franlob from CA Member Since: Jan 2008 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	camcorder with 5 megapixel still camera Strengths: 5 megapixel still camera with many photo options. Remote helps navigate menus. Image stabilization feature. Weaknesses: High sticker price for standard-definition camcorder. Hard to understand manual and software. Summary: What makes the Canon DC50 unique is the 5 megapixel still photo capability with many options, including continuous shooting mode. You can record photos on a microSD or on a mini DVD. The camcorder fits comfortably in the hand. The viewfinder sits back, away from your face, and can be angled for a better view. The remote option is a helpful alternative to using the joystick. As a first-time camcorder user, I am finding it difficult to learn how to use it without outside help: the manual and software instructions are hard to follow. On camcorder playback, the video images and colors looked good. I haven't finalized my first disc yet, so I haven't played my video on a DVD player or computer. The DC50 comes with a Canon mini DVD-R. When I went to purchase a mini DVD-RW, I was told that not all brands, such as Sony, will work with the Canon. 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.

polunma Member Since: Mar 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	really slim, good quality Strengths: slim, light, good video quality Weaknesses: unfriendly software, complicated function setting Summary: This camcorder is very slim and record very nice quality of videos, though I find the color saturation is not as good as Canon DSLR. The recording time for a single mini-dvd-r is about 30 minutes, which is enough for making home-videos but not long enough for recording an event. Moreover, the software is not very easy to use, and the function setting of the camcorder needs some time to get used to. 86% of People (18/21) found this review helpful.

Weaknesses: The software is unfriendly, but that is not a big problem. Summary: After researching on many similar camcorders from different manufacturers, I purchased DC50. What a great choice !!! This is my very first camcorder and nothing to complain about; easy to operate. I LOVE IT !!! Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
