Canon DC 20 Slim DVD Camcorder -R/-RW Format, 2.2MP CCD, 10x Optical Zoom, 200x Digital Zoom, 2.5" LCD Screen
Canon launches the
world's smallest & lightest 1 Megapixel DVD digital
video cameras. PictBridge functionality also makes
the C20 the first digital video camera to support
photo printing direct from camera to printer.
The 2.2 Megapixel DC20 is Canon's first straight to
DVD model. With sophisticated aluminum casings,
clean lines & petite profiles, the exquisitely
slender digital video camera measures just 47mm
thick & allows video & digital stills to be shot
straight to DVD, for easy playback on home cinema
systems.
With no tape to rewind, footage records immediately
to the next available space on the DVD making
accidental overwriting a thing of the past. Specific
scenes are instantly selectable for playback or edit
from easy-access visual index play lists, which are
created in-camera. When the shooting is over, DVDs
can be finalized in camera & then fed straight into
the home entertainment system's DVD player for
instant playback, no tape, no transfers, no cables.
An RGB filter ensures rich & true color reproduction
by eliminating signal conversion. By providing true
split path processing, Canon's renowned DIGIC DV
processor ensures high quality video & stills.
Intuitive, easy-access external controls avoid the
headache of complex menu navigation & a large 2.5
super bright LCD screen makes shooting & playback a
pleasure even sunny summer holiday conditions pose
no problem with the backlight button & Anti
Reflective coating.
It features advanced digital still functionality
that rival many digital still cameras, including
special scene modes & 9-point AiAFauto focus. In
addition, a Print/Share button is included for
PC-free printing of photos direct to any PictBridge
compatible photo printer the first time this
technology has featured on a DVD camcorder.
Featuring a High Resolution 16:9 widescreen mode for
panoramic widescreen, a powerful 10x optical zoom
with built in lens cap and Electronic Image
Stabilizer (EIS) for steady footage, minimizing the
need for a tripod.
The DC20 also features Super Night Mode
incorporating a Mini Video light for shooting even
in zero light conditions and a light guide flash for
extending digital photo options. For those who want
to get creative with post production, DVD editing
and authoring software comes standard in the box,
while a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface gets movies and
stills uploaded fast.
For easy access, when in PLAY mode each scene
appears as a visual index. A PLAY LIST option allows
the creation of collections of favorite video
footage and still images, which can be ordered at
will. Individual footage can also be divided,
shortened and deleted with in-camera editing.
For those who can't wait to watch their handiwork on
the big screen, DVD finalizing is quick and easy. A
dedicated finalizing button does away with any
complex menu navigation. Still images can be stored
to DVD (around 8,000 images*) or to miniSD memory
card.
