Digital camera reviews of Canon ZR10 Digital Camcorder

Digital camera Review: Seems like there's a problem with the thing eating tapes
Summary: 1 Stars

I've been reading reviews here and it seems clear to me that the problem I'm having with my ZR10 is all too common. My camera started acting up and I thought it was just a dirty head. So I cleaned it. That didn't help. Now it too has started eating tapes and won't record or play, at least not consistently. I own a beautiful Canon EOS Elan II which works flawlessly.

Can anyone recommend a DEPENDABLE video camera?

Digital camera Review: Started eating tapes
Summary: 1 Stars

We bought this camera in 2002 and now it has started eating and rejecting tapes. At first it would only eat the expensive tapes and worked fine with the cheap ones. Now, it does not work at all. I paid close to 700$ for this and now it is useless.
It is obvious that Canon goofed up big time on this one. They should read these reviews and do something about it instead of hiding.

Digital camera Review: TERRIBLE!!! Too bad no 0 stars
Summary: 1 Stars

Ditto all the other posts. Worked for about 6mths, then started eating tapes. Repaired twice under warrenty, then warranty ran out, then repaired for $120 and then it happened again. No more good money after bad. Worst electronic purchase of my life. Will never buy Canon again.

Digital camera Review: Tape eater!
Summary: 1 Stars

I bought a ZR-10 in Dec. 2000. It won't eject a brand new tape which
I just inserted.

Digital camera Review: The best money I spent all year
Summary: 5 Stars

I was so excited when I bought this compact and beautifully made machine. With it's color viewfinder, I was able to conserve quite a bit of battery power and still see the colors and moods I was shooting. Of course with it's more than ample battery, you can still get a lot of use out of it even using the viewing screen. I was suprised to see that somebody complained about the optical steady shot because though it doesn't get rid of all the shakes, it does help quite a bit. This is in comparison to the digital steady shot that most other cameras use. The difference is optical uses a prism inside the actual camera to sense movement, instead of using digital algorithms which don't work when filming something that is moving. I took the camera with me on a weekend trip to the San Juan Islands, and I got a lot of great footage on one single charge. Also, the ZR-10 works great with Mac's software imovie and iDVD software. I couldn't find a better software for beginners.
