Canon 35x Optical Zoom Mini DV Digital Camcorder Review

If you're in the market for a new digital camcorder, than there are several things you must remember. The first of these is to make sure that the digital camcorder you choose will fit your certain shooting style. Not all digital camcorders are designed to withstand recording at sporting events or in demanding conditions. Secondly, you will need to ensure that you are receiving the latest technology within your digital camcorder. If you are looking for a versatile and technologically-advanced, yet still user-friendly, camcorder, than I highly suggested taking a look at the Canon 35x Optical Zoom Mini DV Digital Camcorder, Model: ZR800. This mini DV camcorder will provide you with the necessary features to take amazing videos, but it is has been designed to allow novice users to easily control its settings.

Main Product Features:

With advanced optical features, you will be able to enjoy taking videos that are extremely clear and vibrant with color and detail. One of the coolest features about this mini DV camcorder is the fact that is has a 35x optical zoom, which is quite high. However, it is when you delve into the 1000x digital zoom, yes one-thousand-times digital zoom, that you are able to capture moments that are happening far away from you. This is a great feature to have if you have children who play sports, because now you can record their facial expressions when they make the winning goal.

With the widescreen HR shooting mode, you are able to capture whole scenes. Widescreen technology is extremely important because every HDTV displays widescreen images, so if you are planning on watching the movies you record with this camcorder on your HD television, you will be able to view them in true widescreen format. You are able to ensure you are capturing the full-image you desire through the 2.7" LCD monitor, which displays your images in letterbox formatting.

The image stabilization feature works with the widescreen shooting mode, which ensures that your recordings are smooth and free from jerky movements that can ruin a video. You are able to switch between the standard shooting format (4:3) to widescreen format (16:9) with a simple touch of a button.

If you are capturing moments in dim light, you will be able to ensure a clear picture through the Auto Slow Shutter Mode, which will decrease the speed of this camcorders shutter, so you are ensured a maximum amount of light is absorbed, perfect for recording summer nights with your friends and family.

Product Price:

This Canon Mini DV Camcorder has so many advanced features that one would expect the price tag to be close to $1,000. However, consumers can purchase this digital mini DV camcorder for only $250 on average. This is a great camcorder, and I highly suggest it for consumers looking to purchase a new Mini DV Camcorder.
