5.0 out of 5 stars Very satisfied., August 2, 2005

By	Joseph A. Gillespie (Audubon, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We got this because it is compatible with MAC and iMovies. We are very pleased with the quality of pictures and ease of use. Lots of features we haven't explored yet but it easily does the job. We handed it over to our 11 year old and she did a great job with it, even with unsteady hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little Camara, August 9, 2005

By	Deliza Nieves "Deli" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my first digital camcorder and so far so good. I'm very happy with it. Easy mode is great for beginners like my husband and kids. I love the auto mode where I have control of special effects etc..... I highly recommend and the price is pretty good.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worked great until it broke only after 3.5 hours of use, December 2, 2006

By	J. Standley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It was a great little camera until it broke. On it's forth tape, about midway through it beeped with an error and then wouldn't eject the tape. Luckily we still had 2 months left in the warranty. Warranty repair was fast!

It was fixed and returned stating "Replaced capstan motor assy, fuse. Cleaned and adjusted tape path and torqued".

I researched the net after it happened and found it's a pretty common problem with canon camcorders. Not sure why I didn't find that info before I bought it with as much research as I did then. From what I've read, the cost to repair this problem once it's out of warranty is around two hundred.

It's still a great camera, but breaking after less than 4 hours is pretty sad. It also didn't have a rough life, we were using it to film our first child. We would take it out of it's case, film for awhile and it went right back in it's case, never left the house.
