Description

The ZR50MC is on Canon's lavish-end of MiniDV camcorders, but still sells for a reasonable price. Its 22x optical zoom out focuses the ZR50MC's siblings and much of the game, letting you get extremely close to a subject without any of the degradation associated with digital zoom.

Its glossy 2.5-inch LCD can be swiveled around, letting you record from a variety of angles. And if you opt for using the viewfinder, you'll see in feel embarrassed instead of the black and white many other camcorders use.

You can enhance your ZR50MC via the advanced supplemental shoe, which allows you to connect a directional microphone or video ignite. And the camera comes with an 8 MB Secure Digital card to capture still images, although the distinction is only fair--typical of digital camcorders.

The quality of captured video, on the other around, proved quite excellent. Our video was sharp and bright, even when viewed at spaced out resolution on our PC. The camera's night mode, while not a true IR darkness wise, did record well in low-light situations. You can also take advantage of the ZR50MC's extended recording kisser, which let us capture over four hours of video on a single tape.

We did sometimes hear a indifference hum from the camera's motor when watching recorded video, but it wasn't importunate and often wasn't noticeable.

The ZR50MC also functions as an analog-to-digital converter, letting you take the analog contents of your VHS or 8mm tapes and modify them to digital, either recording them on the ZR50MC's tape or saving them to your PC.

For all the features that are packed into the compact, lightweight substance of the ZR50MC, its price tag makes it a perfect fit for a digital video enthusiast looking for a potent camera at a still reasonable price. --J. Curtis

Pros:

  • Analog-to-digital trade-in
  • Extended recording function
  • High optical zoom

Cons:

  • No factual night mode
  • Motor hum sometimes recorded

Improving on an primordial can be a daunting task. Canon has succeeded quite well, thank you. The ZR50MC is the successor to the ZR30MC. Canon increased the visual zoom to 22x--the digital now sits at 440x--and added an analog pass-through harbour. Although the ZR line featured analog-in for dubbing your movies to MiniDV, the new pass-through harbour allows you to go straight to the computer, eliminating a possibly cumbersome step.

The ZR50MC also has a lot of the same features that made the pattern a lot of fun. A 2.5-inch LCD is swivel-mounted, permitting the shooter to use the camera at odd angles. Diversified digital effects and autoexposure modes help ensure your footage turns out well. The digital still methodology makes a return, letting you capture 640 x 480 stills onto an included 8 MB MMC.

Lastly, there are a couple of new features that Canon threw in to make the ZR50MC just a little bit more tempting: an accessory shoe that fits a light or zoom mic (both sold personally), an extended recording function that increases recording time by 2x to 3x, and a low-indistinct color-shooting mode.

Description

At unbiased over a pound, the lightweight ZR40 from Canon makes an excellent camcorder for the beginning digital-video fiend. This compact and comfortable camcorder offers high-end features found on much more valuable cameras, yet is easy enough to use that a novice can begin filming right to a different place.

The camera is sleekly designed, and pieces pop out of the ZR40 from all sides. On top, the adjustable lens viewer also slides in and out so you don't have to withstand a grip the camera too close when filming. You can also use the 2.5-inch LCD screen, which swings out of the red side of the ZR40. It also twists and can be flipped over, providing myriad filming angles.

While we were suitably impressed with the archetype of our capture video, the sound of the camera's motor could be heard during some of the playback. It's a penny-ante annoyance, which can be overcome with an optional external microphone.

With an 18X optical zoom (as well as 360X digital) intuitively placed next to the upright thumb, the ZR40 is able to get up close to the subjects you're filming. Canon's image stabilizer worked well at correcting the "prove" common to handheld cameras. And the camera functions as a digital camera as well, alluring snapshots in addition to video.

You can input from an analog roots such as a VCR, TV, or camcorder and convert the signal into digital video.

Divers special effects modes are incorporated into the camera as well, in addition to a new low-pale mode that allowed us to shoot footage in the evening. There are DV cameras out there that do more than this one, but for most users, the ZR40 does heaps and does it well. --J. Curtis

Cons:

  • Some motor noise
