5.0 out of 5 stars better than expected, July 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchased this camera to replace my other Canon ZR100, which just wore out. I record video every day, so I need a camera easy to use, and always ready. So far, the ZR960 is easier on battery life than the ZR100 was, which is good. The new lens cover is easier to use... great. The new screen is larger... great. So far this camera is better than I expected.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent camcorder, June 17, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Quality is great when using Sony Vegas Pro. (only saying as I have not used it with another Video Editor) Great quality on LCD, Viewfinder is a plus...not alot of Camcorders have them. Functional toggle and buttons easy to use. Manual settings usually not needed, unless you shoot night shots of lightning as I do. Mic jack a big plus! MiniDV is still better than other mediums.
Def recommend the Canon Line of camcorders!
