Canon MV650i

Easy to use, very easy access to menu, photo taken from movie film onto sd card for quick easy print out, at a touch of a button. press another button and it loads photos from sd card onto the film. Excellent zoom range, all the choice of features at your finger tips. Slow startup as with many cameras and camcorders it gives you the welcome intro before you can start to record but still not to slow. can be a little heavy after a while. Very good value, loaded with easy to use features quick cables for easy copying of taped footage onto DVD recorder.

The Canon MV650i camcorder looks pretty good as long as it's left on the shelf. The moment you pick it up to record, all its image and looks just fall apart. It's a nightmare. So far during the last 3 years, it has spoiled 12 birthdays, two overseas holidays ,a few school plays and functions. Will NOT recommend to a friend.
