Canon ZR85

Comments:
The Canon ZR85 is a MiniDV Camcorder with a 20x Optical Zoom.

Review Verdict: A powerful 20x optical/400x digital zoom helps you get in close, but you should also have a close look at the other features on the Canon ZR85, like the SD Memory Card slot, selectable focusing points, PCM digital sound and 2.5" LCD view screen.
