Canon DC230 1MP DVD Camcorder with 35x Optical Zoom

Canon DC230 is the step-up model from the DC220. Instead of a 680,000 pixel CCD capture sensor, DC230 has 1.07 Megapixel. Your video will be sharper, clearer and more true to life, as will your photos. Every sunset on the beach 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. And it's recorded on 8-centimeter DVD discs (DVD-R/RW and DL) that can play on most DVD players. These DVD can also be played on your computer's drive for editing and enhancement, or for direct transfer to the Internet or e-mail. The DC230 has an optical image stabilizer that helps take the shake out of usual handheld recording. You can create video recordings in standard 4:3 format or the new widescreen 16:9 format that'll fill new widescreen televisions. It's got a wide 2.7" LCD on board, plus a color viewfinder. It has a slot for a miniSD card to store still images that can be taken with the DC230. An easy menu can be displayed in 17 languages for simple use by anyone, anywhere. Considering all the possibilities life has to offer, the Canon DC230 is a great way to capture, preserve, and share precious moments with others and, of course, for you.

    DC-230 Highlights

    DVD-R/-RW/-R DL format Only 8 centimeters (3 inches) in diameter, these discs can store up to 80 minutes of video (up to 108 minutes on a dual layer disc), and are compatible with most old and new DVD players.

    Genuine Canon Optics with 35x optical zoom/1000x digital zoom lens Canon’s longest optical zoom ever. Genuine Canon Optics ensure that video and photos are clear and rich with color and detail. Canon’s expertise in designing lenses for photography and broadcast television goes into every camcorder we make.

    1-megapixel CCD image sensorWhether you’re shooting video or photos, you will benefit from the camcorder’s razor-sharp CCD image sensor.

    Quick Start Instead of powering off your camcorder between shots, simply press the Quick Start button to put the camcorder in stand-by mode. Quick Start considerably reduces the power consumption of the battery and allows the user to return to recording mode in approximately .9 seconds, so you’ll never have to miss another special moment.

    Widescreen HR recording The DC230 records true widescreen for picture-perfect video. Canon’s image processing system uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing a big picture in true 16:9 widescreen so no one and nothing is left unseen. And Canon camcorders take advantage of more pixels to give you amazing quality.

    2.7-inch widescreen LCD A 2.7-inch widescreen LCD lets you see exactly what your camcorder is recording, and what your TV will display later.

    Joystick The joystick makes using the camcorder easier than ever. Extra buttons have been eliminated, allowing you to control playback, focusing, exposure, and menu options from one convenient place.

    Image stabilizer Shoot rock-steady video -- even when you’re at maximum telephoto without a tripod. It is even effective while panning or zooming.

    Lower battery consumption The DC230 consumes less battery power giving you longer operation time.

    DIGIC DV II image processor 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. Thanks to DIGIC DV II image processing, the D121 produces 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 that are crystal clear.

    Smooth zoom control Want to shoot like the pros? Three fixed zoom speeds allow you to produce smooth video that will be enjoyable for everyone to watch.

    Level shot control Even if you are a first time camcorder user, you’ll never have to worry about shooting crooked video. A horizontal marker and center indicator always keeps you on track.

    Grid display It's easy to compose your shots for more professional looking video. The Grid marker is very convenient for setting up the special balance in your shots. Since background colors vary, you can select from two line colors to make the lines easily visible.

    Built-in lens cover A built-in lens cover means no dangling lens cover to lose.

    Still image recording Capture stunning photos in 4:3 aspect ratio to a miniSD card.

    USB 2.0 hi-speed terminal The DC230 features a hi-speed USB 2.0 terminal, which allows for DV streaming and ultra-fast transfer of movies and photos.

    I wasn't too impress2
    Though Canon is a great brand, I wasn't too impress with this particular camcorder. I thought it was a bit grainy...I think the picture quality could have been a little better. I actually return this product.

    Quality purchase5
    I purchased the DC230 as a Christmas gift for my wife. It took a couple of times using it to understand the itnitializing and finalizing processes. But now I consider myself an amatuer expert and enjoy the quality pictures and movies from this camcorder. Would recommend to anyone.

    Canon DC230 is fully capable of more than what most people would need4
    Great Price and nice product. I compared the models on a different web site but made my purchase on Amazon because the price was the best. The DVD's that Amazon recommended I buy with the camera were the wrong ones. Beware of this problem. The record standby mode is confusing and I have several full DVD of nothing but the kitchen counter, when I thought the camera was off and missed the shots I wanted. Zoom was not the 30 to one I expected. Was really no closer than my 12 to one camera. Quit using it after a month and switched to using my 8 megapixel Sony camera for video. Much nicer!
