I bought this to play some old tapes I found, after I had sold the camera I took them with. It works fine for the playback. I have not tried actually recording videos yet, or discovered how good the battery is. But it works fine for the playback. It took a while to figure out how to use the controls, which were different from the old Canon I had, and not so intuitive. The camera is smaller and lighter than the old one, which is a nice feature.

The Canon ZR800 is the perfect starter Digital video camera. We bought this camera to record the Holidays and the kids sporting events as well as the fact that we are having a new baby and we did not want to miss anything when the new baby is born and when she comes home. This camera is very easy to use and has numerous websites to help you in anyway possible. I give this a two thumbs up for being user friendly and for price.
Bought because it was the least expensive camera that would accept an external microphone. It's in pretty good shape and easy to use. I downloaded the user manual and ordered external power supply, extra battery and head cleaning tape.
Good: video and audio quality. Easy to hold, decent battery life. Best: it has a view finder and you do not need to rely on the LCD screen which means: you can see what you are filming on sunny days, and it uses less power. Bad: it uses mini DV tapes which are getting harder to find, i.e. most stores do not carry them anymore. The tapes are fine, just not as plentiful as in the old days. Yes, I would buy another.

Handy to have in my Video Lab to convert Mini DV tapes that were recorded on Canon Camcorders. Many of us in the industry are familiar with the 'Canon Audio Incompatibility' issue, when SOME Canon recordings won't play back on other machines properly... audio is nothing but crackling and static. This little camcorder comes to my rescue time and time again. P.S. I have 4 of them to handle larger orders.
