Product Description

The ZR50 MC takes advantage of the latest digital video technology, yet is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Sporting a sleek body design, and an extensive list of features, this camcorder provides exceptional results, and is remarkably easy to use. Canon's attention to detail guarantees a flawless shooting experience, seamless connectivity, and endless creativity.

Amazon.com Review

The ZR50MC is on Canon's high-end of MiniDV camcorders, but still sells for a reasonable price. Its 22x optical zoom out focuses the ZR50MC's siblings and much of the competition, letting you get extremely close to a subject without any of the degradation associated with digital zoom.

Its bright 2.5-inch LCD can be swiveled around, letting you record from a variety of angles. And if you opt for using the viewfinder, you'll see in color instead of the black and white many other camcorders use.

You can enhance your ZR50MC via the advanced accessory shoe, which allows you to connect a directional microphone or video light. And the camera comes with an 8 MB Secure Digital card to capture still images, although the quality is only fair--typical of digital camcorders.

The quality of captured video, on the other hand, proved quite excellent. Our video was sharp and bright, even when viewed at high resolution on our PC. The camera's night mode, while not a true IR darkness mode, did record well in low-light situations. You can also take advantage of the ZR50MC's extended recording feature, which let us capture over four hours of video on a single tape.

We did sometimes hear a slight hum from the camera's motor when watching recorded video, but it wasn't obtrusive and often wasn't noticeable.

The ZR50MC also functions as an analog-to-digital converter, letting you take the analog contents of your VHS or 8mm tapes and convert them to digital, either recording them on the ZR50MC's tape or saving them to your PC.

For all the features that are packed into the compact, lightweight body of the ZR50MC, its price tag makes it a perfect fit for a digital video enthusiast looking for a powerful camera at a still reasonable price. --J. Curtis

Amazon.com Product Description

Improving on an original can be a daunting task. Canon has succeeded quite well, thank you. The ZR50MC is the successor to the ZR30MC. Canon increased the optical zoom to 22x--the digital now sits at 440x--and added an analog pass-through port. Although the ZR line featured analog-in for dubbing your movies to MiniDV, the new pass-through port allows you to go straight to the computer, eliminating a possibly cumbersome step.

The ZR50MC also has a lot of the same features that made the original a lot of fun. A 2.5-inch LCD is swivel-mounted, permitting the shooter to use the camera at odd angles. Various digital effects and autoexposure modes help ensure your footage turns out well. The digital still mode makes a return, letting you capture 640 x 480 stills onto an included 8 MB MMC.

Finally, there are a couple of new features that Canon threw in to make the ZR50MC just a little bit more appealing: an accessory shoe that fits a light or zoom mic (both sold separately), an extended recording function that increases recording time by 2x to 3x, and a low-light color-shooting mode.

5 out of 5 stars great camcorder... affordable cost... can't go wrong.......2003-03-01

i've had my zr50 for two months now, and i love it!! when i was shopping around i considered the zr50mc and elura 40mc. i'm a mac user so, i had to make sure i bought a camcorder that supported mac os x, imovie and iphoto. after reading the consumer reviews on both camcorders from a few different sites, including the reviews on amazon.com, i opted for the zr50 and have not been disappointed.


i read a lot about the motor humming noises, but truthfully i don't know what humming noise was being referred to. the recorded movies are sharp and crisp; the colors bright.


i do agree with the "night mode" feature being a bit lacking, although the camcorder will record in low-light environment just fine.


no complaints on the battery life and required charging time.


the analog pass through feature is awesome...allows me to edit older movies recorded from an analog camcorder on my ibook!


i was also surprised by the quality of still shots taken on the zr50's photo (digital camera) feature...crisp, vivid colors, not too grainy. after reading some of the reviews, i didn't expect much from the still image feature.


bottom line -- the zr50 is a great buy, and it's affordability can't be beat. works fabulously with mac os x (and jaguar) and compatible with imovie and iphoto...

