Review on 📹 Capture Memories in High Definition: Canon ZR100 MiniDV Camcorder with 20x Optical Zoom (Pearl Silver) (Discontinued) by Sonny Nevers

After returning a defective Sony Handycam (sound was broken) we chose Canon as it had a good combination of features and price. We particularly liked the built-in ability to convert from our old analog camcorders. However, we were disappointed that our first few videos didn't play very clearly on the TV. Video quality was bland, kind of blah, and almost looked like there was some sort of blur feature (it wasn't). The [.] synopsis suggests using widescreen to increase resolution; We don't have a widescreen TV, but we tried it anyway and got compressed, distorted video. There were still some Sony shots on the same film, so we shot the same thing with Canon as we did with Sony - same distance, scene, people and lighting. The difference was amazing: Sony was much sharper and clearer while Canon was a disappointment. Also, Canon didn't show true reds: the reds were light pink. (The seller told us this is typical for Canon, although this can be adjusted with video editing software.) As image quality is certainly important, we decided to return the Canon. After long discussions with techies and store clerks, I received a new (hopefully not defective this time!) Sony.
