Worked for 15 minutes. Canon won't pay for Shipping.......2007-08-13

I used this camera for 15 minutes and got the "remove the cassette" error message. I tried using other tapes thinking it may have been defective but still received the error message. Then I researched the internet and found out that this is a very common problem. Its so common that if you go to the Canon product page, they have a special link to address questions about this error. Canon's website is basically set up to make you think that you, the consumer, may have caused the problem by allowing moisture or dirt inside or by improperly closing the tape door. However, the real problem here is a defective design.

Since I bought the camera so recently, you would think Canon would apologize and send me a shipping label. No. They are making me pay for shipping to their repair facility.

Needless to say, I will NEVER purchase another Canon product again and I will discourage anyone I know from ever purchasing a Canon product.

Great little camcorder.......2007-06-27

This is a great little camcorder. The size is awesome, small and light. The image stabilization works really well. I have heard the tape noise while recording, but after downloading video and burning it to a DVD I haven't been able to hear it. The audio is great for the price range of this little camera. I especially like that you can record in widescreen. For some reason it gives your home videos a more interesting look. If you are having trouble shooting inside, which has been a complaint from some, try turning all the lights on in the room you're recording in and setting the camera for the tungsten light mode. Recorded this way, the videos look better than if you just record in auto mode. And although you can't really control it, any outside light coming in really enhances the video quality too (especially the color).
I think this was a great purchase for us. Highly recommended.

very good, received in time. I just love it, very easy to use.

Canon ZR700 MiniDV Camcorder.......2007-03-08

So far so good. It showed up pretty fast. I hadn't heard of Electronics Expo, but they got the job done and saved me a good amount over the local stores here. We have a newborn, and this works great for general use (filming playtime, baths, etc). If the lighting is low the picture will be dark, but usually it seems manageable. Pretty easy to use, didn't even read the manual yet. I haven't had a chance to put an SD card in it yet so I don't know how the snapshots will look, but this camera also allows you to take a snapshot of any frame within the video, so thats cool. They have a newer model out soon, or now but I could have only pre-ordered it at the time, otherwise why not get the newer model. I'm sure this one is even cheaper now though, and the new one doesn't use an SD card or take pics. I guess I find the amount of camcorder noise neglegeable.

Transfer Old Videos to Mini-DV Digital Tapes.......2007-02-12

One excellent feature of the ZR700 camera which I have not seen sufficiently 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. (I have a ZR200 and my father has a ZR700; this is a very similar review to my posting for the ZR200)

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 owning the ZR200. 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 ZR200ZR700 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 ZR700 is an excellent camera and has some delightful hidden features, including 16x9 widescreen and direct video to Mini-DV transfer.

Five stars.

Product Description

The Panasonic DVD-CP71 DVD player is a progressive scan, five-disc changer model that is equipped with DVD-Audio and is also CD-R/CD-RW playback-capable thus addressing the increasing popularity of home-recorded audio CDs. Progressive scanning doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal (from 480i to 480p) by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60 of a second for each pass. The higher-density video signal creates film-like DVD images extraordinarily close to the way they originally appeared in the cinema - with rich detail, extraordinary depth of field, and precise color reproduction. With the rising popularity of high definition televisions and their ability to accept and reproduce a progressive scan DVD picture, the DVD-CP71 is positioned to take full advantage of this growing format. To optimize the picture quality of progressively scanned images, Panasonic employs new 54MHz 10-bit video DAC. By processing the video signal at four times the original 13.5MHz rate, this technology provides vivid, finely textured image reproduction. Combined with a process known as inverse 3: 2 pulldown and a 4: 3 shrink function which allows a 4: 3 image to be properly displayed on a 16: 9 screen, this Panasonic player is full featured and ready to take consumers to the next level of video performance. DVD-Audio is the closest thing possible to experiencing a live performance. With storage capacity about seven times that of a CD, dynamic range reaching a theoretical high of 144dB (vs. 96dB for CD), and frequency response stretching all the way to 96kHz, the potential of DVD-Audio is astounding.With all these advantages, the DVD-CP71 is a natural selection for any consumer who wants the benefits of five-disc storage, or for those who are in the market to replace or purchase a new five-disc CD changer.

I love this mp3 player.......2006-11-05

I am a big fan of macvision mp3 players. Last christmas I bought 3 different color ones for my neices and nephews. They love it. This year I
bought one for my brother, his wife and myself. It volume is loud, easy to
work and use and can fit almost anywhere, I highly recommend this product for people that dont like carrying cd's as well as cd players around.

Exercise in frustration........2006-03-24

The only things that I can say is good about this item is: it is small and light as a feather. Once you fumble around and manage to download music to it, it works fine. However, this took me hours because the manaual is worthless, even if you can read the tiny print. I wish that I had spent a little more and gotten a MP3 that was more user friendly.

Decent MP3 Player.......2006-03-21

The MP3 Player is not a bad deal for about $53. It is everything I expected it to be, except it drains batteries like there is no tomorrow. A Triple A Duracell will only last approximately 3 1/2 hours.

Walk away..........2006-03-18

This MP3 player is poorly designed and difficult to operate. We were so frustrated with it that we returned it to Amazon. We gave up trying to get it to work.

Good product.......2006-02-25

It's a good product. To be a perfect product just need to improve the sound's quality. The functionality, the size and the price are o.k.
