Good Points
The MVxxx range are basically good cameras
Bad Points
CCD problems on lots of different models of this camera
General Comments
The Canon MV600 is basically a very good digital camcorder, although it has suffered from CCD problems.
I would hope new MVxxx cameras would now be cured of this defect.
My MV650i failed with 'the black screen of death'. The problem is like the lens cap is permanently on. You can play back OK, but you can't record. I also believe this problem is not restricted to Canon camera's.

I also have the "black screen of death" on my Canon MV600 digital camcorder. It does work occasionally, but it cannot be relied on any more (play back is fine). However, it looks as though I'll have to replace it after less than 3 years.

Hey guess what, me too. Nice that I am not alone. Discovered this problem at my sons 8th birthday party with all his friends there and everything. Thanks Canon, I will be in contact.

Contact Canon UK and complain. They will eventually advise you where to send your camcorder for a free repair, or search the web for MV600 CCD problem.
