Canon has announced three new budget-priced miniDV camcorders, the ZR900, ZR930, and ZR950 at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
High-def camcorders might be gaining in popularity, but you still have plenty of choices if you're not quite ready to make the jump. Canon just announced three new budget-priced, standard-definition miniDV camcorders scheduled to hit stores in the US later this month.
The Canon ZR900, ZR930, and ZR950 are the least expensive models in Canon's upcoming camcorder lineup. The ZR900 features a 680,000-pixel CCD, a 41x zoom lens, and the most modest price tag of the three. The ZR930 upgrades to a full megapixel CCD and a 48x zoom lens, and includes a remote control and microphone terminal. Finally, the ZR950 takes the ZR930's feature set and adds an SDHC card slot and a USB jack, for taking still pictures.
They might not be very complicated, but their simple designs and scant prices help appeal to budget-minded users who just want a quick way to shoot videos. The ZR900, ZR930, and ZR950 have suggested retail prices of US$250, US$270, and US$280. Australian pricing and availability has not yet been released.

GREAT camcorder, I have researched about the model and the Canon ZR930 is the best for having a microphone jack and steady price. Recommended to movie makers and home video recording anywhere!
