The Reasons You May Not Want to Buy This Camera

by elmoebeesn Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 08 '00
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...

Canon Elura MiniDV: Tiny, Sexy, Cool

by caines , Jan 04 '01
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!)

After much personal turmoil,...

by rahulm , Jul 25 '00
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...

Great camera, but it's been superceded

by LSMillers Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 25 '00
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.

The Elura’s Allure

by theladyophelia , Oct 15 '01
Pros: Extremely portable, excellent low-light performance and picture quality, numerous features
Cons: Subpar battery life, obtuse physical interface
Growing up, camcorders were horrendous, frightening beasts about the size of my father, boasting blinking lights and buttons in every corner...

Now, we’ve got sexy creatures about the size of my father’s palm that STILL boast blinking lights...

16:9, Hollywood,and other dreams

by Dr.Jim , Apr 23 '00
Pros: 16:9 anamorphic, if you know what that means
Cons: 16:9 hard to use without computer savy
Don't need no stinking manual or directions.

Just touch the menu button and it tells you what to do. Even a Doctor can figure it out.

Easy, great quality, durable(dropped it mountain climbing and it still works!!!, splashed it,...

Nice, but I still returned it

by LuckyJack , Dec 03 '99
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...

Who is John Galt? Who Cares?!

by Andyman Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 14 '00
Pros: light, feature-packed, easy, slick
Cons: expensive battery-sucker
(June update at bottom)

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...

Learning to love Elura...

by tsackett , Mar 21 '00
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...

Portable Quality, Easy to Use

by richlt , Nov 19 '00
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...

Power, performance and clarity in the palm of your hand

by flindingo , Jan 28 '00
Pros: Frame capture, DV, Small, Image stablization
Cons: Small (more fragile)
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...

very good mid-high range, few flaws

by wintergreen , Dec 14 '00
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...

Ain't Nothin Better

by christo2001 , Jan 26 '00
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...

Not a bargain

by ronstew , Jul 13 '00
Pros: Tiny. Great picture quality.
Cons: Other cameras give same features much cheaper.
The Canon Elura does everything that is advertised, but at such a price! The reasons I selected it are:

- The shape fits my wife's hand. With her arthritis, this became the primary criterion.
- DV in and out.
- Tiny size.

Great Digital Camcorder

by bjgoldstein , Nov 17 '99
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...
