...i very nearly bought the Canon 250i)
The main difference between this camcorder and the 250i is the price, where the MV 750i is about £400-500 and the MVX250i ranges about £600-650. Notice the latter has an 'X' in its model number which means it is a 'Megapixel' camcorder; for normal consumers this simply means it has over 1024 million pixels whereas the 750i has 800,00 pixels on the CCD screen (the pivoting screen to look at instaed of looking ... ...with absolutely no difference in the picture quality!

Faring far better than most for the same price, the 750i has a 22x Optical zoom and 440x digital zoom.

If you love surprise packages, you'll love this!! This model of Digital Camcorder somehow manages to look bigger on screen than it actually is. Upon opening the box i was delighted to find a very compact camcorder! (This was the reason why i very nearly bought the Canon 250i) The main difference between this camcorder and the 250i is the price, where the MV 750i is about £400-500 and the MVX250i ranges about £600-650. Notice the latter has an 'X' in its model number which means it is a 'Megapixel' camcorder; for normal consumers this simply means it has over 1024 million pixels whereas the 750i has 800,00 pixels on the CCD screen (the pivoting screen to look at instaed of looking through the viewfinder.) The 750i is about £150 cheaper with absolutely no difference in the picture quality! (I tested in the shops first.)
Faring far better than most for the same price, the 750i has a 22x Optical zoom and 440x digital zoom. When buying, disregard the digital zoom- all it does is take the original picture/frame and enlarge it digitally therefore pixelising the image and reducing the quality. As this camcorder has 22x optical zoom (the highest optical zoom in production is about 24x) it zooms clearly and in great detail. I found this feature a main selling point as nearly all of Sony's camcorders in the price range up to £900, only had 10-12x optical zoom. There is a choice of SD card (allows you to transfer images/frames onto computer and with a cable supplied to do this) or DV tape for recording. The tape allows playback on the camcorder itself or onto your T.V. with the included SCART connections and through the AV socket on the camcorder There is also a remote control, DV in and out and an S-video socket which supposedly improves the video quality when connected to other home peripherals, although there is no visable improvement really.
Flash is not included in the package although there is a hot shoe for an attachment. 0 lux allows night mode, which allows filming in the dark. It doesn't make the objects in the dark any brighter, just films what the naked eye would see and not complete darkness as a normal camera would photograph. Another feature that many other camcorders failed to include is the webcam option whilst connected to an internet computer, great image quality!!
To avoid clutter on the design of the 750i, some of the buttons are located behind the opened CCD screen. This is fine as these are buttons people would only be occasionally used and didn't inconvenience me in any way. Ergonomically it is very easy to use, the zoom is at your fingertips and the record button is placed perfectly for no re-adjusting when following the action. This is a new model, updating on the MV 600 and 700 range with all the latest technology and improvements. I have been using this camera non-stop since i got it a few days ago, and have encountered no problems and find it extremely easy to use. The battery life is quite short(60mins) although there are several longer lasting batteries available to buy seperately. I spent a long time comparing it to other camcorders beforehand and found it to be the best for value for money, my only worry was the size and design being bypassed in order to include as many features as possible. When i got the 750i in my hands, i saw this was not the case.
The extras included in the package vary from shop to shop, but all the cables and neccesities to get started are included including an 8mb SD and excluding a mini DV tape. The manuals make very easy reading and there are a lot of diagrams to help.
It is worth mentioning that this is a bottom-loading model, making it impossible to change tapes whilst on a tri-pod.
Advantages: Good price, picture quality and software Disadvantages: Feature changing complex, not ideal views in bright light
I have had four previous camcorders but this is my first digital camcorder and - wow - the quality of the still photos I have taken on my new MV570i
are just fantastic and stand out like 3D when displayed on my TV or PC monitor. The installation of the software supplied was a (no effort) dream with everything being found by my windows XP system.
I purchased an extra battery to give me an extra 6 hours of operation but have so far not had to use ... ...mins and can be charged at any point without the need to discharge the battery first.
Although it is very easy to use as a point and shoot camcorder/camera, the only thing I feel is a slight disadvantage is the complex operation to include any of the numerous facilities such as changing from one type of fader effect to another and if speed of scene capture is of the essence such as at a sports day event then it would be almost impossible to use ...

