 Owned this camera for over 2 years now... May 22, 2009
I purchased it for a family vacation to Disney World for Christmas in 2007. I wanted something that was small enough to fit inside a handbag or backpack, with exceptional quality in taking video as well. This camcorder was it.
I found that the layout of the buttons make this camera easy to work using just one hand. And it's very user friendly in every way.
I also enjoy the ability to take video in both regular and wide screen. With flat screen TV's all wide screen now, home videos from this camera look awesome when recorded on the wide screen setting, and yet if your making a video for someone you know has a regular square TV set, you can still create videos in the regular setting for them as well.
On our trip to Disney, one of the most colorful videos ended up being one we took at night. It was a beautiful parade of lights and characters and it turned out stunning when taken with this camcorder.
This camcorder may be compact, but don't let that fool you, it takes great video!
Awsome March 11, 2009
Wow very cool video camera. this is my fist video camera but I think it will be my only video camera!
Why does Toyzz charge so much? January 15, 2009
Wow why is Toyzz trying to sell this one for $ 811.00 ? This camera is available elsewhere for around $ 350.00
 Please DON'T buy this camcorder ..you will regret it December 11, 2008
We purchased this miniDV camcorder 2 years ago online from Amazon.com. I had done a fair amount of research on the selection. I also work for a major market research firm that covers consumer electronics. At my disposal are very smart people who track the size, technologies and trends within the consumer electronics markets.
Before purchasing the Elura 100 I asked our analyst who follows the consumer photography market, if the product is a good why to buy. He said it is and so I bought it. I have since learned that he has not been satisfied with his either. He had the same experience with Canon customer support which is basically, send to the repair facility in NJ and wait. As it is a consumer electronics device and this is an exceptionally aggressive marketplace, they simply cannot afford to put enough resources to make repair a decent experience. We had used the camera less than 10 times in two years before it broke, the repair should not be needed in the first place.
The circumstance for the malfunction is bizarre. I was filming my daughter at a poetry recital. One moment it would accept a tape, the next it would not. I tried everything including reseting the camera as the Canon rep suggested. This involves removing both batteries, presumably to completely disconnect all power to the unit, and then re-installing them. I did this on several occassions to no avail.
Try to avoid this one if can!
A good choice May 15, 2008
This camera is everything I hoped it would be. I wanted a mini-dv tape format, and there is a dwindling number of those available. I wanted it to include a port for converting my analog videos to digital, and I wanted an external-mic port. Few current camcorders in the under-$400 price range contain these options. The Elura met all these criteria, but I had concerns about its low-light capabilities, since I film a lot of family events indoors. I also had concerns from reviews that slammed it for having a high amount of motor noise.
I'm pleased with the quality of the Elura's low-light images. As for motor noise, my experience for comparison was only with a large VHS format camcorder; it had no problem with motor noise. The motor sound of the Elura 100, while alarmingly noticeable next to my ear when recording in quiet settings, is not a significant problem on the recordings. It might be a factor if it were recording a silent scene in a still room, but it has not hurt the sound in any of the situations I have yet used it.
The manual is organized pretty well, and is usually quite clear in giving instructions.
CONS:
Reviewers sometimes mentioned the flimsy port covers, and I have to agree. Everyone who handles my camcorder is instructed to deal very gently with the port covers, and they have held up so far.
The toggle switch for selecting menu options is quite short; it takes a more precise touch than others I tried, but after extra time practicing with it, the user can navigate quickly among the options.
The hand strap is positioned so that the camera flops sideways in the hand if I release my grip on it. It should rest more stably in the hand.
