Good camcorder with some reliability issues

intermediate-user, video uploading novice

We bought this after owning a similar JVC camcorder. It has dutifully performed its role. We have not used it very much. I now see that it is selling on Amazon used for $159. I think we paid about $500 for it at the time.

I don't have much to compare it to, but the image and sound quality seemed passable. I was never able to get it to upload video to my computer, but I think that may be my fault.

Recently it broke. The tape would not eject and the camcorder was unusable. It quickly became clear that Amazon or J&R were not going to service it for me. I went to Canon's web site...

Not bad for the price

Strengths: Size is very small, shutter speed is fast, cutom modes are perfect, love the looks, love the locations of the buttons, MiniDV, both Firewire and USB cable ports. Supports both Mac and Windows.
Weaknesses: tight accessories (no bag, etc.), low res images
Summary: I want to tell you guys that this camcorder is perfect for people who crave small camcorders yet they are on a budget. This camcorder has a lot of modes to choose from. The shutter speed is fast. The general key locations are right at your finger tips. Though some people complain that the motor sound can be heard, but I couldn't... read full review »

This little camera is the perfect camera for those active parents who have children. As your children grow older the doing such amazing things, and what better way to remember those than by recording everyone of them. From crawling to first steps, t-ball, baseball, softball, peewee football to high school football, band concerts, marching band fests, parades, and any other school functions they may do during every phase of school. I forgot to put in that other favorite which I wish I would of had this camera for and that would be their first day of school, to capture their expressions and feelings... read full review »

For a consumer who needs 8mm/Hi8/digial 8 functionality, the TRV460 is an obvious choice. But for the consumer who is looking to venture into the MiniDV format (overall smaller camcorder/tape size), the GR-D33 might be a good stepping stone camcorder. The GR-D33 promises to have good video and low light performance, so the slight upgrade investment may be worth it. Making the transition has its pros and cons, the pros being, if you own an older Digital8 camcorder with a DV in/out port, you have the option of digitally copying your older tapes to the newer format. MiniDV tapes are more expensive,... read full review »

Canon - Elura 50 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

This item has been very useful in my lifetime. I have a family of 5 and there is always times to use the digital camcorder. It is great to look back on all the good memories of when my kids were once babies. They grow up so fast and without my camcorder I would not remember half of the events that we once did. It is also a great item because you can take snapshots as well as video. I love my digital camcorder and I would purchase another one just like it. It is easy to carry around because it is small and that is another reason I love it. I would recommend...

I research everything soooooo much before I buy. I look at Consumer Reports and every on and off line service that I can. I always love a product that is easy to use because I am not a technical person. I want all the features and that is what this camcorder gives me. I read nothing but good things about it and the brand has always been very reliable for me. When I got it home, I was able to set it up and use it with all the features I wanted with no problem at all.
