Canon ZR45MC Mini DV Camcorder

i bought it for my wife to be for christmas. i immediately took it out of the box and started playing with it. it is easy to use small and has a lot of cool features. i have already made a film for her (we live four hours apart). im sure she will love the camera.

We had to return two ZR45MC because first one has buzzing noise coming from the bottom where the tape is. This noise is very loud that it gets into the tape while recording. The second one, the tape holder vibrates when inserting/ejecting the tape. Finally it got stucked and we can't close the cover. There is also a problem with the power&battery that no power gets into the camcorder. We love Cannon products (experienced with a printer and a digital camera). But we're very very disappointed on this camcorder that we did not want to exchange for a new one so Ended up getting a Sony DMC-TRV18.
