"Avoid at all costs"
What I like:
35x optical zoom, DV input, megapixel
What I don't like:
Extreme motor noise
Review:
I will make this short and painless.
The motor noise on this camera is so loud that it will ruin every movie you tape. Avoid this bad product.
I won't even write about the picture quality since it really does not matter when the sound is utterly useless.
Do a search for "motor noise canon zr850" (zr850=md160)
or "motor noise canon md160"

Has plenty of features for a budget camcorder, but its video quality isn't particularly impressive
