Canon Digital Video Camcorder ZR 200

I received the camcorder on Christmas of 2006.As soon as I unwrapped it, I started using it right away.I really like it.Now after having my first baby, I find myself using it nearly everyday to catch her doing new things to record for her father while he is at work and so she can see herself as a child when she gets to be an adult.The battery does seem to need to be charged quite a bit and I would preferred if it was a little bit lighter in weight.The picture quality is very good. You are able to adjust the distance and volume.It takes a mini dv or a standard sd card which you can take pictures and record video on either the dv or sd card.You can set the screen to wide or a standard setting.Digital display effects are also an option.You can move the flip screen 270 degrees.There is an easy to use menu screen.It has a av port, firewall slot and a mini usb slot.The battery is on the back which needs to be charged while attached to the camera.Overall, I am very satisfied with my camcorder.
