Good: Optical zoom
Bad: Motor noise
Comment: The motor noise completely annoyed me, I returned this product as a result. I was taping my children playing and although the noise when recording wasn't too bad, when I played it back on the television it was really awful. Consider another brand please do yourself a favour and don't spend money on Canon camcorders, check motor noise on Canon on Google and there are more stories like mine out there.

Good: Optical zoom is great, also widescreen mode
Bad: Very noisy on playback
Comment: This camera is noisy when you record, the same as most mini DVs, however, where it falls down is on playback, it is very noisy - a consistant humming noise is heard when you are watching what you have taped on TV. I taped my children playing and then watched it back on the TV; the noise ruined it for me. I have returned my camcorder for a refund and hope to get a different one which records normal sounds only. I just thought others should be warned before they spend their money.

Good: Design, features
Bad: Drive motor noise!
Comment: Everything about this camcorder promised to be a great tool for the amateur user, but when I purchased it (despite information that Canon has problems with its drive motor noise in earlier series) I was disappointed with this. The camera has great handling, LCD and functionality, but when I started to record the awful motor noise ruined everything. If there is no outside sounds when recording (silence in the room when recording my baby son sleeping for example) the camcorder records this motor noise. Unacceptable! I returned it.
