We bought this camcorder to document the lives of our children. So far we've had no distress. It takes a reasonably clear video and we really like the zoom. I've been a fan of Canon since my ancient AE-1 in high school so we knew we weren't going to be disappointed. I read the other reviews and wanted to make a clarification: This camcorder (DC410) does NOT have a USB connection to the computer. There's a jack for a microphone and for AV out. The av out can go to a TV or to a computer if you have the right setup but will not connect to the average computer. This didn't really bother me since I never plotted on storing terabytes of video on the laptop!
The DC410 is very simple to use if you spend a small time reading the instructions. You might want to get an extra battery, I was lucky since it uses the same one as my digital camera (Rebel XTi). |
Nice camcorder for its price range

| Before buying a camcorder (1st camcorder buy in 17 years) I checked Consumer Reports which listed this model as a Best Buy. Because of the multitude of choices out there, I leaned on them for guidance. But as usual it comes down to Sony and Canon slugging it out with JVC a distand third. For me, quality of results, affordability, ease of use and features are vital in the order listed. This camcorder seems to strike a reasonable balance (at least for me) on these features. I was able to become honestly proficient in the operation of this camera within 1 hour and am pleased with image stabilization, audio and video quality. Low light level video is grainy but that is typical of cameras in this price range (<300.00). I was real close to purchasing one of the Sony offerings until I read the CR review. I bought this camera kit on Black Friday for 200.00 and it included a Canon bag and 5 DVD's. Some have complained about lack of USB support but its not hard to copy the DVD to your hard drive and convert the Codec to JPEG. I would suggest using the following conversion software: [...]. Not all work but this one does. Also, do not use Memorex, or Sony DVD-RW discs. Maxell works fine. I would agree that Flash Drive Camcorders are simpler to load to a PC, but its also very convenient to shoot a disc and immediately load it into a DVD player as this does. The Hybrids are nice but I suspect they have sacrified other elements to allow both formats in the same package for a low price. Overall I am pleased with my buy. One more thing, when you budget for a camcorder and you are reasonably serious about your buy, keep in mind that you will want a bag huge enough to hold accessories including your digital camera, a light for in-door shooting, extra discs, video editing software, extra batteries and a charger. This can all run 150 to 200 in addition to your initial camcorder buy. |

| Not sure what the other reviewer is talking about, but I have this camera and it certainly comes with a USB port and cable. It is very simple to use and takes fantastic pictures. |
Well worth the money

| Nice small camera. For the money it is one of the best that could be bought. It isn't hight definition but the picture quality is fantastic for standard definition. |
Picture quality was very clear and smooth

| We bought this camcorder after considering quite a few other models. It seemed to have all the benefits of a compact camera and I liked the thought of no memory cards to transfer data. Our daughter's first child's birth was something we wanted to keep forever. Unfortunately, the camera and camera bag were left in a parking lot, never to be seen again. A heartbreaking consequence as the disk contained those precious moments. The disks that come with the camera are for permanent recording, so I suggest that you invest in the read-write-edit disks so you can edit your recordings. Also, do yourself a favor and upload your recordings to your computer as soon as possible, just in case the camera is lost; or remove the disk completely and place it in the disk case, away from the camera. I never had the opportunity to use the camera, so I can not confirm or deny the assets to the Canon DC410, but I like the products and it appeared to be a quality unit. I guess we are just back to using our 12-yr. ancient Canon camcorder again. Oh well, so much for new technology. The ancient one still works fine! |
