SERIOUS FLAW
I have owned a Canon MiniDV camcorder for less than a year and I am VERY dissatisfied. Upon conducting research I have learned that Canon MiniDV Camcorders have a SERIOUS FLAW that has forced many owners to pay considerable repair fees and made many consumers reconsider ever purchasing another Canon product. For documentation of this problem, see this user forum:

Also, see this thread:

To make matters worse, Canon denies any such flaw exists, while continuing to take customers' repair payments.
