picture quality, sound quality, useless digital effects, and ability to take still digital photos is worth what I paid at Circuit City. That is why I exchanged it for the ZR70 there, and am soon expecting that in the mail. But I learned a lesson: NEVER, EVER BUY THIS KIND'A STUFF AT A STORE AGAIN!!! For you see, the same exact camera was 300 n' something dollars on Royal Camera.com, and 600 dollars at Circuit City! Do the math! Strengths: Outstanding picture quality, (If you have the right lighting), OK sound quality, ease of use, and convenient, compact size Weaknesses: Motor noise in the background, small array of features Similar Products Used: Canon ES970 analog video camcorder Customer Service: NEVER BUY IN STORES AGAIN!!! Go online for MUCH BETTER PRICES!!! Believe me, you'll get RIPPED in stores!!!
