Canon ZR950


(2.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $279


The Canon ZR950 is a decent MiniDV camcorder for novice users with a long zoom.

Review date: Jun 30, 2008

The Canon ZR950 is an extremely lightweight, easy-to-operate camcorder clearly designed with casual or novice users in mind. But how does this MiniDV device stack up to the competition when it comes to image quality? Design As the ZR950 is a small and lightweight camcorder, it’s affected by hand shakes far more than a heavier camcorder like the JVC GR-D850

ProsCons
  • Lightweight, portable body
  • Long 37X optical zoom
  • Widescreen and standard aspect ratios
  • Important functions buried in menus
  • Image quality and stability not as good as competition