5 out of 5 stars Great Camcorder At Great Price!.......2003-02-04

This is an awesome camcorder! I've had it for about two weeks now, and I love it. The video quality is very good and its compact size makes it very portable. I have a Apple iMac G4 and the ZR50 runs outstanding with it.

I am an amateur filmmaker and I was previously using my father's Canon GL1, which is a great camcorder, but I needed something for myself. I was skeptical of a high quality camcorder at a low price. So I did all the research and liked the ZR50.

The still quality isn't that good, but that is not why I bought it. If you are looking for a nice digital video and still camera, this is not for you. It is a nice bonus, though, to take low quality photos and share them with people over the Internet.

If you have read that the motor noise is a problem, well, the same noise is on my father?s Canon GL1 which is $... So, you make the decision to associate the noise with this particular camcorder or not.

If you want a small digital camcorder that takes great video at a good price, this is one for you.

5 out of 5 stars Great Deal!.......2003-01-15

I bought this camcorder just before Christmas. I've read all the reviews before decided to buy it, they are really helpful. This machine is perfect to me, having all the great features described by previous customers.

And I had a real good deal having a free carring bag and free software from Cannon and even a rebate. So, before you pay your credit card, go to check whether there is a rebate or discount offer from Manufacture. Sometimes, you have to browse some where else to find it, I don't trust other retailers, although they do seem to offer better price (they have very high shipping fee!!!).

5 out of 5 stars Ideal Camcorder for me.......2002-12-31

I like Sony. But 10x zoom, size and weight steered me away from them. After reading MANY reviews on this site and elsewhere, I wanted to get the ZR40. Then the ZR50 appeared in my Gold Box and I decided to order it. I'm sure glad I did!!

I ordered it together with the external mic DM-50. (You have to order some tape with it, too. Why doesn't Canon include a tape?) I also have a Mac PowerBook G4. Here are my findings:

1. The video quality outdoors is just great. When you play back on a TV, it looks like any professional TV program. Crisp, colors are great.

2. Optics are excellent. 22x zoom lets you fill the screen with an orange 15 ft away. Shake is no problem. Digital zoom only marginally beneficial.

3. The stills are nothing special. But even a megapixel (like other brands) is nothing special. (My first digi camera was a Kodak 1.3 Megapixel. Nice but only good enough for very small printouts. I have a 4 Megapixel Olympus for hi-res printouts today.) Quality is OK if you want to send 640x480 web images.

4. Sound: The built-in mics are better than expected. They are sensitive and omnidirectional. There is some hum from the motor. Not a lot. But the real kicker is the DM-50. It's not totally cheap but it's worth it (in my eyes). The mic is very sensitive and audio is CRYSTAL clear. I taped my wife singing about 25 ft away. She is an opera singer, soprano. Her voice in the high range is a challenge to any mic. It's sensitive enough that I could hear her muttering with the organist, her pageturns. And yet her singing did not distort. The quality exceeds my 2 semi-pro mics. People only 10ft off to the side definitely sounded off mic. And even people right behind me were softer on tape than people in front 20ft away.

The DM-50 has also 2 stereo settings that are more omnidirectional. I haven't explored them yet.

5. Connection to the Mac is absolutely a breeze. Just plug in the firewire and load iMovie and you have the camera image on the computer monitor. You can record/import the camera image directly to hard drive w/o hitting record on the camera. iMovie also controls the camera to load the edited movie back onto the camera tape.

6. After the first 15min of taping I got a message that the heads would be dirty?? I ignored it and kept going. No problem. Maybe there was some residue on the heads from the factory? (The handbook says to clean the heads every 20 h.) 3 h of taping later, the message still hasn't come back.

I'm so glad I got the ZR50. 22x zoom and DM-50 are worth it!

3 out of 5 stars Inferior Picture Quality.......2002-12-17

Most of the video cameras I have used in the past several years have been Sony's. However, I have had very good experiences with both Canon digital cameras (G2, Powershot s300 and Powershot s230) and Canon 35mm cameras. Considering the excellent return policies that are out there, I thought that Canon was worth a risk. Note that I was in the market for a Mini DV camera and wanted to keep my budget under $1,000. The other camera I was considering was the Sony DCR TRV27.

