Canon DC50 DVD Digital Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom.
The DC50 digital camcorder lets you record directly to DVDs, and lets you shoot and share video through a variety of options. Only 3'' (8cm) in diameter, the DC50's DVD-R/-RW discs are compatible with most DVD players and can store up to 30 minutes of video in standard mode and 60 minutes of video in long play mode. They also record to DVD-R DL (dual layer) discs that can store up to 108 minutes of video.
With the DC50's DVD technology, you no longer have to worry about mistakenly taping over a once-in-a-lifetime piece of footage. Simply shoot, and the DC50 ensures that you record onto a blank part of the DVD.
Random Access and Easy EditingThe DC50's DVD functionality also makes it possible for you to review your footage quickly and easily without the bother of rewind or fast-forward searching. With the camcorder's Visual Index, you can review your footage at a glance and play the selection you want. You can even select shots and arrange them in a playlist. It's like editing your video right in your camcorder!
The DC50's Genuine Canon 10x Optical Zoom and 200x Digital Zoom lens is a high-performance multi-group lens with a double-sided aspherical element. It's coated to reduce glare and ghost images. It's the kind of superb optical instrument for which Canon has become famous. Combined with leading-edge image processing, nothing will come between your vision and your videos and photos.
The DC50 also comes with Canon's innovative Super-Range Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), which combines gyro- and image-sensors to give image stabilization through a wider range of camera motions. Some image stabilization systems correct one type of camera motion or vibration better than another. But Canon's Super-Range OIS corrects for a wide range of camcorder motion: the fast vibration Super-Range Optical Image Stabilizer you'd experience while recording from a moving car; the medium-speed motion of hand-held recording; and the slower motion of body sway. No matter what you are recording and how you are recording it, the DC50's stabilization design corrects camcorder shake instantly.
The DC50's powerful 5.39 Megapixel CCD makes it one of the highest resolution camcorders you will find in its price range, delivering exceptional quality video. The DC50's stunningly vivid video and color rival those of a 3 CCD camcorder. Plus, with its RGB Primary Color Filter, you get incredible detail and vivid, true-to-life color. Other camcorders process color using a standard CMYG filter, resulting in duller colors. Canon's RGB filter separates light into its red, green and blue components resulting in natural-looking tones and vivid hues. Together, these two technologies ensure brilliant image quality that matches the camcorder's brilliant DVD functionality.
Because Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV II next-generation signal processing circuit processes video and still images differently, you get uncompromising image quality for both. Video and still images have different color requirements and DIGIC DV II technology processes the two signals accordingly for improved color reproduction. That means your video images are maximized for viewing on monitors and for projection. It also uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs two types of noise reduction - for stunning images that are crystal clear whether it be video or photos. DIGIC DV II is another of Canon's advanced technologies that help to make the DC50 an exceptional performer.
The Horizontal Marker feature gives you a horizontal line in your viewfinder. You simply line up the horizon (or other horizontal line) to this line to ensure a level shot. The Grid Marker lets you see a grid in your viewfinder to help you compose the perfect shot. Both can be set to either white or gray so they're easily visible -- not matter what the background.
The DC50's 5.39 Megapixel CCD lets you take brilliant, sharp 5 Megapixel digital still photographs. Combined with RGB Primary Color filter, your photos will be sharper, clearer and more true to life. With performance rivaling a still camera, that sunset on the beach you shoot will be more dramatic- with every color in the sky faithfully captured. The joy on the face of a child scoring his/her first goal on the soccer field is recorded just as you saw it.
The DC50's advanced Histogram Display lets you fine-tune your exposures by viewing the brightness of your still images as you shoot just as in Canon's line of digital SLR cameras.
Like any good digital still camera, the DC50 lets you choose from a range of exposure modes. Auto mode automatically sets the exposure, letting you concentrate on your subject. AV (aperture priority) mode lets you control depth of field by letting you choose the aperture. TV (shutter priority) mode lets you select the shutter speed for sharp, action shots. In P (program) mode, the camcorder adjusts camera settings automatically.
The DC50 records true High Resolution Widescreen for picture perfect video. Canon's Widescreen HR Mode uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9 widescreen.
The viewfinder of your DC50 displays the image in a ''letterbox'' view -- from side to side and top to bottom, what you see will be what you get. No guessing and extra work when looking at an image that's distorted like a fun house mirror. Not only that, but the DC50's big, 2.7'' LCD screen and.27'' widescreen viewfinder let you see exactly what you are recording.
The DC50 also lets you show your great Widescreen HR video on a standard television in letterbox format.
The camcorder also features a miniSD Memory Card slot for large capacity storage in a card that's 1/2 the size of a standard SD card.
Built-in Electronic Lens Cover means you never have to go looking for your lens cover again. Plus, you do not have the bother of your lens cap dangling from your camcorder.
