Customer Review: Getting a toy not a camcorder
I read the product description and liked it a lot but when I got it I found that it looked like a toy rathar than being a reliable camcorder. I returned it the first minute I got it as that was not encouraging at all.

Canon FS10 Flash Memory Camcorder with 8GB Internal Flash Memory and 48x Advanced Zoom The Canon’s FS10 Flash Memory camcorders offers quick response time, because it doesn’t have to wait for moving parts. Press the record button and your FS10 starts recording video faster than you’ve ever seen before. The FS10’s lower power consumption rate allows your battery to last longer. Measuring only 2.3″ wide, 2.4″ high and 4.9″ deep, it combines big video storage capacity in a small, easy to carry body. The 2.7″ High-Resolution Widescreen LCD on the FS10 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. Designed specifically for HD, DIGIC DV II ensures optimal image quality. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction for video images that are crystal clear. You can shoot five 1152 x 648 still images per second, and enjoy faster processing of your images to both the FS11’s internal memory as well your memory card. It also helps lower power consumption for longer battery life. The Genuine Canon 48x Advanced Zoom remains in constant motion through the entire extended zoom range. There’s practically no loss in image quality through an extraordinary range of zoom, so you’ll get good, clear shots. The FS10 offers you more flexibility to get just the shot you need. With the FS10 you get a powerful 1.07-Megapixel CCD image sensor. The video you shoot will be sharp, clear and more true to life, as will your still photos.

Customer Review: Can it get any better ?
Upon opening the box, I was amazed by the FS10! It fits in the palm of your hand (about the size of a can of pop) and feels like a finely crafted piece of equipment. I started video taping two minutes later! Let’s forgo the technical jargon and skip directly to the picture quality … amazing! I was video taping in my store and instantly was impressed with how well the camera compensated for light shining through my windows. A quick scan around and I ask myself “how is this thing focusing so quickly?” Focus is instant and accurate. Now for the really cool thing - when out of zoom mode, you can focus on the hair of a fly! Well, I didn’t try a fly, but I could literally get within 1/2″ of an object and still have instant focus. How do they do it? No having set it for macro focus, it acts like the human eye. OK, how about zooming you ask. Well we had a Comcast guy working on a telephone pole about 200′ from my office. I was videoing through my window. The camera still had no problem focusing, and the anti-shake feature of the camera worked incredibly. I’ve seen other anti-shake cameras and didn’t like the digital blurring that occured. The FS10 somehow has eliminated the blurring. I actually zoomed in on the tool belt of the Comcast guy and could read the brand name! No exaggeration. OK, now for the real test … transferring the video to my computer. Previously, I hooked my audio/video cables up to my video capture card and then went through a long process of capturing and then coverting and then putting the video on dvd. With the FS10, I loaded the software, plugged in the usb cable, selected my video from a thumbnail explorer type of program, and 1 minute later was watching my video with Windows media player. The file is MPEG straight out of the camcorder! REMEMBER, this camcorder has no tape, so all you are really doing is transferring a file from the camcorder to your harddrive. Burning a DVD from there is a no brainer. What else? Well, no moving parts to wear out. Yea, you do have a zoom, but that’s about it. I did think the zoom button had a cheap feel, but not bad. One last thing. I videoed in a dimmly lit room last night. The picture was grainy. Not real impressed with that, but maybe there is a setting for low light. I did turn on the video light and that helped a great deal. Canon uses an LED light - so minimal battery consumption when using the light. All in all, very impressive!

Customer Review: Great little camera
Canon ZR800 MiniDV Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom I just purchased this camera and It is great. It is not at all like some reviews said. The cassette goes in and out smoothly, and it is quiet running. You do have to read the instruction booklet as it has vital information on how to set up and use this little camera. All and all it is worth the price.

I did not have any trouble using this cable to hook up my Canon 20D to an iMac. It was straightforward and easy. I did have trouble with the camera software but that didn’t have anything to do with the cable.

Customer Review: ATTENTION: INFO ABOUT .MOD FILES
First things first, I do not currently own this camcorder. However, I have been researching all the issues with the .MOD file extension and have come across a potential method for the Windows Movie Maker crowd. Although I have no way of trying this myself, I felt compelled to throw it out there so that others may benefit from it (if it works).
