Reviews & Ratings



Michael Kraus's Review from Manhattan, New York: - July 9, 2007
Honestly, I hate wiring reviews I think they are utterly not useful and are a waste of time but, this camcorder deserves not one but, a dozen if not more reviews. With its exceptional and awesome touch screen to recording amazing picture quality in widescreen this is the best camcorder that has fell into my hands. I find it so easy to use with no complications during setup or anything. My wife is beyond pleased with its size, clarity, ease of use, versatility and high quality pictures as well as movies. There is no way to go wrong with so many features that it has. User friendly and beyond words. If your thinking about buying it, dont even hesistate. Absolutely, nothing to hesitate about.
F. Surintina's Review from Shreveport, LA: - July 9, 2007
I am a mother of 4 kids and was looking for a easy, quick and a good camcorder to capture those "one time only" moments. When I opened this camcorder I was taken aback with how easy it was to zoom in and out and to capture all these spectacular moments. No matter what I was filming birthday parties, plays, school trips, and just funny things this camcorder always delivered the best and most amazing picture quality. This is probably one of the best you'll find before moving on to high definintion.
Jerry Feinsod's Review from Flushing, New York: - March 6, 2007
The Canon DC50 represents a small, historic moment, as it represents not only the top DVD camcorder for 2007, but also as the flagship model for the entire consumer line. With MiniDV quickly ebbing, and little hope of the Optura line making a comeback, the DC50 has a lot of weight to bear. A first look yields positive signs: a 1/2.7” CCD, optical image stabilization, 10x optical zoom, a new quick start feature, and a smarter battery design than last year (with room for expansion). Last year’s DC40, which this camcorder replaces, turned out a good performance, but was bested by Panasonic’s VDR-D300 and its fantastic performance/manual control suite one-two punch. This year Canon has rebounded with an improved imager and aspirations for best standard def DVD camcorder overall.
