Canon ZR500 Camcorder Review

Still Features (0.0)
The Canon ZR500 offers no still features. In fact, it doesn’t even take stills. Really, Canon, throw us a bone. Even the bottom-end Sony DCR-HC26 can capture stills to MiniDV tape with seven seconds of audio, all with a simple click of a button. Of course, anyone can capture stills from video footage with the right software, but it’s hardly worth the effort when the resolution is only 640 x 480 – that’s 0.6 megapixels. Even the cheapest point-and-shoot still cameras can capture at over six times this quality.
