Much needed DV 6mm had some old 6 mm tapes to view. Works great as far for the sd card and 6mm tape compartment. But it seems the AV out port does not work when I tried it with my cable. Will try another cable to see if that’s the issue.

Today I finally got time to open the package of the camcorder I purchased. However, I don't know if it works because a power cord was not provided. Now I must go on a search to find a powercord, so I am not satisfied with this buying experience. I am concerned with how many powercords I will need to buy and return before I find the right one. Also I am concerned about the status of the battery this camcorder came with. I am feeling ripped off! Regarding the questions listed above I cannot answer the first two because the camcorder doesn't work.

This is a great camera. Very portable size, nice to hold in the hand. I have to use newer MiniDV tapes for the best quality, as old/used ones occasionally have pixelation after importing to my computer via firewire. Otherwise, this is a great camera, and the audio quality is very good due to the dual stereo microphones. This camera is very simple to operate, and I am very pleased with it overall.
I've used this camera in the past for micro, macro, landscape and portrait shots. The image stabilizer works really well to reduce blur, even at distant and high zoom shots. The lens captures more area, allowing me to forgo using a wide angle lens. Despite low pixelation, I've had good results enlarging images withoout losing too much sharpness. You can't do too much better under $500 for a camera of this quality. Moreover, my current camera (Sony) is very automated and intrusive, turning on annoying features I didn't want to use. The ZR cameras have some of the same features, but they don't auto run and take over your photo shoot.
The Canon Vixia HF 200 is my second camcorder but my first digital camera. It is amazingly small and lightweight -- but what is astounding is the ability to record several hours of video and/or photos on the tiny flashcard! The picture details, color reproduction, and sound fidelity are superb. There are enough functions to satisfy the most dedicated camera buff -- or even professional -- dealing with everything from manual exposure controls to adjustments for lighting,activities,various digital effects, and on and on. I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking for an affordable precision instrument.