The packaging of the camera was very nice (especially when compared to the TRV27), with 4 color printing on the outside, and a little molded plastic tray inside to hold all the wires, battery, remote, and other accessories. Although I wouldn't ever make an electronics purchasing decision based on packaging, this was a nice touch that is getting lost by other brands. When you consider that many camcorders are given as gifts, presentation does count for something.

Inserting the battery and plugging in the power supply is quick and intuitive...no surprises here. Inserting a Mini-DV cassette is also fairly simple and loads from the bottom. Compared to the Sony, the loading mechanism is almost the same. Both have the counterintuitive feature of half-closing the tape compartment to trigger the mechanical tape insertion. Although this seems to be the "standard" tape insertion protocol for Mini-DV cameras, it might be easy for an untrained friend or family member to injure your camera if they change the tape.

The Canon ZR50 body feels great in your hands. It is very balanced, appropriately light, and the on/off and record toggle buttons fall naturally under your thumb. The on/off/record buttons are big enough to easily manipulate which is a BIG advantage over the tiny, cramped Sony buttons. If you want very simple controls, or are giving this to a novice camcorder operator, the Canon ZR50 might be a great choice. The play/rewind/forward/stop buttons that you can see in all the photos of the camera are also very big and intuitive. You can even change the backlight colors of the p/r/f/s buttons for an extra cool factor. There is also added perk that the p/r/f/s buttons can glow different colors when the camera is in Player mode vs. Camera mode; when my friend couldn't get the camera to record, I could tell from across the room by the colors of the buttons that he was in the wrong mode.

The construction of the camera is really solid, and feels much tighter than the Sony. The swing out LCD screen and the viewfinder are adequate. Some people who held it made a comment that it had an overall "PlaySkool" quality to it, as if the camera was a rugged little toy. For some reason, this comparison does seem somewhat appropriate.

Recording quality is where the camera falls short. I lined up the Canon next to an older Sony DCR-PC10 (since I didn't have the TRV27 yet, this was the closest test I could do). Holding the cameras side by side, my friend and I shot indoors images, outdoors images, and zoomed in/out with the optical zooms. Comparisons were made based on video quality, color accuracy, brightness and sharpness.

The Canon was consistently off in terms of color accuracy: whites tended to have a red cast and purples were blue. The Sony was very accurate and even its LCD was close to what our eyes saw. Light/bright colors were blown out when outdoors on the Canon, but the Sony captured more color detail in these situations.

The Canon was roughly 20% darker than the Sony in low light. Using the Canon's Low Light and Night modes did not sufficiently compensate for brightness. Image was very grainy and dark in situations such as normal office lighting. Grain became excessive on the Canon at moderate to high zoom levels, but was always present nonetheless. Sony was superior to the Canon in all these situations. Furthermore, the Sony image was approximately 50% sharper and retained better detail on subjects like the folds of a shirt or leaves on a tree. Manipulating the manual settings such as shutter speed, or the various AE modes did not significantly improve quality on the Canon.

Quality comparisons between cameras held true when viewing on LCD screen, NTSC monitor direct from camera, or NTSC monitor after transferring DV files to Final Cut Pro.

Finally, there is the issue of the tape whine that is commonly reported. The wine was clearly present. Since the human ear can hear any DV camera's motor whine, I can't completely fault Canon for recording ambient room noise - including its own motor! However, it is more aesthetically pleasing to have a camera that doesn't pick up its own hum. Again, the Sony Mini DV did not pick up its motor noise.

In summary, this camera would be a great pick if Canon could improve the quality of the picture with a special emphasis on indoor lighting conditions. Unless you are not concerned with getting the best video quality you can for a similar price, I would not purchase this camera. The Sony DCR TRV18, 25, 27 and 50 all have the same Mini DV mechanism (i.e. Mini DV quality), so you should be able to find a price point to fit your budget.

