  1. I bought this comcorder because of the zoom, price and ease to use. I was inmediately disappointed. The video looks grainy if your shooting is inside the house. In my case, most of family scenes occur inside the house!!! The audio quality is poor. The camncorder can not capture voices more than five feet away unless you are yelling. Fortunately, someone stole it and I decided to buy a Sony HC20. With the Sony the quality of the video and audio are superb.

    Sincerely, I would not recommend the Canon ZR80 not its predecesors.

  2. I bought this camera 4 years ago for $480. Recently I replaced with Sony HDR-SR10.

    The indoor/low light picture quality is extremely poor.

    Its CCD stop working within an year. Cannon repaired it for me. Later I came to know that it is a fundamental problem of this Camcorder. After that the quality was lost further. The footage is full of grains even at very high quality recording using a new DVC tape.

    NOW I AM AFRAID EVEN TO LOOK AT ANY OF CANON’S CAMCORDERS. I WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND PANASONIC OR SONY CAMCORDERS.

  3. I purchesed this camcorder 5 years ago. Haven’t used it a lot but when I have I have bee happy with it. The only thing is the batterry. It only last 25-30 minutes. It sopose to last an hour. The tapes are 1 hour so you have to find a plug that you can use and are not in the way while shouting. The quality is great.

  4. I bought a ZR80 about 3 years ago. It really seemed the perfect camera for me, new mommy who wants to record all the baby stuff. I got lovely videos and everything worked perfectly for almost 2 years. Suddenly, the screen started to appear black. It would record only the sound but not the image. It worked randomly, sometimes it would record the image, sometimes it just wouldn’t….. very frustrating and disappointing! I have read other reviews stating similar problems. I will never get another Canon camera, as I don’t plan to replace it every 2 years!!

  5. We got this camera 3-years ago as a baby shower gift. The camera does not have high quality video indoors, the battery life is really short (lasts only about 30 minutes after being fully charged), and we ended up with the black screen of death (see reviews for Samsung SCD23 MiniDV Camcorder with 2.5 LCD). I would expect a video camera to last much longer than 3-years. I’m very disapointed with this camera and would not recommend it to anyone.
