(More customer reviews)This is not my first camcorder, but my 3rd.
Its Hi8 recording format beats my previous other VHS-C and 8mm gear.
Its optical system (22X zoom and large lens), allowing night-time low lux shots, has a surprising level of quality for its price. The Li-Ion battery and separate AC charger on international norm (takes 110-240 V) are lightweight but allow over 2 hours of shooting, ( and even if you switch on permanently the built-in torch, it's still over 1 hour). There is no LCD screen, but this is no big loss for me as I did not want one, due to their voracious power consumption. The color viewfinder with its crisp and bright image compensate for this.
Besides, I do most of my video editing on my PC.For those who don't, it has a lot of predefined titles, shooting and transition modes, accessible in an easy to navigate menu.
Most of my shooting situations are family events, so the 800X zoom will rarely be solicited, (therefore there's no need for an image stabilizer either)
There are 2 big bonus, in my view : first is the off-center focusing (with a joystick tracking if needed) ; second is TV playback mode in PAL, required for most countries outside of US and Japan, so that I can immediately show my European friends the footage taken on *their* TV sets.
I wanted a easy-to-use, quick-to-shoot camcorder, which would replace my digital cam (for still shots) and would at the same time let me record more than 1 hour of video at a good definition and framerate (not the ridiculous postage stamp format), since it's now easy to transfer to a PC (via my TV board) and re-encode it into MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 and burn a VCD. I wanted it to weight no more than a small digital cam, battery included, and I wanted to spend as little money on it as possible.
This cute, compact, Canon ES75 meets these well-defined needs, and the surprise bonus is Canon quality for this "toy" price.

Hi8 technology has been ignored lately because of the digital revolution, but price-conscious buyers can still find great picture quality and feature-laden Hi8 camcorders, and the Canon ES75 is no exception. Some of its many features include a color viewfinder, built-in video light, time base corrector for a more accurate picture, and digital effects such as art, black and white, sepia, negative, and 16:9 screen ratio. There are also custom keys where you can set the most used or favorite functions close to your fingers.
Lens The optical zoom has a power of 22x and a digital zoom of 800x. The digital zoom works by electronically enhancing the optical image and comes in handy for objects far away. The autofocus and autoexposure functions keep you concentrated on the action rather than on trying to find the ideal setting for each moment. For greater control you can use the focus controller and direct the camera to focus on an off-center subject. The ES75 has programmed autoexposure settings to match a variety of shooting situations: auto, sports, portrait, spotlight, and sand and snow.
Inputs and Outputs The standard RCA input-output and cable are included so you can hook the camcorder to a TV for convenient viewing or a VCR for dubbing to regular VHS.
Contents This package contains the ES75 camcorder, battery pack (model BP-911K), shoulder strap, power adapter (model CA-550K), and AV cable.
