Crappy Quality Indoors
Some of the reviews here state that this camera produces good quality video is false. I am wondering what they are comparing the quality to. My camera (Canon ZR80) is horrible. When shooting indoors with light coming through a slider door into the living room the image is very grainy. I compared it to one of the old "suit case" analog camera and the analog camera produces I would say 100% better image quality than Canon ZR80.I bought this camera about 6 months ago and am very unhappy. I paid over...

really nice camera but some flaws
i have had this camera for about a year and it is good. one of the problems was that when in low light it dosn't deliver really great quality. one time when i was connecting it to my computer it wasn't working so i had to send it back canon and they repaired it. another thing is the battery life. the battery that comes with it lasts a short while. it seems to drain the battery really fast and i am constantly charging it. it's a good camera but next time i would choose another one....

Please people, great cam!
At first, I was really uneasy about buying the ZR80 because of the negative reviews I read. However, I decided to buy the camcorder because It had the features i was looking for at a great price. When i recieved the camcorder I couldn't wait to try it out, and to my suprise i hardly found 1 flaw. Many people say things like there is loud motor noise, lousy picture in low-lighted areas, and a useless night shot feature. Im here to tell you that they are all WRONG! I couldn't notice motor noice, the...

LOUD Motor Noise!
The first ZR80 that we tested on Christmas morning had a lot of motor noise and it was very distracting when watching the tapes.We exchanged it through Amazon, and the second one was even louder!The recordings are unwatchable because of the noise.I wrote Canon directly, and their response was was "The ZR80 does produce some motor noise when recording on the tape.Thisis considered normal for this camcorder."I'll be exchanging this one for a Sony.Too bad, I like everything else about the camera and...

Good Camera with noticable motor noice
I bought this camera one month ago and I had to return it.Every thing is great, picture quality is good , night mode is great. Hooking up to computer is easy and fun and you can record the video directly to Hard Disk, but motor noice is untolrable.The camera records its own motor noice and is very noticable when playaed back. With loud noices the motor noise is suppressed but still it is annoying....