Product Description

The preamplifier is the control center of your audio system. A good preamp offers enough inputs and outputs to run your system, and combine with an amp to give you power with little noise. Flexibility is the concept behind the modular separates line. A chassis featuring only amplifiers allows a multizone system to be operated from a single location. The Preamp 5.1 Stereo Preamplifier gives the user greater control over both the configuration and sound of the system. While the rack mountable design allows modular separates to work with any system, the Preamp 5.1 turns the modular separates into a complete, independent unit.

Amazon.com Product Description

Build your audio system from the ground up with separates such as the AudioSource Preamp 5.1, a dual-channel preamplifier that gives the listener greater control over both the system's configuration and its audio performance. Designed to link modular amplifiers and/or equalizers to your CD player, DVD player, or other source component, the Preamp 5.1 offers an ideal means of controlling a multizone system from a single location. The device is also rack-mountable, so it works with any system.

The Preamp 5.1 includes such functions as a system volume, bass and treble controls (with a tone button that activates or bypasses the controls), and a balance knob. The device is also equipped with two XLR/balanced and two RCA/unbalanced inputs and outputs, along with a line button for switching between the input types. In addition, listeners will appreciate the unit's impressive technical specifications, which vary from a frequency response of 10 Hz to 100 kHz to a total harmonic distortion of 0.008 percent. For best results, listeners can combine the Preamp 5.1 with other AudioSource modular separates such as the company's line of monoblock amps and its five-band stereo graphic equalizers. The Preamp 5.1 measures 7.13 by 16.5 by 2.25 inches (W x H x D) and weighs a mere 3.25 pounds.

This may be a fine 2 channel preamp but I believe calling it a 5.1 (Apparently it weighs 5.1 pounds)is deceptive! Buyer Beware! This will not function as a home theater preamp.

          3 out of 5 stars decent.... but............2007-02-14

          I've had this player for about 1 year already. When I purchased this unit, it was one of the few portable 10" DivX players on the market; therefore making this unit overpriced ($400).

          Pros:
          1. Plays about 95% of my DivX and XviD content.
          2. Easily the large screen.
          3. The portability of this unit comes equipped with the essential traveling accessories.
          4. The built-in speakers is pretty loud but the quality could definitely use some improvement.
          5. The weight and size is great for airplane travel.

          Cons:
          1. The subtitle are in yellow only. Some other brand's unit uses a white-lettering with black outline. The yellow-only subtitle makes it difficult to read.
          2. If you have multiple files (i.e. MP3 on a CD) the filenames cannot be too long or repetitive. The filenames get truncated on the menu screen when you are listing the contents; therefore you'll get short names that aren't very descriptive.
          3. The remote is not backlit. Some people just like to use their unit in a darker environment.
          4. The battery could last a bit longer.

          5 out of 5 stars Big screen; plays DIVX; excellent customer service........2006-08-26

          The first Avayon I bought was a DXP1000 standard sized player that I bought for myself. I liked it well enough that when my mom's DVD player broke, I bought her a DXP1000 as a replacement.

          A few months after that I decided to replace my clunky old Polaroid 5" DVD player with the Avayon DXP-10P. The amazing thing (to me) is that the DXP-10P is only slightly physically larger than my original Polaroid player. The 10.2" screen is clear and bright and the volume and other controls are logically laid out. You can play a wide variety of media on it, including DIVX files. My favorite feature is the USB input. I can copy files onto a standard USB flash drive and play them with the DXP-10P without having to bother burning anything to a CD or DVD. It also has a memory slot for digital photos but I haven't tried that.

          In the time I've been an Avayon customer, I've had to use their customer service twice. On both ocasions, I was treated to a quick response from an actual human that solved my problem instead of emailing me boilerplate. The product is great, and the service is outstanding.

            1 out of 5 stars Too much trouble . . ........2004-08-24

            I purchased this product for the first t-shirt transfer project that I did. I found the sheets very difficult to work with. Becuase you have to peel off the paper while the sheet is still hot, (1) it burns your fingers while you work and (2) the transfer pulls and tears very easily. I would recommend the HP t-shirt transfer sheets whole heartedly. You let them cool and the paper pulls away from the transfer easily.
