Yesterday I did reply to Janel directly but as you ask:
The Language Lab has owned a Canon Elura digital camcorder for three years..
During this period it has been used by faculty in their classes and some who
have taken it all over the world; by our foreign TAs who have used it in
class and take it away on field trips with their students all over New
England and Canada; and by students who borrow it for class presentations.
Everyone loves it's size and the fact that it is so light. It's been out in
snow storms and you name it but it's still going strong. I don't see it as
fragile at all and can agree that the quality of the picture is great. It's
easy to use and the instruction manual is very straightforward in its
directions. We love it.
