At first I thought these were leftovers from Sellout.Woot.Com, but this is the ZR830 model, Sellout had the ZR100. The ZR830 is a great deal and its $10 cheaper than what Sellout was selling the ZR100 for. This is a nice pickup for only $129.99 plus shipping. Of course you won’t be making professional movies with this, but it looks like it has the potential to be a nice camcorder for most of your needs. If you are interested in making higher quality movies, or recording in HD, you may want to look at our suggest items. This will record in 16:9 widescreen, so that is a nice feature for a unit priced at this level.
I know that some camcorders are moving towards recording to onboard hard drives, but MiniDV should be a perfectly fine format for you for quite sometime.Gone are the days of loading that beast of a camcorder up onto your shoulder and looking like you are recording for the nightly news. This is a great pickup for those of you who won’t use a camcorder constantly, but still would like to have the ability to record those special events. In those cases, unless you have a lot of disposable income, this is a nice little entry level unit to see how much you’ll actually use one. I know that people usually buy these with the best intentions in the world to use, but it quickly starts gathering dust in the closet and becomes dated techonology.
Since most of you here are already admittedly a Wootaholic, I’m sure you are aware of the somewhat hidden Sellout.Woot.Com that is in association with the Yahoo! Shopping Network. They tend to have some really great deals with some very limited product quantities. I’ve found a few nice deals here from time to time. I think today’s Canon ZR100 is a nice pickup for only $139.99 plus shipping.
