Review of Canon's ZR90 MiniDV camcorder

PC Magazine takes a gander at the ZR90,
Canon's entry-level MiniDV camcorder and finds that while it's adequate on its own, it's no match for Sony's DVR-HC40 in terms of picture quality. It comes with a sweet 22x optical zoom and a wide-angle lens attachment, but some of the badly placed buttons led to inadvertent pressing, while color output was slightly grayish and faded at times. We can deal with a little grayishness here and there, but you really don't want to discover that you accidentally pressed the mute button while capturing some of those precious moments.
