4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, poor at low light and night., September 4, 2004
By John Anderson "John" (Irvington, New York United States) - See all my reviews
So our Sony HI8 died after only about 20 hours of use :(

We decided to give a canon a shot. The ejection door for the mini tape seems less "mechanical" so fewer things to go wrong.

This camcorder is very easy to use. you are able to take decent pictures while taping video and it does not interfere with the video.

Some people complain about "motor sounds". I don't here it, even in my kid's room at night when it is silent.

At low light, the colors are not all that great, kind of surprised. At night the "night shot" is terrible. I would recommend getting the attached light for $60.00.

The things I like:
Size.
ease of use.
Zoom works fast and decent.
Focusing is fast and accurate.
When you turn the camera on, it is ready in about 2 seconds.
When it is on and you hit record, it is ready in about half a second(fast).
In decent lighting, takes pretty good pictures, I was surprised.

The things I don't like.

A lot of these camcorders don't have lense caps or covers that are permanent? They snap on and off, hang from a strap.
I don't have really big hands, but my fingers are too big for the buttons, or should I say that the buttons are very small.
As I mentioned, the low light use is not too good, make sure the room is bright.
Comes wit a 8 mb card with some stupid graphics on it (I erased it all).
No mike input.
No light?

All in all, for the price (when on sale) I highly recommend this camera. Now that I have used it for a while, for a little more money, I probably would have bought the model (Elura80?) with the light.

Like buying a pair of shoes, try several different camcorders, "feel" them at the store. you will see big differences.

Enjoy!

John

1.0 out of 5 stars "Remove the Cassette" problem, May 18, 2007
By parkermaggie (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
Our Elura 60 also has the "Remove the Cassette" problem that other reviewers have posted. Search for this error code and you'll find thousands of pages of frusterated Canon owners and no fix to be found.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk, January 21, 2007
By Ben Jammin (Isaac) "Musically aroused" (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
Had this camera for 3 years. It has always had problems, and the thing just keeps getting worse. Had numerous problems including the 'eject tape' warning, no tape detected, viewfinder has gone out, buttons stop working, photo camera doesn't work, zoom malfunctions and randomly starts zooming in or out, and now something is seriously wrong with the digital chip, as I can't play back the tapes.
All these problems with 1 camera. Wow. What a piece of junk. Seriously, avoid this camera at all costs.
