Makes great videos but user manual misinforms October 2, 2009

What I like about the Canon DC420: fits in a coat pocket; makes DVDs (3 inch); has a built-in lens cap; has a color viewfinder (handy in the sun when LCD screens are useless); produces excellent video image quality, even at full zoom; has a sensitive microphone that clearly picks up quiet things like a rabbit clucking and things behind the lens like the filmer's voice; handles loud noise and wind well.
What I don't like about the Canon DC420: the user manual.
User manual says: remove the DVD from the camcorder each time you are done shooting.
Canon rep says (I called): ignore the warning; the machine will be fine if the DVD is left in, and the DVD will be too.
My experience: I never take the DVD out, and I've had no problems.
User manual says: only a few DVD brands will work in this camcorder. (If you don't use one of those brands, the camcorder itself flashes a time-wasting message each time you turn it on: "Use of a recommended disc is advised.")
Canon rep says: ignore the warning.
My experience: I've been using TDK--not recommended--and they work great.
The manual also doesn't mention that you must have the camera sitting on a stable, flat surface BEFORE you start the finalization process. Well, it does mention it, but at the very end of the instructions--too late for me. (Finalization is a mandatory, sensitive process that gets the disc ready for viewing once you've filled it.)
The still camera is comparable in quality to a cell phone camera. Photos are stored on an SD memory card, sold separately. Only 3-inch (8 cm) DVD/-R or DVD/-RW mini DVDs work in this machine.
Great Camera But Poor Instructions February 22, 2010

The Canon DC420 Camcorder was my first Digital Camcorder and I am impressed with video picture quality. The zoom feature is way beyond my expectations as well as
the audio quality. Easy to operate once you figure out the instruction manual. I
certainly have no idea what the people who wrote this manual were thinking when they were writing it! Would have been much easier if one section of the manual was devoted entirely to the video application and a separate section for still camera mode. The way it is written you have to "jump" all over the manual trying to figure out what's going on. Also, there should have been a SD card included and software when you download a DVD to computer. I had to obtain a program just to convert the VOB files from the DVD to files for Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker.
Other than those couple discrepancies it is an absolutely super video camera and I would very highly recommend it. I won't say the Canon Support Group was great but they tried their best and overall I was satisfied.
Perfect camera with SUPERB picture and quality June 18, 2010

I am glad i got this camera. This camera picks up even my heartbeat. The mic is so sensitive and the picture quality is awesome. Low light or full sun, this camera can shoot anything. This thing gives stunning results, even when shot from the window of a car, cruising down the highway at 60-70 MPH. Clear picture...
I am glad i invested in this cam. Canon has never let me down :)
Great low light video July 2, 2010
Ruben (Centereach, NY USA)
I love this camcord. Great performance in indoor video. Only drawback is the DVD media itself. I would like to use a memory stick, instead.
