Canon DC210 News Release Summary:
New Canon DC230, DC220 and DC210 DVD Camcorder Models Are
Feature Packed, Family Friendly and Amazingly Affordable
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., January 5, 2007 (CES Booth #12606) – Canon's
trio of new, feature-filled, easy-to-use, DVD camcorders fit
comfortably into the hands and the budgets of doting dads, moms
on the move, proud grandparents and even film-buff brothers or
sisters aching to be making the next great backyard blockbuster.
Canon's new DVD camcorders offer the convenience of viewing and
sharing DVD discs, whether shooting in 16:9 Widescreen HR (high
resolution) format for their widescreen Television (without
resorting to cropping or stretching the scene), or bringing
distant subjects and scenes up close and personal. Canon's
DC230, DC220 and DC210 DVD Camcorders make video excellence and
video ease two sides of the same coin.
All three of these new DVD camcorders combine the convenience,
versatility, and broad compatibility of DVD recording and
playback with the dramatic reach of genuine Canon 35x optical
zoom lens (1000x digital zoom), which is Canon's longest optical
zoom on a camcorder to date. Sophisticated yet simple to use,
Canon's Smooth Zoom feature actually reduces the erratic, jerky
zoom techniques that plague some users of long zooms, smoothing
out the process by selecting from one of three pre-set zoom
speeds. For even smoother video, Canon Image Stabilization helps
provide a shake free image for the entire focal length.
"The new DC230, DC220 and DC210 DVD Camcorders are Canon's
latest contribution to the state-of-the consumer camcorder art
and further reinforces Canon's position within the DVD camcorder
category," states Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and
general manager of the Consumer Imaging Group, Canon USA., Inc.
"More importantly, they combine this dynamic DVD technology and
many other Canon camcorder advances and innovations into slim,
trim, lightweight camcorders that are easy to use, easy to
afford and easy to love for the high quality results they
produce." Slim, compact, and ergonomically designed, the DC230,
DC220 and DC210 DVD Camcorder's smooth contours allows the model
to snug comfortably up into the user's palm, while the easily
accessible joystick and strategically placed controls make
one-handed videography virtually effortless.
Quick Start
Missing magic moments, bona fide "firsts" (like baby's tentative
first steps) and other once-in-a-lifetime happenings is not an
option thanks to Canon's responsive, Quick Start Mode. When in
standby mode, Canon's DC230, DC220 and DC210 DVD camcorders are
ready for action in less than a second, simultaneously powering
up their large and bright 2.7 inch wide 16:9 format,
123,000-pixel LCD displays. This feature dramatically improves
battery life and makes the camcorder ready for those moments
that may have otherwise been missed waiting for the camcorder to
warm up.
Optical Quality
The three camcorder's long 35x optical zoom lens that can
capture Junior's first catch in the outfield and not miss the
exultant expression on his face, and users can feel assured that
their personal milestones (and the occasional embarrassing
"oops") will be preserved for posterity without the need for
retakes or re-creations.
DIGIC DV II
DIGIC DV II is the next generation of Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV
signal processing technology. Even though video and still images
have different color requirements, DIGIC DV II digital signal
processing ensures optimal image quality for both video and
still images. Using DIGIC DV II image processing, the DC series
of camcorders produce video with improved color reproduction --
especially in skin tones, and dark and light scenes. It also
uses a hybrid noise reduction system that employs two types of
noise reduction for images and video that is crystal clear.
Camcorder Convenience
The Canon DC230, DC220, and DC210 DVD Camcorders accept
three-inch DVD-R/-RW discs, which can store up to 60 minutes of
video on a single layer disc, or up to 108 minutes of video on
dual layer discs. Canon chose the DVD-R format to ensure high
compatibility with a range of DVD players, both old and new. DVD
allows consumers to easily locate scenes without having to
rewind or fast forward, to create playlists of favorite scenes
and can even do some quick editing right in the camcorder.
Canon's DC210 DVD Camcorder
Despite occupying the true entry-level tier of Canon's DVD
Digital camcorder line, the DC210 DVD Camcorder actually offers
users a phenomenally feature-packed camcorder so users can enjoy
the superior quality and innovation of Canon optics in a DVD
camcorder. From the long, 35x optical/1000x digital zoom, image
stabilization, and brilliant 2.7 inch widescreen LCD, to all of
the power that DIGIC DV II technology brings to the movie-making
mix, the DC210 DVD Camcorder raises the bar for entry level DVD.
On the Level and Interesting to the Eye
Because the right features can help any user compose shots like
a Hollywood director, Canon has incorporated a level marker and
added a new grid marker to the easy mode feature mix. When
engaged, the markers appear - in either white or gray -
superimposed over the image on the camcorder's display. The
level marker appears as a horizon line, to easily let the user
know if the camera is being kept level while the grid marker
effectively divides the image into nine equal rectangular
segments, making it easier for the user to compose a more
appealing and effective shot.
Available in early March, the Canon DC210 and DC220 DVD
Camcorder kits carry an estimated selling price of $399 and $449
and respectively.* The DC230 DVD Camcorder will be available in
late March for an estimated selling price of $499.
