Canon ZR600 Mini DV Digital Camcorder Review

CNet has reviewed Canon ZR600 Mini DV Digital Camcorder. Much like its slightly more expensive sibling, the ZR700, Canon's ZR600 performed well in our tests under optimum lighting, while low-light performance yielded significant noise--not uncommon for entry-level Canon camcorders. It boasts a very full feature set for an entry-level model, including a bevy of shooting options, fixed- or variable-speed zoom, and a wide-screen LCD.
The good part about Canon ZR600 is its Wide-screen LCD; easy-to-use controls; built-in lens cover; above-average color reproduction; 25X optical zoom; plenty of manual controls; accepts add-on lenses and filters; low price. But there is no accessory shoe or microphone input; bottom-loading tape compartment; grainy, low-resolution still photos; not enough stabilization at maximum zoom; poor low-light performance. Overall, stick with well-lit environments and you're sure to like the Canon ZR600, a low-priced, feature-rich camcorder.
