Canon ZR830 News Release Summary:
Canon Unites Imaging Expertise with Simplicity and Smart New
Features So Consumers Can Expertly Capture Every Important
Moment - With the Touch of a Button
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., January 5, 2007 (CES Booth #12606) – Canon
recognizes that whether they are shooting a 50th anniversary
party, baby's first steps, or a trip around the world, camcorder
users are looking to capture the movement and visual images,
resulting in memories that are inherent in every important life
stage. To help anyone become an instant expert, Canon has
introduced three new models in its entry-level ZR series
camcorders: the ZR850, ZR830, and ZR800 Mini-DV Camcorders.
These camcorders provide powerful technology for capturing the
most outstanding videos and photos with an array of smart new
features that ensure the easiest, most enjoyable user
experience. In fact, as Canon has long been regarded as an
expert in optical lens design and production, all ZR series
camcorders will feature 35x optical zoom - Canon's longest zoom
ever.
"For those users looking for a no-nonsense camcorder, Canon has
a camcorder that meets their needs," says Yuichi Ishizuka,
senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer
Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Not only do the Canon 2007
ZR series camcorders create incredible images, but they are also
affordable and easy to use."
Canon's ZR camcorder line offers the ideal solution for
consumers who may just be getting started with their first
camcorder and are looking for the simplest, most accessible
device that delivers great results. The new ZR models feature a
joystick in the main panel display that makes it easier than
ever to record, play back and navigate the menu options. The
Easy Mode automatically optimizes most of the camcorder's
settings, while the preset scene modes make it easy to shoot
common scenes, including sunsets, fireworks, or a day at the
beach.
The 2.7 inch widescreen LCD (112,000 pixels) allows users to
easily compose shots that can be shown on a widescreen TV. The
new ZR series Mini-DV camcorders will offer a .35 inch color
viewfinder which allows users to view and record live scenes in
Widescreen HR (high resolution) with a 16:9 aspect ratio - the
same aspect ratio of today's popular widescreen television sets.
The new models are powered by Canon's DIGIC DV image processor.
The DIGIC DV technology processes video information separately
from photo information in order to always reproduce accurate,
clear colors for both mediums. It also dynamically widens the
range of colors in video and photos.
Go the Distance – Smoothly
The 2007 ZR series camcorders offer 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.
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.
Never Miss a Moment
This year, Canon introduces the Quick Start feature, which
allows the camcorder to be ready at a moments notice. The Quick
Start mode (available on the ZR850 and ZR830 Mini-DV camcorders)
provides an alternative to the standard limited "on/off" option
and lets users put the camcorder on "standby" between shots.
Once on standby, users can resume shooting quickly - in less
than one second - meaning no more missing the first moments of
the school play while the camcorder warms up.
Quick Start's "standby" capability also means that the camcorder
does not waste battery power by repeatedly turning on and off.
Canon ZR Mini-DV camcorders can remain in Quick Start mode for
30 minutes before automatically shutting off.
You Can Take It With You
The ZR850 and ZR830 Mini-DV Camcorders each record still images,
and feature PictBridge technology, which make it a snap to
distribute prints by allowing the ZR camcorder to connect
directly to any PictBridge compatible printer. For portable
storage versatility, the camcorders can accommodate either a
Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card or a MultiMedia Card. The ZR850
and ZR830 Mini-DV Camcorders are High Capacity "HC" compatible,
which allows them to use the newest high capacity cards that can
store more than two gigabytes of data. They also feature
wireless remote and a USB port.
Sleek Styling, Comfortable Cost
All structured with Canon's sleek designs, the new ZR series
camcorders are easy on the eyes and easy to hold in the hand.
The ZR series camcorders come in three colors-the ZR850, Pearl
Black; the ZR830, Dark Gray; the ZR800, Deep Blue. They also are
lightweight and compact, making them easy to grab on the go.
Even with the 35x optical zoom lens, each of the three ZR model
camcorders weigh less than one pound. All models have built-in
lens covers so that there is no intruding, dangling lens cap.
Canon's three new ZR series Mini-DV camcorders will be available
in late January. The estimated selling price for the ZR850,
ZR830, and ZR800 Mini-DV Camcorders are $329, $299 and $279,
respectively*.
