    Dec 15 '02
    Pros: Powerful zoom, simple operations, affordable price, feature rich.
    Cons: Nothing Unusual to complain about as of yet.

    Summary: Canon ES 8400V Hi8 Camcorder

    I may be a bit behind the times when I admit that up until recently, I lugged around a giant, bulky, hard to use, jumpy, and prehistoric camcorder. Yes, it's true. I loved the old Canon...

  • For a life time of memories!

    Jan 10 '03

  • Not Too Shabby

    Nov 25 '02
    Pros: Good Quality and low price
    Cons: Hard-to-reach and hard-to-use zoom button

    Summary: This camcorder is a perfect choice if you want decent quality at a low price during this period of rapid emerging digital technology. Rather than spending $1,000 to $2,000 on a digital camcorder that still records on video tape, consider purchasing a...

  • Canon ES8400V Hi8 w/LCD

    Nov 13 '02
    Pros: Great features, easy to use, excellent recorded picture, plenty of zoom power. Good beginner camera.
    Cons: Night focus could be better, but still good. Initial battery pack could last longer.

    Summary: The Canon ES8400V Hi8 w/LCD is a great camera. First and foremost it is a Canon, which means high quality craftsmanship by itself. It has 22X Optical and 800X Digital zoom power which is more than plenty. The picture quality does decrease some...

  • Better get a sony...

    Oct 24 '02
    Pros: Lots of effects, low price, more features.
    Cons: Had to return twice, built-in light not effective.

    Summary: I bought this camcorder after doing extensive research on the web. I read the one and only review I could find for this camcorder at the time, and it seemed to boast on it. I had no idea that after the experience I had with it I was going to be...

  • Value for Money

    Jul 30 '02
    Pros: Easy access to Buttons, Easy to handle, good sharp picture, feature packed
    Cons: poor quality of built-in light, small LCD, b/w view-finder

    Summary: I bought this camcorder after watching a commercial on TV in April 2002. My first experience was a good one. I had a new born baby and shooting indoors at home with the 2.5" LCD was very easy. I also quickly grasped all the features (except the Flexizone...

  • You Don't Have to Pay Big Money For the Memories!

    Jul 15 '02
    Pros: Inexpensive, All the needed features, puts out a pretty good picture
    Cons: Short battery life, need to buy accessories

    Summary: I have finally made the camcorder purchase! I've been waiting years but every time I looked, the prices were in the $1000 range which was much more than I could justify. My mother and dad.....who NEVER buy electronics purchased a video camera for their...

  • Was a great little camera while it worked!

    May 10 '02
    Pros: Easy to use and clear instructions. All buttons were within reach.
    Cons: Worked for two days than quit!

    Summary: I purchased this camera for two trips that I was taking and used it for about 1 hour to get familiar with it before the trip. Well as luck would have it , this camera died on the first shooting of the trip! It was not dropped or bumped it just quit! It...

  • Excellent Basic Hi8 Camcorder

    Jan 03 '05
    Pros: Many Features -Compact design- Easy to use-Excellent video
    Cons: No remote- Photo feature is of limited use without computer video capture device.

    Summary: It's small, easy to use, has more features than you're ever likely to use, and to my eye the video image on our 32 inch Toshiba TV is as good as our Sony Digital 8 camcorder (and will record for twice as long ------120 minutes vs. 60 minutes on a
