The ZR100 is fairly easy to use. It provides an easy mode button which, upon engagement, surrenders all image control decisions over to the camcorder. The camcorder’s adjustments are fairly swift and accurate. Novice users can put more emphasis on shot composition rather than image quality control decisions. For those who want to tweak the image qualities, the camcorder does offer

respectable manual control options, most notably the manual shutter speed.

Impress even the most die-hard movie aficionado with the ZR100's high-resolution 16:9 widescreen recording mode. Typically reserved for more expensive camcorder models, the 16:9 widescreen feature allows you to record true widescreen videos and photos for playback on home theatre systems. For enhanced accessibility, a Widescreen Button makes it easy to switch from the standard 4:3 mode to 16:9 Widescreen Mode. You'll also see exactly what you are shooting thanks to the 2.4-inch LCD screen's letterbox-style display.

All in all, the Canon ZR100 packs a lot of punch in a remarkably small unit. The ZR100 delivers Canon’s legendary quality optics with amazingly large zoom magnification capabilities ,better BP-511 battery and decent low light capabilities.
