CNET Editors' Review
The good: Lightweight; easy to use; decent battery life; can be used as a Webcam.
The bad: Average video quality; limited software bundle.
The bottom line: A good but undistinguished home-movie camcorder for people on a budget.

Editor's note: We have changed the rating in this review to reflect recent changes in our rating scale. Click here to find out more. The Canon Elura 70 looks very similar to to the rest of the company's MiniDV line. Weighing just 1.1 pounds, it's very easy to carry around all day--if you wear baggy hip-hop shorts, you can even fit it in your pocket. The controls are logically organized, and the tape loads into the compartment from the top, so you can switch tapes while the Elura is mounted on a tripod. Provided you don't use a tripod with a large platform, you might be able to access the SD card slot as well.

Cons When I used for indoor video and still, it gave dark pictures. Pictures were blurred and horrible in low-light situations. The same recordings viewed on the TV looked still darker.The camcorder was used in the same manner as described in the user's manual
