Pros: clear sound, good storage, ease of use Cons: mic positioning, expensive
My father has had this camera and mini DVD from Canon for quite a while and I just recently decided to give it a try. I have indeed found many things about the Canon Elura Mini DVD that are to my liking; however, I have also noticed some shortcomings...
Pros: Digital Video, Easy To Operate. Options and more options, Bells & Whistles Galore! Cons: Bells & Whistles Galore!
You don't have to be a guy to find certain electronic toys sexy. Okay--you over there--get your mind out of the gutter!! I recently purchased a new toy that even my wife seems to like. (Again?…grow up!)
Pros: Image quality is as good as DVD, superb lighting, excellent editing options and PC connectivity, professional quality video in a tiny size Cons: Steep price ($1400 US MSRP)
Introduction
After over a month of research, I finally decided on the Canon Elura MiniDV Digital Camcorder to tape my family with. In my research, I planned on purchasing a device that would be used exclusively for personal usage, but that...
Pros: great movies, easy to use, versatile Cons: mic position, low-res still pics
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: Small, nice controls, nice video Cons: Lousy stills
This was the second DV camera I purchased. Yeah, I've been through three. I've actually spend the most time with the Elura, and I'd recommend it. But not enough that I kept it myself.
I upgraded to the Elura from Sony DCR-PC1. The Sony was...
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...
Pros: Good design, controls easy-to-use, progressive scan, optical stabilization Cons: No software or Firewire cable, door covering connectors not sealed
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...
Pros: DV quality, compact, easy to use Cons: Still photos are limited resolution
The Canon Elura MiniDV camera is a great way to get into DV right now (Nov '00). I have been using a Sony Hi8 Camcorder for the last two years and was pleased with its performance, but was ready to switch from analog to full digital editing and...
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...
Pros: versatile for lighted shots, very capable of high quality for a 1 chip camera Cons: mic operation is bad, battery time terrible
This is a great camera. I bought it about a month ago from a camera shop online in Jersey. I'm currently working on some small film projects but I have a few caveats.
Firstly though, this is a good camera. It isn't the Xl1 or Xl3, but it is...
Pros: small, easy to use, analog a/v in, great video quality Cons: you must get extra battery, no mic jack
..that is, if you want a high-quality (though high-priced) video camera at the right value, size, and with the right features. this camera is not the popular video camera for no reason at all. besides its impressive good looks, the elura has the best...
Pros: great picture quality, easy to use Cons: expensive
The Canon Elura is a great digital camcorder. Picture quality is outstanding and it is very easy to use. Prior to purchasing the Elura I did a fair amount of research and narrowed the choice down to the Sony and Canon. Although the Sony is a bit...
