    Exactly what I was looking for...

    By Joel  Jul 12, 2007 | 8 out of 10 found this Canon ZR850 review helpful

    Pros: Great Picture, Dual Media: Tape & SD Memory, Price

    Cons: Button controls awkward. Short battery life.

    I bought this camera only a few days before a trip to Seattle. With very limited opportunity to familiarize myself with the product, I was amazed at how easy it was to use. I'm a techy kind of guy which means that I appreciated a lot of the... functions on the camera. One that I found quite useful was the ability to take a picture while recording. I also took some shots of the fireworks recently and the shots came out perfect...the still shots. Getting the video off the camera can be a bit of a challenge. You will need a fire wire connector on your pc. I did not have one but I do now. The sound quality is amazingly clear. I was in different settings from conference room to street performers and quality surprised me. You may want to buy an additional battery. The one that came with the camera didn't last very long. I scrambled looking for a battery the day before I left and found a 3rd party version for about $25. Overall all I am completely satisfied. No buyer’s remorse for me. The only remorse I have is that I didn't buy it sooner. Read more Less

    Good Little Camera

    By Kevyn  Dec 27, 2008

    Pros: Size, ease of use

    Cons: Still picture quality, no fire wire cable included

    I bought this unit last year for the holiday. I was impressed with the video quality but not so much with the audio. Although the mic picks up audio quite well, it also picks up the hum of the internal motor. When I purchased this cam, I assumed bein...g digital I would be able to download video to my PC. Unfortunately, you need a special cable to do this. Well in preparing the cam for the holidays, I re-read the features sheet. The special cable needed is a 4-pin to 4-pin firewire cable. Picked one up yesterday and am happily downloading videos to the PC. Read more Less
