Canon DC320 Camcorder

Canon DC320 camcorder - DVD
"Combining the ease of direct-to-DVD recording with the benefits of innovative Advanced Zoom technology, our new DC300 series raises the standard for DVD-based camcorders," said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging Europe. "Our commitment to offering the highest quality imaging to every consumer will encourage more and more people to discover the joy of home moviemaking." New to Canon camcorders in 2008, the LCD screen also doubles as a handy video light. When turned to face forwards, it provides enough illumination to allow recording of close-up subjects to continue in poor lighting conditions.


Canon DC320 video camera - Zoom and High resolution
Canon's Advanced Zoom system equips the Canon DC320 with more telephoto reach than was previously available at this level. Advanced Zoom combines the quality of genuine Canon optics with the processing capabilities of the DIGIC DV II image processor, allowing distant events - such as a bird in flight or a concert performance - to be captured with crystal clarity. The new Canon DC320 camcorder in the new range offers True Wide High Resolution 16:9 recording - perfect for playback on widescreen TVs. Canon's True Wide system also incorporates a widescreen 2.7" LCD - perfect for previewing movies in the correct dimensions - and a widescreen EVF (Electronic Viewfinder): allowing users to save on battery power when framing their shots during recording.

Canon DC-320 - Image processor and SDHC
Canon's DIGIC DV II image processor was originally designed to handle the increased data rate of High Definition footage. The extra processing capacity of this ultra-fast processor is inherited by the DC300 range: with advanced noise reduction technology built in, DIGIC DV II captures images that are sharper and colours that are truer-to-life. DIGIC DV II also drives the DC300 series' stills functionality. Since the colour requirements of digital photographs are different to video, it handles the signals separately, optimizing output for each. Digital photographs are recorded to SD or SDHC memory cards.
