I've bought a second ZR930 for a family member because we really like ours and it is perfect for newbies. Very simple to operate and just as easy to download from the tapes to a Firewire'd PC (I have Vista and it was easier than I expected, must buy firewire cable though). Only difference between 930 and 950 is that 950 has SD slot for still shots (930 doesn't), and the 930 has an external mic jack (950 doesn't). I'm not interested in taking stills with my video camera, so the 930 was the better choice for me and cheaper! |

Great Camcorder! |

I bought this Camcorder 2 months ago from Jas-store. I use it to record family events, starting with my daughter's High School marching band competition at the KSU stadium in Manhattan, KS. Even though I was way up in the stands, the 48X zoom made it look like I was on the field with them. The video and audio quality was awesome! I especially liked the 16:9 wide format output that looked great on our Samsung LCD HDTV! I have recorded several other family events in different lighting conditions with great results. Transferring the output to a DVD Recorder using its firewire output and a firewire cable (not included) was easy. I would highly recommend this Camcorder! |

Received a unit that either had a bad battery or a bad charger. |
I received a unit that had a bad battery or a bad charger. I called and asked it I could get a different battery,
but was told I would have to send the unit back. I obtained a RA and sent the unit back UPS (no charge to me)
Expecting to receive a replacement, instead I got a call telling they were sorry but I wouldn't get a replacement
but I would receive my money back. Received my money less the shipping charges that was incurred on my
initial order.I later found that the camera was no longer available so I went to Sears and got a different one
on sale. I don't get why it happened this way unless the Model is discontinue but no one has indicated this. |

Love it !!!! |

I was looking for an inexpensive mini dv camcorder. I looked and researched a long time before buying the Canon ZR930. I was looking for simple, light weight and a good price. I bought this camcorder a month ago and love it. It is so simple to use and I have had no problems with it or using it. It is very light weight. I really like the built in lens cap. It also has a great built in mic. I use this camcorder a few times a week. I would recommend this camcorder to anyone. I am a novice with a camcorder. This one makes me feel confident about taping events and such. Great price. Great camcorder. |

A very good entry level device |
I bought this specifically so my wife and I could tape horse riding clinics and our practice exercises. Quality zoom was important to us, and the ZR930 has it. Video quality is fine for playback on a home TV, with settings for regular or wide-screen.
Firewire download to a PC with XP works well, but mind you, it happens in real time, so half an hour of video takes half an hour to download. Downloaded files are massive, and our PC's external hard drive is going to get some work. While I chose this model for the external mic input, the built-in mic picks up voices from a considerable distance, so the point-and-shoot approach works well for us. The little joystick on the LCD panel looks dainty, but a gentle touch is all you need, and the response is good.
One minor annoyance: there's a slider switch to focus the eyepiece, but it's in a tiny nook between the eyepiece and the battery where an ordinary finger doesn't fit easily. It's a problem if people with different visual acuity share the camera.
Add-ons and accessories you may find useful:
Spare battery or two (large size)
Firewire cable (4-pin on the camera, 4 or 6 pins at other end, depending on what you're plugging into)
Tripod (zoom is excellent, but requires a very steady hand)
Stand-alone battery charger (for when you need to be shooting and recharging simultaneously) |
