Takes great movies and still pictures(still pictures are 5MP quality too) Computer software a little difficult to use at first. But play around with it about 10 minutes and you should be fine. Menus are very similar to other canon products I have used. If you have small hands, holding the camcorder may be a little difficult due to the strap placement. from Bhphotovideo.com "If you can get past the DC50's sticker shock, you'll find a very nice, simple DVD camcorder that can produce some surprisingly good snapshots." from Cnet.com If you can get past the DC50's sticker shock, you'll find a very nice, simple DVD camcorder that can produce some surprisingly good snapshots. from Cnet.com "The DC50 isn't the most intuitive camcorder, but its video and photo quality can't be beat." from PCworldCanada.com I love that I could just record and put it in the dvd player and watch it. Also a dvd-rw disc is a plus if you have a recorder - once your done you could re-use the disc again. from Circuitcity.com This is my first DVD cam and I love it. The quality of video is great and the stills are fantastic. from Circuitcity.com I sell camcorders and cameras for a living. I've used and sold about 25 current camcorders and 50 cameras. I purchased the DC50 because Canon has the best lenses and image processors in the business. from Amazon.com The camera is not compatible with Vista, meaning you can't plug the camera directly into your computer. Also, the software the camera comes with (Sonic MyDVD) isn't compatible either, so you won't be able to edit the video or even copy to your hard-drive. Maybe it's more fair to say don't buy Vista, but since Canon technical support was unapologetic and un-helpful, I'm not going to give them the benefit of the doubt. from Amazon.com After researching on many similar camcorders from different manufacturers, I purchased DC50. What a great choice !!! from Amazon.com The size is small and compact. The color view finder is an added bonus over some of the camcorders I reviewed. The DVD / DVD-R media storage makes the video easy to store, especially if you don't want to tie up memory on your computer. Cons: As in the Canon digital camera I purchased several years ago, the operating manual leaves a lot to be desired. from Newegg.com
