"Very poor software included"
Pros: price, size,features
Cons: poor software, no dv cable, no dv mini cassette
Summary: I believe canon had such success with the zr100,zr200 and the zr300 that this camcorder was pushed out the door for the holidays. It doesn't appear that much thought or effort was given to providing the quality software neccessary for the camcorder to be a successful one.
If you update to version 5.5 of the software on the canon web site, you still have nothing new to work with. DV messenger 2 would not download for me. I tryed 3 times. You have to fill out a form, each time that ask for everthing except your shoe size.
I expected more from canon! Now, I have to buy software. Also no Dv cable, for connecting to the computer, or mini DV cassette is included in the package !! What is one to record movies on? The 16mb card that's included.
If canon did't provide the dv cable or the mini Dv cassette to record movies on, there must be a reason. Maybe, So you won't find out how bad the sofware sucks until it's too late!
