For example, I don't need the camcorder to take photo's and store them on an SD card, especially as they are at around 1Mega pixel anyway. Absolutely pointless, especially when I have a decent digital camera anyway! DV in and out, could be useful for some, however I brought a device last year (VideOH by Adaptec) that allows me to connect my VCR to my PC to record VHS digitally if necessary. The MV700 has low light setting, the MV750i goes one better and a super night mode. Another unneccessary feature as low light is adequate. Slowing the shutter down any further is going to make filming moving objects very difficuly.
My only real gripe is that it did not come with a fire wire lead, and for those of you with PC that do not have firewire as standard you will have to buy and PCI adapter to plug into your PC so you can use this camcorder as it does not come with USB connectivity.
It does not come with a remote control. Before I brought the camera I wondered if this was going to be a problem so I asked some of my colleague who already have camcorders what they think of the remotes that came with theirs. All of them said they never used it, my mind was put at ease! From what I could make out the remote would only be used when playing back through a TV. AS I intend to put my footage to DVD after editing I figured I wouldn't be boring poeple with a whole days unedited footage to watch!
The camcorder is very easy to use, I defy anyone to get confused with it! There is a little switch on the back which puts it into advanced mode. This enables some extra menu's to be activated so things such a low light settings, sport scenes etc, can be utilised. Along with all the single sensor camcorders the image quality is only so good, but it is good compared with other single sensor camcorders. If you want superb image quality get one of the 3 sensor cameras, which are now coming down in price.
I brought the camera for £230 from eBuyer.com, which I think is a bargain considering the MV750i can be brought for £350, but has lots of feature that I just do not need.
Please remember to edit your footage before boring others though!

Advantages: Small, easy to use, amazing zoom Disadvantages: Lacks one or two features
The MV700 was my first ever cam corder, and quite honestly, it is just amazing for a beginners camera for its price. Before i get onto its advantages, there is one important point that has to be made. This camera does not have a memory card reader, it is not a digital cam corder. It requires DV tapes, and if you are looking to edit the videos on a computer you require a firewire card. This was the one piece of information that i could not find anywhere, ... ...ever cam corder. But at the same time, for the price this camera costs, it is by far one of the best in its price catagory. Any old firewire card can be picked up for £15 at dixons, and can be easily fitted into a pc with a free PCI slot, and as soon as you have one of those, (and some DV tapes as these do not come with the camera) you are set to start your only little documentary.
The features on this camera are while pretty basic, quite plentyiful. ...

Advantages: Cheap, Good Quality Disadvantages: Low battery life, expensive media
I recently bought this camcorder from the Internet because it was the most reasonably priced model from a well known brand. I was not disappointed at all. It is very easy to use - I did not even have to read the instructions manual to take my first clip - however the battery life is too short especially when I use the LCD. Long life batteries are available but i feel that these should be part of the standard package anyway. Although nothing to do ... ...also very expenseive. The camcorder itself is very light and small and therefore very easy to carry. There is no protective case on the lense which means that you have to be extra careful not to scratch the lense. It has hundreds of features which I will most probably never use. It comes with a standard one year manufacturers warranty. All in all a great deal for the price. ...

It's a great colour, it's got everything you need to have on a camcorder and it's totally amazing, if your going for a camcorder, go for the canon MV300!

So all in all, this camcorder is the best ever, and will probably last for many years to come! ...

Advantages: Small, versatile and easy to use Disadvantages: No memory card, need to check our computer for DV terminal
Because our old analogue Camcorder was dying gracefully we found ourselves standing in Comet looking at an array of digital camcorders. How to choose? No knowing a thing about these new fangled things and not wanting to make the wrong choice we asked for assistance.
Now we are not illiterate, but we know little of video editing and special effects. We wanted a camera that was easy to use and gave good quality. This was to be for holiday and home use only and there was little point in paying for something that had a host of features that were no good to us. We bought the CanonMV700i Digital Video Camcorder.
The camera arrived in a bright red box, which had a picture of the camera on the side and details of the functions it included. On opening the box we found it neatly packed with the camera, instruction manuals and various ...

Advantages: Good quality, easy to use Disadvantages: Low battery life, pricey accessories
--Overview and Spec--
The CanonMV890 is a camcorder that boasts such specs as 700x zoom (actually only 22x of this is optical and therefore useful) and widescreen video capture, 16:9 resolution as well as special effects.
--Starting Up and Recording--
Firstly you'll have to charge the battery, which'll probably take a bit longer than usual but is necessary if you don't want a defective battery later on which runs out about half as quickly as you'd expect during important moments.
Inserting a cassette is easy but automated, so you would need to be careful not to force the deck shut as it does it automatically.
You then adjust the 'dioptric lever' which is just to make the camera come into focus, and then you can do the normal stuff like adjusting the strap (which is comfortable for all hand sizes).
The cam only has 3 'modes ...

Manufacturer's product description
Built on Canon's heritage of precision optics, the MV700 is not only the effortless to use, it also has one of the highest zoom ranges of any camcorder in its class. Canon's engineers have always abided by the rule that technology has no purpose unless it can be put to good use. That is why the MV700 camcorder works straight out of the box. You won't need a PhD in systems theory to get started - just turn it on and start shooting. The compact size and slim, ergonomic palm design feels as easy in the hand as it is to use. Buttons controlling all important features fall right beneath your fingertips, and you will be delighted by the wide proportions of the color LCD. Menu navigation is intuitive, uncomplicated and available in 8 languages. Sitting just beneath the surface to await the more adventurous is a generously specified camcorder with a raft of advanced features. A remarkably high ratio 18x optical / 360x combined zoom means you will never be too far from the action, while shooting in low light conditions is no problem thanks to 'Night Mode'. The MV700 camcorder includes Image Stabilization to keep the action steady without a tripod and a 1/6" high resolution CCD sensor for sharp images. The camera features DIGIC DV, a dedicated DV processor that raises the bar on image quality, recreating 'emotional' colors, tones and details to deliver images we humans love and remember: Redder apples, greener grass, bluer skies and warmer and more realistic skin tones. To add interest to video footage, Canon has included a host of creative digital effects. These include Art, Sepia, Monotone, Mosaic, Colors, Mirror, Ball, Cube and Wave. Scene transition options include Auto fade, Wipe fade, Flip fade, Corners fade, Tide fade, Puzzle fade, Beam fade, Zigzag fade and Jump fade.
