Customer Reviews: Please don't buy this P.O.S. We owned this lovely piece of equipment and had to send it in for repairs four times while under warranty. Took six to eight weeks to repair it every time. We had the tape not ejecting problem, the zoom going crazy problem, horizontal lines going across the picture (they never did get that fixed), and then the picture kept turning all red. Finally, it just crapped out and wouldn't turn on at all. I will never buy another Canon camcorder.
works perfectly My Canon Elura 60 MiniDV camcorder works perfectly. I have not had any problems with it. It is easy to use and it's small enough to carry around on vacation. My previous camcorder was also a Canon and I owned it for 10 years with no issues.
CRAP (gave 1 star because it made me put at least 1) Buyer Beware! Do not buy this or any Canon item! The remove the cassette error is for real! If you search the internet under "canon remove the cassette" you will find many, many people with the same complaint! Do not buy this camera! The backing by Canon is atrocious. They will do nothing, but offer to fix at your expense. Mine was fixed and ended up doing the same thing again, as well as the mind of its own zooming issues. You will read all these same things on many reviews/ratings postings around the web. Lemon product and Canon does nothing about it. I will not buy another Canon product and you should not either! I don't care how good their next one is. They didn't back this camcorder or do anything about the NUMEROUS complaints by people!
Clearly a defective unit I have owned it for 3 years and 4 months. Within the first two months, we had to return it for service because it didn't have any picture. I was told the whole lense assembly needed to be replaced. Now it has an eject tape error and the tape won't eject. It makes grinding noises. It has been well cared for. People who give it good reviews haven't owned it very long
"Remove the Cassette" problem Our Elura 60 also has the "Remove the Cassette" problem that other reviewers have posted. Search for this error code and you'll find thousands of pages of frusterated Canon owners and no fix to be found.
