There seems to be a rash of CCD failures for the Canon ZR series of camcorders. My ZR70 died after less than 18 months of very light usage. It is hitting several of the models, not just the ZR70. There have been several messages posted at: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/bbs/forumdisplay.php?f=9
Look for the "black screen" message threads. The cost to repair the out of warranty units is approximately $165-175.
Any brand mini DV camcorder recommended
