Pros: Extremely portable, excellent low-light performance and picture quality, numerous features
Cons: Subpar battery life, obtuse physical interface

Pros: versatile for lighted shots, very capable of high quality for a 1 chip camera
Cons: mic operation is bad, battery time terrible

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Monitor flexibility/brightness control
Summary: I was lent this device to assist in recording a wedding. I read through the manual twice and so was fairly knowledgeable as to what this camera could and could not do. The list is very short as to what it cannot do. The list of what it can do is ... read more

Pros: great movies, easy to use, versatile
Cons: mic position, low-res still pics
Summary: I purchased our Elura in Nov. 99, and it's been a great camera. However, if you're buying now you should look at either the Elura 2 or the Optura 2, or other newer cameras that address some of the minor irritations that I'll identify below.

Pros: Tiny. Great picture quality.
Cons: Other cameras give same features much cheaper.
Summary: The Canon Elura does everything that is advertised, but at such a price! The reasons I selected it are:

Pros: light, feature-packed, easy, slick
Cons: expensive battery-sucker

I happen to be reading Atlas Shrugged right now. One of the themes in that book is imagining what we might enjoy if man's innovative potential were truly unleashed. So far, the best Ayn Rand can come up with is a motor ... read more

Pros: Good design, controls easy-to-use, progressive scan, optical stabilization
Cons: No software or Firewire cable, door covering connectors not sealed
Summary: When I first pulled the Elura out of the box I was bewildered, maybe even disappointed. I had expected, naively, that a digital video camera would instantly turn me into a documentary filmmaker. One look at the various buttons, knobs and dials on this ... read more

Pros: Frame capture, DV, Small, Image stablization
Cons: Small (more fragile)
Summary: Canon makes great DV cameras, they're biggest market is for the prosumer, such as the XL-1 and GL-1 (read my reviews on these 2 great camcorders). I also really admire Sony for the more entry level cameras, especially their D8 line (TR7000 read my ... read more
