CamcorderInfo reviews the latest Canon camcorder – the Canon Elura 80 Camcorder. The Elura 80 replaces the Elura 60 and provides several new features including 16:9 recording, 18x optical zoom, and a slightly smaller form factor. How does it perform?

The Canon Elura 80 has some great features, like the 18x optical zoom, the top-loading tape mechanism, the headphone jack, and the chunky size. It’s a good camcorder with a few exceptions. The LCD and the subsequent placement of the menu button and jog dial are legitimate complaints. Get to the store and compare any Sony LCD to any other LCD in the store, and you’ll get an idea of what I’m talking about. The removal of the LED, the Flash, and the S-Video port are significant downgrades. However Canon has dropped the price.

Ok Canon.. why would you ever drop the S-Video port?? Weird.
