Ok for first camcorder
on May 9, 2009
Posted by: cora
from Corona, CA
Bought in 2007, or 18 months ago. Use with TV and PC and found not difficult with TV. Cannot rate ability to edit since have not tried. Can use with other than Canon DVDs with no problem. Customer service repaired broken lens cover quickly & satisfactoriy. Only problem, that I have and resent is that mini SD card is no longer available, so cannot replace. So have to use another camera to get still photos which is what I used it for. Obsolete technology after a year and a half?
Pros: Compact Design, excellent image quality, Easy TV Connectivity, Accurate, Vivid Colors, Great sound/audio, Ergonomic/comfortable to hold
Cons: Difficult Computer Connectivity, Short battery life, Difficult to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

DC 220 HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AND WHEN I MOVED I MISPLACED THE CABLES. NOT ABLE TO FIND POWER CABLE AND DOWNLOAD CABLE ON THIS SITE. THE CAMERA IS NOW JUST A PAPERWEIGHT
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good, but bad

Records nicely and works well overall, but it records in a VOB format which is an absolute nightmare. Why, why, why would you use this format?!
Don't expect to get it to work with IMovie, Final Cut, or any other real editing software for Mac. You can buy a format changer, but it is a huge pain, it takes forever and sometimes doesn't work correctly. I liked this camera a lot until I tried to use it with my Mac. Even trying to use it with my PC was a challenge and the results were very mixed. If you don't plan to interface with a computer, it's a great deal. If you do, buy a different camera.

Why it does not work with any dvd discs?
on April 22, 2009

I bought this camera and used it in three occasions with the three dvd discs that were included without any problems (except the fact that I could not really work with in my PC), but later I found out that it does work just with canon dvd discs that is not available in the market, was a mistake to do not consider this point when buying it.
Now that I have a baby and need to share these happy moments with family and friends, I'm looking to buy a nother camcorder and regret very much my choice. Was Bad.
