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.

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 August 23, 2007
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 May 18, 2007

 Great Video Camera! May 10, 2007

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! February 16, 2007

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.
