Excellent, So Far......
I would like to take this time and give my input about the Canon ZR 20 MiniDV. First off let me say that the size of this thing amazes me enabling me to fit it in my pants pocket (compared to my old vhs). There aren't that many high end features on this but for the basic everyday recording this is an excellent camera. Be aware that this DOES NOT have NIGHT VISION if you want it purchase the ZR-40 series. I purchased this at the [store] that sells mac computers. It cost me [money] and for [the same...

excellent family camcorder
I bought this camcorder to use for family and work purposes.It is very easy to use, and the picture quality is good.It was simple to connect to my tv for viewing.I haven't tried to connect it to my computer yet, but I will have to get a firewire adapter for my desktop first.No video editing program was included, so I will have to get one of those, too.Although basic, the ease of use and small size make this an ideal camcorder for my needs....

Great little camcorder!
Very small and compact, but well laid out so for as the user is concerned.Has both a color viewfinder and a 2.5" LED that extends out from the left side.To save battery power, you can only use one at a time however.Some of the settings are a bit confusing, but going through the manual (well written by the way) will quickly supply answers to any questions you may have.Low light capability is not as good as some others, but the camcorder works well in light ample to read by.By comparison with my Nikon...

What I expected - good base camera to start with
Since I've only had the camera for less than one week, this is just my first impression:I researched around and finally went with the ZR20 for the following reasons: Price, Compactness, and base features.The ZR20 has a great price after rebate if you shop around.It is very small (palm size for my hand), although it's not as small as the Elura.The size is very important to me up to a point. It has to be small enough so that I will end up using it instead of debating if it's too big to lug along because...
