 Disappointed Dec 26, 2005
By K. E. Connors
I took a chance on a Canon, in part because of Sony's lengthy rap sheet of offenses against its customers, in part because a lot of people really seem to like their products. Up to this point I've used a miniDV Sony purchased in 2000. Unfortunately, my gamble with Canon didn't pay off. Two major problems:
1) There is a noticeable scraping noise every 5 seconds as it engages the DVD drive, which the microphone picks up unfailingly in quiet situations. (Imagine filming your sleeping newborn and noticing during playback a sound much like mice hard at work just off camera.)
2) It was hot to the touch within minutes of being powered up, i.e. before I finished recording sample footage. (I was using the AC adapter, not the battery.)
In case it is relevant, here is what pg. 124 of the instruction manual says:
"Problem: The disc's rotation can be faintly heard. Solution: The disc is activated from time to time. This is not a malfunction.
Problem: Occasionally the operation sound can be heard. Solution: The disc is activated from time to time. This is not a malfunction.
Problem: Pressing the start/stop button will not start recording. Solution: The camcorder has exceeded its operational temperature. Disconnect the compact power adapter and remove the battery pack and let the camcorder cool down before resuming use."
I didn't buy it from Amazon.com (I didn't want to wait for it to ship over the holidays) & I'm not looking forward to paying a restocking fee to return a "not malfunctioning" but basically unusable product.
P.S. The two stars I gave it are for its compact size and cool appearance. Better luck next time on the rest.

 Works Great! Nov 28, 2005
By Camera Nut
I thought I would try this camcorder as I have used Canon products before and have always liked them. The controls seem easy to follow. I spent some time reading the book and playing with the camcorder getting used to how the controls work. Video playback quality was very good. I made some test videos on mini DVD-RW disks and loaded them onto my computer and burned them to regular-sized DVD's. Everything worked great. Overall, I am very pleased with this camcorder.

 Canon DC20 Jan 16, 2006
By hinabucket
Size of camcorder is awesome and best sellng point. It's also pretty to use.
Video is excellent when shooting outside, and inside with plenty of light.
Video is only average when indoor lighting is moderate to fair.
Battery life is OK - about what you find on other camcorders in this category.
Stay away from Memorex disks. Only getting 14 minutes (instead of 20) when shooting in highest mode. Have heard similar complaints from a Sony camcorder owner.

 Heat up May 29, 2006
By florida90
The camera does heat up when attached to the charger.I complained to Cannon support about the camera getting hot enough to the point that you cannot touch it.
They didnt know anyhting about it (even though the manual that came in the box does point out issues with reaching optimal temperature).
I returned it after a week.
Although I should say that it is a very slim/light camera and does have a superb video quality.
If it wasnt for the battery/charging I would have kept it

Very user friendly Jan 12, 2007
By Suresh Puttaswamy
Pros:
1.Camcorder is very easy to operate.
2.Has most of the option to capture video/photo - Auto, pre-progrmmed.
3.Has manual control to explore more.
4.Video quality is excellent and can be viewed in 21" Screen with clear picture.
Cons:
1. Battery life is less if you use display and zoom
2. The Roxio software gives problem while downloading. So better go for some other software. Even i am searching for the suitable software.
3.As the picture is only a 2MP, it is not must suitable for photos. but reasonable quality can be achieved with 2MP.
