1 out of 5 stars Ejection problems have killed this camera -- and apparently many others.......2007-07-26

We bought this camera a little over a year ago but have rarely used it. However, just when I need it the most to capture a family event, the camera starts beeping and tells me that the tape must be ejected. So I tried to eject it, but it did not eject. Moved maybe a millimeter then moved back. I don't think we put more than several hours of use on this thing and it broke. Very unhappy.

Spoke to tech support, but they didn't offer up anything but disconnecting all power and waiting an hour to start it up again. Didn't work. Have a suspicion that the hour I waited was the hour that tech support closed. Repairs will cost as much as buying a new one. So buying a new one we will, just not a Canon.

Still very, very, unhappy.

5 out of 5 stars ZR200 Transfers Old Video (V8,Hi8,VHS) Like A Charm.......2007-02-12

One excellent feature of the ZR200 camera which I have not seen discussed is its ability to transfer home video from VHS, V8, Hi8, or any other video format which has an RCA jack system (yellow, red, white), to digital video (DV) on Mini-DV tapes.

This feature is fabulous and dramatically easier to use than other methods I have tried. I did not discover it during nearly 1 1/2 years of camera ownership until I inadvertently came across a terse mention of such transfers in the owner's manual. (See Canon ZR200 owner's manual at page 79 for instructions, or page 72 for the Canon ZR700 unit with similar capabilities.)

Suffice it to say that the transfer process is very easy, assuming that one has kept the original cabling which came with the ZR200 (or ZR700) camera. It produces a video image which is superior to any other method I have tried. And I have tried a number of methods, including transferring video to a high-quality external video capture card to DV and ultimately to Mini-DV tape using iMovie on an Apple computer.

Upon careful comparison of like clips, this complex, multi-step approach produced good results, but only a nominally clearer image and it has tiny diagonal stripes running across it and a curling upper left edge from the video recorder heads; overall not as good. The color quality and image clarity that results from direct videotape to Mini-DV-tape method using the ZR200 built-in features is overall, smoother, cleaner and produces a full screen image without diagonal lines or the jagged tape-head artifact in the upper left corner. Direct transfer appears to eliminate this visual nuisance entirely, or at least it did so for me. This significantly improves the image appearance and eliminates an otherwise very distracting visual distortion.

In transferring 20-year old V8-tapes, I was stunned at the improved image clarity and vivid color, in some instances as if the tape had been shot the day before! It was a real pleasure to see clear images from the past - now I only wish I had had slightly better camera skills.

I also recommend buying a cleaner for the heads of any video source you might use; Sony makes a good head cleaner for V8/Hi8 and for Mini-DV. As I cleaned the heads of the video source, the image quality and clarity quality improved significantly.

Overall, the ZR200 is an excellent camera and has some delightful hidden features, including 16x9 widescreen and direct video to Mini-DV transfer.

Five stars.

            We don't like the audio output or microphone performance as well as the previous model G4. What's more, one of the pair was defective when we received it, and we had to pay postage to return it.

            Have a seat. You're about to enter the digital dimension. Inside the DVD-XP30, you'll find a digital Cinema Mode that combines brightness control with picture noise canceling. The result is an image that appears in just seconds. And from the comfort of your chair, you can adjust the picture on your screen. The Re-master function digitally converts standard 44.1-kHz/16-bit CD signals to 88.2-kHz/24-bit so sound quality approaches that of DVD-Audio. And built-in DTS and Dolby Digital provide channel surround sound that will blow back your hair. It's like going to the movies or a big concert without ever leaving your home. That's the digital dimension.

            Amazon.com Product Description

            Whether you currently have HDTV capabilities or you're merely thinking of "someday," the RP82S stands ready to deliver. Progressive scanning (referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image) creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

            This full-featured DVD player supports standard DVD-Videos, ultra-high-resolution DVD-Audio (for music in stereo and surround sound), DVD-RAM, CD-R/CD-RW, and both MP3 and WMA playback and navigation. The player also offers multiple-format video outputs, including stunning progressive-scan video for use with an HD or HD-ready set. Cinema Mode cuts down glare and improves color resolution in a darkened living room, Quick Replay jumps back seven to 10 seconds, variable zoom converts any widescreen image to full screen on a 4:3 aspect-ratio TV (eliminating the black bands at the top and bottom of the screen).

            DVD-Audio discs provide multichannel and stereo sound, incredible storage capacity, and unique bonus materials not available on regular audio CDs. Because the DVD-Audio signal is too high-resolution for the digital-to-analog converters in current surround receivers (and also as an anti-piracy measure), the RP82S performs its own decoding of DVD-Audio signals, passing high-resolution analog, not digital, audio to your surround receiver. This means you'll need an audio/video receiver with multichannel analog-audio inputs. If you only have stereo speakers and don't want to make the jump to surround sound, the RP82S's dedicated subwoofer output will let you enjoy those dinosaur stomps and timpani rolls to the fullest with but one additional speaker (see all subwoofers).

