Elura 65 not dependable

I purchased my Elura 65 new, before there were many reviews and like many others have had repeat problems with the "remove the cassette" message. I've had to mail it back to Canon twice and they replaced the drum assembly each time.Now it's died again, with a video tape inside, and Canon wants another $145.00 to get it out.Why would I pour good money after bad?I'll have to write off the tape and just purchase a new a camera, but definitely not a Canon.When it worked, the camera worked great out...

Canon Elura camcorder are unreliable

I dont have this model, but I had the Elura 40.For about 8 months, it works fine.Then it started having tape problems.The tape would not load correctly.Eventually it would not even open up for us to get the tape out.It seems like the entire Elura family of camcorders have this problem.After reading about all the headaches people have about repairs and yet the problem still exist, I've decided to trash the Elura 40 and never buy another Canon.JVC or Sony seems like a more reliable brand....

can not load cassette

Like the other reviewers, I used to be a big canon fan. I owns various canon products. But this Elura 65 dissapointed me. It just refused to load cassette after 8 month of ownership. There was a minor problem before this, the zoom lever will be automatically adjusted to the maximum zoom from time to time. I will have to pull things back to the normal size manually. Now with the tape not loadable, it is useless. I wasn't able to tape some important event such as a groundhog day celebration in Punxutawney...

don't buy this product!

I am so glad to read that I am not the only one having problems with my Elura camcorder. I was having this eject problem few weeks after we bought it. the tape wouldn't work properly, I would get some head cleaning messages, we bought the cleaning tape and it did nothing! The tape would get stuck inside, once we finally got it out, we couldn't close the tape compartment, a nightmare. We sent it to repair right away as I was due with my first child few weeks afer. we got the camcorder back on time...

Eject cassette problem

Until it started giving me that error, it was a great camera.Unfortunately I only used it for about 6 months and 2 tapes before this started happening.I then researched the problem and found that many others had the some problem.I went to the Canon website and the first thing on the Elura page is they defend themselves against the Eject Cassette message.I followed all the steps they suggested and it still wouldn't work.I then called Canon and talked to someone there.I asked them if there was a known...
