At CES, Canon announced the release of three new ZR MiniDV camcorders. The budget-line series has received significant overhaul in the areas of zoom, reductions in size and weight, a 2.7” widescreen LCD, and some design changes – most notably a new menu navigation control. The prices have also been reduced. The ZR500 is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of these changes. Replacing the ZR100, the ZR500 has an MSRP only $299 – meaning that in a few months you might be able to pick this up for as little as $200..
