After 2 years of hard use and drops it finally stopped working. Worked fine until then. I don’t think Canon makes them anymore so I am getting a similar replacement one so I can use all the accessories.

I recently purchased one of these to replace one that was damaged from a lightning surge. I couldn’t find another (newer) MiniDV camcorder that would also take still pictures on memory card, and do AV->DV conversion (you can play back home movies on VHS, output via composite cable to camcorder, and transfer it to a digital copy directly to computer through the firewire port). Nice optical zoom too.

Consumer Reports recommends the Elura 80. It’s a good camera at a great price. It’s small, easy to use, light, and functional. It’s inexpensive and overall a great buy.
If you plan to transfer content to a computer for editing, however, you should know that you need a FireWire cable that does not come with the camera. That little fact isn’t really documented anywhere obvious, so I spent quite a few minutes trying (unsuccessfully) to get the content transferred via USB cable. So, buy one. And Canon, start including one!

Cons
