Ext Mic Jack
Cons: No hotshoe

Pros: Good manual controls for money.
Great sockets.
Cons: People who don't use external mike complain about motor noise.
Summary: One of the distinguishing features of this camera is the mike jack, which is rare these days. Combine this jack with a Rode Videomic and an L-bracket and you have a great little outfit that can get a lot of work done. Another great thing is the ... read more

Cons: It is not made anymore, battery life is not so great.
Summary: I bought this camera in the Summer of 1999 and have used it often. I have had 2 other video recorders before this one (Hi8 and VHS) and got tired of each of them after the newness wore off as they were just too big to carry around in social situations. ... read more

Pros: Great picture. Small and light weight. Easy to use.
Cons: Batteries and tapes are not cheap.
Summary: I noticed the retail price of this item was $700 at most stores. If you are going to buy one, search the Net, because I paid $510, and they included video editing software worth $140. If you have a computer and children, a digital camera is the way to ... read more

Pros: Ease of use, light weight

Pros: Great camera with all the features (and more) that you could want for home movies.
Cons: Short battery life, must remove battery when not using, no wrist strap.
Summary: I bought this camera because I was tired of hauling around our full-size VHS camera, and was missing out on family shots, because it was just too inconvenient. The ZR is almost too good to be true, but it is. After a year-and-a-half, the only complaints ... read more

Pros: Size does matter!!! Every Feature and Pocket Sized!
Cons: Better have extra pockets for batteries
Summary:
When you first pick-up the Canon ZR, you won't believe it is a full-featured digital camcorder and not a small film or digital still camera. In fact, every time you pick-up the ZR, you will be amazed that you can have an amazingly powerful ... read more
