Title: Compact and Economical ZR25MC Leaves Much To Be Desired
Review: When used as a camcorder, the image quality is quite good. And overall, it's quite easy to use. The following drawbacks, however, are noteworthy: 1. The built-in microphone sits too close to the tape deck and unless you use an external microphone, you will record into your video a constant annoying whirl/winding/humming noise that is *very* noticeable -- the whirling of the tape deck. 2. Digital still image quality is simply bad. Very bad. Furthermore, unless you have a separate MultiMedia Card reader, there is no way to transfer your digital still images to your computer as an image file. You would have to "playback" the digital still via the IEEE 1394 "FireWire" interface and capture it there. This product is very unsuitable for use as a digital camera. The strengths of this product: (a) relatively compact design, (b) light weight, (c) comparatively cheap. Bottom line: I will not choose to buy this product again nor recommend it to others.
