Review: Well where do I begin? After a month of use, the battery stopped working. Contacted Canon via email. They replied battery is not under warranty. Would you like to buy another one? Please.

6 months later. I started transferring video to my computer only to find out this stupid camera eats tapes. I have lost two tapes so far. One of them was my son's birth!!!!

The eating tapes issue is a major problem with this unit. They have known about it and continue to ignore it. Do a search on "zr40 tape problems" to see what I am talking about. There are even more results on sister product, zr10. I will never buy a product from Canon again. They are idiots for doing this to their customers.

Review: Well, I recently purchased a Canon ZR40 at J&R, not amazon, too expensive. Anyway, this is a great camcorder. It does everything possible for the price. The digtal effects are great and the playback is great, too. The only very minor problem is that it has a short battery life. You have to recharge it a lot, but it's really fast to recharge. GREAT CAMCORDER!!!!!!J&R, thanks.
