CNET Review
The Good: Wide-screen LCD; easy-to-use controls; built-in lens cover; above-average color reproduction; 25X optical zoom; plenty of manual controls; accepts add-on lenses and filters; low price.
The Bad: No accessory shoe or microphone input; bottom-loading tape compartment; grainy, low-resolution still photos; not enough stabilization at maximum zoom; poor low-light performance.
The Bottom Line: Stick with well-lit environments and you're sure to like the Canon ZR600, a low-priced, feature-rich camcorder.
