Not a reliable camcorder.......2007-05-07

Out of the box, the Elura 70 is fabulous. Amazing shots, nice 18x optical zoom, and great image stabilization. But after recording about eight tapes, the camera started to reject tapes when insterted. The error message "Remove the cassette" always appeared and the tape ejected immediately. Now the camera is unusable. Each time I put in a brand new tape the camera will start up, spin some wheels, and then stop the wheels, and eject the tape. I have tried an off-the-shelf mini-DV head cleaner, but that didn't work. Please, beware of this camera.

BEWARE CANON ELURA.......2007-02-05

I purchased the Canon Elura 70 and within 3-4 uses, the camcorder started giving me the "remove the cassette" error message and would not accept the tape. Still under warranty, I had to pay almost $200.00 to send it to Canon repair center. Over the next 12 months, I had to send it in again and again for the same problem as well as problems with the still photo button not working and the zoom lever not working and the camcorder zooming on it's own. Each time after the initial repair, I had to pay shipping and handling and insurance at a cost to me of approx. $16-$18.00 to send in the camcorder. After sending in the camcorder 5x over a period of a year and multible complaints and threats...Canon sent me a brand new Canon elura 70 and now the "New" camcorder is in the Canon Repair Center for problems with the Zoom "zooming on it's own", and the still picture button not working, after only having the camcorder for only 4 months. I'm afraid to use the camcorder for any video because it will give me an error message like the other one did. I am currently looking for a new camcorder with a name brand that is not "CANON" As for depending on this camcorder to video my children's life events as I had planned on when I bought it originally....well, they are growing up and I am missing out on videotaping any and all of them....since the camcorder is in the shop again!

Two thumbs down!.......2006-12-31

I am a huge fan of canon and thought they would be reliable with their camcorders as well. This camera lasted for about 1 year... about 10 tapes. Im having the same problems as other users where the tape got caught. I also have problems where the cam zooms by itself with the zoom button internally stuck.

Will cost me 180 to send in. Abosulutely insaine. Stay away from this one and consider something different than Canon.

A Very Disappointing Camcorder.......2006-07-06

- after about a year, after the warranty expires, that is. Before it broke on me, it was an excellent camcorder, especially for the point-and-shoot crowd. It had manual options that were very handy. Then, of course, it broke.

The tapes started jamming, the DV timecode was severely messed up, it gave odd error messages, and would turn off abruptly. I had maintained it very well, cleaning the heads regularly. The worst part, however, was dealing with Canon Customer Support. If you have never dealt with them before, ... they are bent on vacuuming money out of their customers. It would have cost me just under $200 to have this manufacturing defect repaired. Why spend that much money on a camera that only costs $500 to begin with?

I have found that this problem is common with all of Canon's lower-end camcorder series, including the ZR line and the Elura line. I have not ever had experience with the upper-end cameras like the GL1 or XL1, but through research online they seem to be better engineered. That said, I still will not buy Canon again because their support is so bad.

Skip this one - $700 in the toilet.......2005-11-01

Bought the Elura 70 the moment it was available, paid $700. Used it may 3-4 hours, got it out for the kid's birthday, started having problems with the tape stopping, now it will not accept any tape, constant "eject Cassette" error. 14th month and out of warranty. Seach the internet, you'll find this problem everywhere. $174 minimum to repair, probably/possibly more(with shipping/insurance $200 easily). Oh, and then you get a lovely 3 month warranty after the repair and you cannot purchase a longer warranty from the repair. A minimum of $200 and I get 3 months coverage on $700 unit? Thanks, I'll use that $200 to purchase a quality product instead.
