Customer Reviews

Overall disappointing
I expected more from this camera, having done the research I did. I'm far from a camcorder expert but I'll list the problems I had:

1. Overall picture quality was not much better than a sony camcorder I bought over 9 years ago. I heard that this was one of the better standard definition camcorders available, but having nothing recent to compare it to I can't really say how better it is against other standard def models around.
I think it may be worth paying that little extra to get a HD camcorder if this is one of the better SD camcorders.

2. Picture is very shaky, even for small movements. Was not happy about this at all, I probably would have keep the camcorder if it were not for this.

3. I have no idea why Canon would makes the video files in the .MOD format. Hardly anything is compatible with this file type so you will have to fork out another £15-30 for software to deal with this. And the software given is incredibly slow to use.

4. The shortcut buttons on the flipout screen have no backlight so even in a poor lit room they are difficult to see.

5. Menus are a pain in places, it took me 4-5 clicks to delete a file.

Pros:
1. Good build, lightweight, simple controls.

Even if looking for a simple point and shoot camera I would look elsewhere. I'm just sorry I cannot recommend anything better as I'm still looking myself

Very Shaky picture - even without zooming
Hi, Sorry to say this product disappoints me badly. After doing alot of researches online and reading reviews of this camcorder, I purchased it along with the memory card and USB reader.

The function is really basic as I'd have expected. Well afterall, point and shoot is something I really want just to get the job done. Though, the worst part is the camcorder shake. Holding my breath and shoot is definitely less than ideal, let alone shooting while walking (forget about zooming). Shooting in the dim lit light is less than useless, or perhaps just really poor in a normal lit room.

Why did I buy it? Coz of the budget constraint... lured by the cheap price and fancy silver colour.
