VERY ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED
Mine was great for a while, but now it eats tape too. It's COMPLETELY useless. Canon knows there is a design flaw, and they should fix them for free or provide compensation to users.

Disappointed
Thank goodness I found this problem before the baby was born and after copying tape data to my Mac.
Currently a tape is stuck in my ZR10, a.k.a., paper weight. I spent several HRS copying important wedding videos before encountering this problem. After reading several other message boards and Cannon's FAQ's this is a widely known and accepted problem with the ZR10. I just hope the stars align and I can recover my current tape. After reading other reviews, it does not sound promising.
Luckily I only paid $100 for my used ZR10, so I definitely won't get it fixed and definitely will not buy another ZR10. The sick thing about this problem is that it sounds like Canon knows about this problem, but are unwilling to offer to fix it. That is a good way to loose this customer.

Started eating tapes
We bought this camera in 2002 and now it has started eating and rejecting tapes. At first it would only eat the expensive tapes and worked fine with the cheap ones. Now, it does not work at all. I paid close to 700$ for this and now it is useless.
It is obvious that Canon goofed up big time on this one. They should read these reviews and do something about it instead of hiding.

STAY FAR FAR AWAY
Just like thousands of others, I too now own this expensive paperweight. I BARELY EVERY used it in the last year, but now it has destroyed several tapes. IT EATS TAPES. DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!DO NOT BUY!

Seems like there's a problem with the thing eating tapes
I've been reading reviews here and it seems clear to me that the problem I'm having with my ZR10 is all too common. My camera started acting up and I thought it was just a dirty head. So I cleaned it. That didn't help. Now it too has started eating tapes and won't record or play, at least not consistently. I own a beautiful Canon EOS Elan II which works flawlessly.
Can anyone recommend a DEPENDABLE video camera?

ZR10 ate my priceless memories. Stay away!
There is nothing new I can add to the many posts regarding the Canon ZR10 eating tapes. All I can do is join the chorus of disapointed voices. Unfortunately, the value of my eaten tapes far exceeds the value of the camcorder and I don't know how I will ever recover them. One of the tapes included my grandmother's 100th birthday party. Now that she has passed, the family has no record of that memorable occasion. I have purchased my last Canon product.

TERRIBLE!!! Too bad no 0 stars
Ditto all the other posts. Worked for about 6mths, then started eating tapes. Repaired twice under warrenty, then warranty ran out, then repaired for $120 and then it happened again. No more good money after bad. Worst electronic purchase of my life. Will never buy Canon again.