Advantages: A good first camcorder, easy to use, wide range of features Disadvantages: Not good amateur film competitions
The features of this camcorder is available on various websites and so I won't go into the hassle of droning on about it's features - as it's all technically too boring and complicated - if you're interested you can always look it up and you'll know what you're doing anyway. Rather, i will talk about what it's like to use this camcorder. If you're a budding photographer, forget this - as the print out will not be good - the pictures taken will only ... ...If you're a budding movie maker - it's probably not a good one to start off with - especially if you're going to get technical because you will only be able to transfer onto VHS from mini DV or onto a computer screen. If you want to shoot stuff for festivals or competitions then the quality of the product won't be good enough when you need to transfer to the appropriate format for showing and exhibition.
As a family camcorder and a complete beginner ...

Advantages: Great outside video footage. Disadvantages: Terrible lower light (indoors) video quality. Tape mechanism noise clearly audible on recording.
I bought the Canon MV750i camcorder as a replacement for a broken 4 year old Panasonic miniDV and was very disappointed, so much so that I returned it and got a refund. Outside footage is great, especially the colour reproduction, when compared to my old camcorder. But indoors in lower light conditions (e.g. a living room, during daytime with the lights on) this camcorder really struggles. Video is very grainy, colours are washed out, autofocus struggles ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Canon MV 750i"
Advantages: Simple, cheap Disadvantages: battery life, no firewire lead included.
When I was looking for a camcorder I looked at the whole CanonMV7xxx range from the MV750i right down to this one.
All through the range they use the same sensors to record the image (so same image quality) but the higher models have lots of features that I just don't need.
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 ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Canon MV 700
Advantages: Small, Light, Cheap and full of features that the expensive cameras have. Disadvantages: Does not have a DV Input
Having bought my last camcorder 15 years ago and also the fact that when you held it on your shoulder it felt like you were carrying a sack of potatoes I decided it was time to go out and buy a new one.
I went to my local dixons and had a look at the cameras they had on display and decided to go for a Mini DV camcorder as I liked the idea of linking the camera up with the computer which would allow me to edit my little home masterpieces! Move over Steven Spielberg!!
While I was in the process of looking my friend had been out and bought one. I had a good look at it (CanonMV450i). It was very small and looked perfect but I was quite taken aback when I was told it was £750. I decided it was too expensive for me.
So I came on ciao and had a look around and eventually found one, which, had the features that I wanted, and one that ...

Built on Canon's heritage of precision optics, the MV750i is not only effortless to operate, 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 MV750i 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 and awaiting the more adventurous is a generously specified camcorder with a raft of advanced features. These start with a remarkably high ratio 22x optical / 440x combined zoom so you will never be far from the action. Shooting in low light conditions is no problem thanks to 'Night Mode'. 'Super Night Mode' uses a powerful LED light source so you can even capture footage in complete darkness. A new Night+ mode allows you to turn the LED on and off whilst shooting. The MV750i 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. Capture digital still images with 'Progressive Photo System' technology. The MV750i gives you the ability to capture stills whilst shooting video footage, and can even store these direct to either MMC or SD memory cards. A mechanical shutter provides true digital still camera functionality, eliminating the blur that plagues conventional camcorders. The vendor independent PictBridge standard is supported, allowing for PC-less direct printing to any PictBridge compatible printer. Motion-JPEG files record direct to either MMC or SD memory cards for easy Internet sharing. Up to 60 minutes of either QVGA or QQVGA formats can be recorded straight to card or copied to card from DV tape. An Analog-In and A/D converter are included.