            For connections, you get the works: standard composite-video, S-video, and premium component-video outputs. The latter can be switched to deliver either 480i or 480p (progressive-scan) video. The player also has a single set of stereo RCA analog-audio outputs and an optical digital-audio output to feed stereo audio to a CD recorder or Dolby and DTS to your surround receiver.

            5 out of 5 stars Better than I could have imagined!.......2002-10-08

            It took about 3 weeks of research and comparison, but I finally decided on this deck for my DVD player. The list of features is amazing, it has everything you could possibly want from a DVD player. It is also a very nice looking deck, with a mirrored front and a slim design, it looks great on the rack! Besides the looks and features, the performance is what really sets this deck apart. I demoed MANY decks in this price range, and even some more expensive, and I have yet to see a picture comparable to the RP82S. It even makes my older Sony Trinitron look like a million bucks! The only drawback is the remote, with its' small buttons and awkward layout. Oh well, I guess not everything can be prefect, but in the competitive world of DVD decks, the RP82S comes pretty close.

                4 out of 5 stars Great lens; somewhat cheezy body.......2002-02-23

                While it isn't exactly the cheapest point and shoot out there, the slightly higher additional price is most definitely justified by the fine optics. And it's much cheaper than a faster, fixed focal-length Leica, Rollei, or Contax. Bought mine in Germany about three years ago for a ridiculously low price, and it goes with me everywhere, especially on the job and following the kids around for candid portraits outdoors. It certainly comes close to my professional SLR equipment in terms of picture sharpness and color rendition. As with most modern cameras, stay off the auto program mode and you'll quickly learn the utility of the exposure override, fill flash, manual, and flash-off modes. Almost any other point and shoot with the same or greater zoom range is junk compared to the Leica's Vario-Elmar lens. My only gripes are the somewhat cheap-feeling plastic body (like almost every other P&S) and the slow F7.6 at the 70mm focal length (still fast compared to others, however). If simplicity is one of your priorities, this is a wonderful camera.

                5 out of 5 stars It's like a German car...ugly looks but flawless function.......2002-01-15

                I was a skeptic...could this camera be worth twice the MSRP of its point-and-shoot competitors? Well, my Grandma was correct: buy the best and you'll always be happy with it. I have been using my Z2x for about two months, and I am very pleased. The picture quality is superb: realistic color and extra-sharp images. The camera is very light and compact, fitting nicely into an inside jacket pocket. Typical Germanic hieroglyphs abound in the "mode" LCD screen, but once you learn the symbols' meaning they make sense. (Drivers of German-made automobiles understand the bit about the hieroglyphs already.)
                I do have a few complaints, however. The lag-time between the red-eye reduction flash and photo flash is quite long. The camera is very noisy when zooming and shuttering, and the "mode" button is awkward to master. Except for the smart circle of chrome around the lens, the outer case of the camera looks cheap for the price. The Z2x does not have the "rock solid" feel of more expensive Leicas. But, alas, one buys a camera for picture quality, and the Leica Z2x delivers beautifully.

                5 out of 5 stars This can be our little secret........2001-07-08

                I have had mine for 3 years now. I bought the one that is black outside and looks like a...(cheap) point and shoot. It'll fool ya. The optics are exceptional. I have found myself leaving the camera with diaper bag at the office and just toting this little camera along. I have published many photographs from this camera. It is very capable.

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent point and shoot camera!.......2001-04-18

                I was simply amazed with the results! I used a Kodak Gold 200 film (which is average) , and the pictures were very crisp, clear, and full of color!

                The best part I like about the camera is that it has very few buttons to tinker with. There's a zoom control, a mode button, and finally a button for taking pics. I also like the fact that it has an in-built flash, unlike the Olympus I owned previously.

                This simplistic looking camera has numerous modes for different lighting conditions, etc. a lot more than most other point-and-shoot cameras. It takes some time getting used to the symbols used for the various modes, but after shooting a couple of rolls, I was comfortable with them. This should not be a reason to overlook this camera.

                Overall, a great camera, albeit a little pricey for a point 'n shoot.

                3 out of 5 stars Not Quite User Friendly.......2000-10-31

                Outdoor shots come out crisp and clear. I have several photos from a trip to England that look like postcards! I have only two complaints otherwise this is a great camera for someone who does not want to fuss with settings and just "point and shoot."

                Main complaint is the "mode" window. You need to memorize or carry the explanation card for all the symbols in the mode window. You can't deciper the codes to figure out what any of these symbols mean and it can make a significant difference in the resulting photograph. RECOMMENDATION: Make the symbols user friendly so that we know what they mean or print the symbols and definitions on the back of the camera.

                Other problem is the film-loading procedure is not the best. If the film is not wrapped properly and catches just right, the camera does not operate. I had thought it might be the battery and went through the trouble of replacing a($) battery only to find there was nothing wrong with the battery. RECOMMENDATION: Needs to be changed to an "auto load" just like the "auto rewind."
