Advantages: Good quality, easy to use Disadvantages: Low battery life, pricey accessories
--Overview and Spec--
The Canon MV890 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 ... ...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' - Play(back), Off, Camera. It's as simple as that, and they are easy to access when you're holding it. There's a zoom lever ...

Advantages: Small, Compact, Widescreen Disadvantages: No Photo Capture, No MiniDV Tape Or PC Cable Supplied, No Night Mode
I received this not long ago and I haven't regretted it. It's great for the money and it's really lightweight. Being able to film in widescreen is also a great advantage especially with it being so common place nowadays. It also has lots of shooting modes built in but I haven't tried them all yet.
There isn't much I can say bad about it either. It doesn't have a built in photo capture but from what I've read these images aren't very good quality. ... ...to pay more for that and the battery supplied does not last very long. But you can pick up better third-party ones for less than £6 each!
Also if you want a camera with an infra-red night mode this does not include it. The night mode should not be confused with an infra-red light.
Other than that I think its a great buy and highly recommend it! ...

Advantages: Simple. Disadvantages: Not great looking.
The Canon MV 890 is a nice, little and easy to use camcorder for either beginners or somebody who needs a cheap camcorder. Both light weight and easy to operate I often take this camecorder with me when looking at filming locations before shooting the actual footage in better quality. Although it looks O.K from some angles, the side in which you load the mini DV is a zone of cheap plastic nightmares. Besides that there isnt anything to complain about, ...

...very little spare cash. The Canon MV 890 was the cheapest, although I did have to purchase the bag and tapes seperately. I charged it immediately and used it for the first time that evening. After reading through the easy to follow instructions, I familiarised myself and found this very simple (my 5 yr old would probably have minimal trouble working it). Overall, it's not a bad little camera but if I had had an extra £50.00 I would have got a much ...
