Product Description

In a sense, life is a trip. It consists of all the feelings and experiences one has from birth to death. A camcorder can help preserve life's highlights and even perpetuate one's existence as videos are viewed by subsequent generations. That's a very worthy endeavor. That's where the Canon ZR300 comes in. The ZR300 houses some of Canon's most-advanced digital technologies in a sleek shell designed for superior ease-of-use. Featuring a high-resolution 16:9 widescreen home theatre recording mode, powerful 22x optical/440x digital zoom, and compatibility with both Windows XP and Apple Computer systems, the ZR300 camcorder is the ideal choice for chronicling the many chapters of your life. A built-in image-stabilizer helps reduce camera shake from normal hand movements for a smoother video image result. You can use the ZR300 after sunset: In SuperNight mode, the camcorder's white LED assist lamp lights up automatically in low light conditions to provide extra illumination.

Customer reviews

Works great until it doesn't - 2.5 yrs light use and BROKEN 1
If you want to know how good this POS from CaNOT is, just do a google on Canon ZR-300 "remove the cassette". This message will appear after very light use and the tape will constantly eject. Lots of other people have had the same issue. Have missed 2 very important occasions because of this problem. My last digital camera which was also a Canon stunk too, I will never again support the Canon team as they try to pedal worthless overengineered under QC'd pieces of junk to the American market. They also have a proprietary software system in their copiers that you have to pay 5k and be a dealer to do anything with. Here's hoping Canon's sales drop and they go bankrupt.

"Remove Cassette" too frequent 2
Nice picture quality, nice zoom. It would also be nice if this camcorder functioned half of the time. Does "remove cassette" mean anything to you?
My advice: Never buy Canon. I've used GL1's and GL2's that have also had this problem.

fairly good 4
I have had little problems with this product at all.
only complaints:
-poor battery life (even with upgraded)
-no frame record mode on camera ( if there is can someone please reply on this)
thanks

Great Video Camera! 5
I bought this camera more than a year ago, but I was updating some reviews when I realized I never wrote one for this product. Well, I just have to say that it's a wonderful camera that shoots high quality film. I do some video editing as a hobby, and I am happy to have the Mini-DV's available for transfer to my PC. If you are going to do any editing, always get Mini-DV, it'll make your life much easier. The only complaint I have is shooting under low light situations where the picture becomes pixelated and could use improvement. All in all, a great camera at a great price!

Great camcorder: highly recommended! 5
This really is a great camcorder that I have been using for more than a year now. I have not seen any problems so far. I has excellent video quality. It is quite handy and easy to carry. Also, unlike some, I do not hear a playback noise. I also used to have Canon ZR500 and ZR600, but I can say that this one is better than those. I totaly recommend Canon ZR300.
