Product Description
Moving and still images come out sharp and clear, without blurring. You usually see a disappointing image when you take a 'freeze frame' out of a moving image from video. Not this time, with the ZR25MC's Progressive Photo function. It records crystal-clear images of even moving subjects. The camera uses its iris like a still camera's mechanical shutter, resulting in full-frame images virtually free of time-lag blur.Sleek and compact, the ZR25MC camcorder is comfortable to hold and small enough to slip into virtually any pocket. But don't let the size fool you: it contains an array of powerful features, including a flexible LCD view screen that folds into the camcorder's body, an optical and a digital zoom for dramatic close-ups, and an image stabilization system for shake-free video even without a tripod. ZR25MC connects easily to a DV-ready personal computer for editing, or to your TV for the joy of sharing memories and experiences.

Eating tape, Garbled picture
I have the same problems that everyone else is talking about. I get several bars across the screen that make the picture not viewable. I noticed that the camcorder was making a very faint noise that sounded like the tape was wrinkling. I took the tape out and sure enough there was slight evidence that the tape was being damaged especially on the top edge of the tape. It sounds like it is not even worth it to get it fixed. I guess I will look in to getting a new camcorder that is NOT a Canon....

Great while it lasted
We bought the Canon ZR25 right before our daughter was born.It took excellent video but was slightly grainy and did have some problems with it trying to focus on other objects.We could live with that because it was so easy to use.However, now I've been working on doing some video capture with my PC and it just ate my daughters 6 month old tape.I figured I'd better not put any of her other tapes in until I tried it out with a new tape.That was a good decision.Now the camera won't play or record and...

Defective Product-Avoid
We bought this camera about 2 years ago.Shortly after buying it, the camera stopped functioning.The only way to fix Canon Camcorders is to send them to one of two Canon repair facilities.We sent it in and it was repaired under warranty.Annoying but fine.Now less than 1 1/2 later, and after light to moderate use, the SAME THING happened.We sent it back to be repaired and were told it would cost $145 to fix!What robbery.I might think of repairing it if I thought it wouldn't break again in a few months...

Wonderful!
My husband and I were expecting our first baby in January of 02, so we started looking (and looking...) for a digital camcorder.The camcorder had to be able to take still pictures for e-mailing, because all of the grandparents live out of state.After checking Consumer Reports and reviews online, we decided that this camera would fulfill all of our needs for the price range we could afford.We have had our Canon for almost 6 months now, and we absolutely love it.The video is crisp, and even transfers...

Tape jamming problem
I purchased this camcorder in November and have successfully used 4 tapes.Very easy to use and compact.Most still pictures ended up being dark, but in regular daylight most video was of good quality. Last month, I inserted a brand new tape and it ended up jammed.I couldn't eject it and the camera wouldn't perform any other function.I returned it to the place of purchase (where I had an extended warranty) and all they could do was send it back to Canon for repair.I figured this was no big deal, until...
