personal and broadcast-quality video,
highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to
540 lines of horizontal resolution and minimum color noise, Mini
DV delivers a 20% clearer picture than analog camcorder
formats. All this, in a handy, super-compact cassette.

What sets a Canon camcorder apart from all the others? It’s the
only camcorder made by a company renowned for high-quality
professional optics. Our vast expertise in designing and crafting
precision lenses for 35mm and broadcast TV cameras also goes
into every camcorder lens we make. The OPTURA200
MC
’s 10x
optical zoom lens delivers superb definition and contrast, taking
full advantage of the DV format. The digital zoom extends the
camcorder’s magnification from 40 to an incredible 200x,
revealing details too small to see with the naked eye.

Optical Image Stabilizer
Canon utilizes the finest method of image stabilization available:
optical. While other manufacturers use an electronic or digital
image stabilization system, Canon's lens design includes a
dedicated optical element that preserves image quality so your
videos always look smooth, steady and natural...whether
shooting hand-held at full telephoto or from a moving vehicle. The
optical method is also the perfect complement to the
outstanding image quality of DV and offers superior
shake reduction when light levels are low and while
zooming.
