The Bottom Line: At the price it is, the Canon ZR-45MC outperforms almost all mini-DV camcorders in ease of use, and capabilities. Great for the novice or the professional!

| koolio's Full Review: Canon ZR45MC Mini DV Camcorder |
This camcorder is just plain awesome. It will replace your camera, webcam, and any old camcorder you have! I needed a camcorder for a video class that I'm taking in college and I have never owned a camcorder, so I didn't know where to really start when looking for one. Also, now days technology advancing so rapidly that even my friends and family who do own camcorders didn't really know anything about what was available today. So, after months of research and a budget of $700, I choose the Canon zr45mc. This camcorder is the one of the newest camcorders in canons new product line of zr camcorders. It is compact, easy to use, and best of all, it is mini-DV! (Mini-DV is a lot better quality than hi-8 and easier to transfer and store information on. This is the personal camcorder's latest and greatest technology. The zr45 is in the middle of the class which includes the zr40 and the zr50mc. The zr45mc has a 18x digital and 360x optical zoom and has the capability to store information on a memory card as well as a tape! It can take photo stills at 640 * 480 resolution and it also has various digital effects and an easy to use menu of operations. If you are starting out or continuing use with a digital camcorder, the canon ZR45 is my vote for the best all-around mini-DV camcorder available today!
