I am looking forward to buy a digi cam but due to lack of knowledge Iwant somebody to help me out.
How is this camera? Is it fine to spend $279 for it??
http://smarterdeals.com/Goods.aspx?stxt=... Canon鈥檚 newest ZR model is the Canon ZR 300. Introduced at CES in January 2005, the ZR300 is the top model in a three cam lineup in the entry level consumer camcorder market. Below it in price and options are the Canon ZR200 (Review, Specs, $120.99) and the Canon ZR100 (Review, Specs, $219.95). The ZR300 has a few extra trinkets on board to justify the price; an LED 鈥渁ssist lamp,鈥?the inclusion of an 8MB SD card, an extra 2x in optical zoom power, and a .6x wide angle attachment. However, the biggest improvement with the ZR300 is a big jump in low light performance - an incredibly pleasant surprise. Consumers can pick up the Canon ZR300 with a reputable street price of $429.00 USD.
Video Performance (5.75)
The Canon ZR300 has a 1/6 inch 340K effective pixel imager, with 340K effective pixels for still imaging. The Canon ZR300 has the same CCD and glass as last year鈥檚 ZR90 (Review, Specs, $229), so its performance will be similar. When the ZR300 is switched to 16:9 mode, with the image stabilization switched off, the CCD has 450K effective pixels available for video. Canon has been calling this 鈥渉igh resolution 16:9鈥?mode. Sounds like sneaky strategic marketing to confuse consumers even more in the area of high definition and high resolution. This 16:9 mode can be found on last year鈥檚 Optura 400 (Specs, $999) and 500, Canon鈥檚 premiere matchbox-style camcorders. Type in the camera model on google and then add user opinions |
