Canon Elura 2: Digital Video Done Right

 

With its excellent video quality and smaller-than-life form factor, Canon's Elura 2 digital video camera is a compelling solution for people who need impressive MiniDV video from a pocket-sized camera.

Canon is also shipping the Elura 2mc, which provides all of the features of the Elura 2 but also includes a standard MultiMediaCard slot. This slot accepts MultiMediaCards for storing still images. The Elura 2mc carries a list price of $1,799

Excellent value

 

Best features are compact size, the ability to use either manual or automatic functions, firewire connectivity to computer and ability of Adobe Premiere to control the camera remotely, miniDV format tapes, and decent battery life.

Small size, quality construction, auto/manual features, firewire

microphones pointed up rather than forward

It Beckons to be Used

 

I have a Canon IXY DV which is the Japanese version of the Elura 2MC. The difference between the Elura 2 and the 2MC is that the 2MC has a feature that allows you to capture still images onto a memory card (more on that later). My wife and I received...

Easy to carry around, simple to use, surprisingly good crisp color

Picks up too much wind noise

Too Noisy for a High-Price Camera

 

I purchased Canon Elura MC20 and the JVC GR-DVM75 with the intent that I would keep the Canon because its ergonomics are the best I have seen. It truly fits like a glove in your hand which is its best attribute.

Size-this camera fits like a glove

The mic picks up the noisy motor which is obtrusive ; poor in low lighting

Great digital camcorder!

 

For techno dummies like me- this is REALLY a great find. It's really small, easy to carry around. The video is SHARP. We plug it into the TV & show video all the time. We were a little reluctant about the purchase (we pd $1200 last year) but it is...

Excellent. Easy to use. Great results. Have had for 14 mos. Use all the time!

Still haven't figured out how to use the photo function/flash card.

My turn...

 

After reading all of the below reviews and some outside of epinions, I decided to buy the Canon. It wasn't an easy decision, and it was only all the glorious press on Sony that made me second guess. It cost 850.00 at Vans.com, which was significantly...

Easy to use, great for small-handed people,ultra-nice picture,docking station.

Great Camcorder, ok digital camera

 

I had wanted to purchase a digital camcorder for a long time. But there were so much to choose from. I did a lot of research and found the canon elura2mc is one of the smallest with great features. It also help when 2 of my co-workers also purchase...

This is small, light, compact and cool Camcorder.

Resolution for digital pictures are not sharp and auto focus is slow.

The Pocket Camcorder

 

I did so much research on digital camcorders, I thought I was never going to be able to pick one out. I read nearly every review on Epinions and on every other review site I could find. The specs for the Sony looked great, although the price tag on the...

Comfortable to use, incredibly convenient and small

Less feature-rich, drops fast in quality in low light

View from the trail

 

I purchased an Elura 2MC about one month ago in advance of a trip to the Yukon. I had a working VHS Canon camcorder, but found that I just didn't carry that around as much simply because of size, so my main interest was a reasonably compact camcorder....

Compact, built-in speaker, good all-round camcorder, stills with video

Subdued colors, low light performance, wind noise
