Canon miniDV Camcorder is designed to deliver the latest in style, features and advanced technology. I am forced to write the review because of totally uneducated review left by “E. Robles “VJ Pike”. He apparently never went to the menu section of the camera. When i get any electronic item, the first thing I do, is to go to the Menu and play around with the setting. If he had ever visited the Menu section, let alone play around with it, he wouldn’t have written an embarrassing and incorrect review. While I agree with SDHC part is falsely advertised, markers and 41x zoom are not.

Go to Menu->Camera Setup->Zoom and you can select between 37x, Advanced 41x, and 2000x digital+optical zoom options.
Go to Menu->Display Setup->Marker and you can select level marker and grid options.

These are not falsely advertised, but the user did not have the opportunity to find out. I wonder if he bought the same camcorder LCD or thought he did and bought something else.

Regarding the mini dv camera, its a solid performer. Zoom is more than enough. Video quality is pretty good although not the best (For something less than 200$ what do you expect? HD?).
The external mic jack is a big plus. It’s very light and fits right into my hands. Camcorder DV Mini Digital allows me to get uncompressed video out of my tape. Manual controls are adequate, although they could have thrown in more controls for spot exposure, more focus controls.
One drawback is the picture is grainy when shooting in low light. Also it could have had still picture mode to a sd card or something.
