Description
This is a wonderful little consumer camera.
It runs around $650.00.
Camcorder and Digital Camera in One. You have them both without compromising
the quality of your video or digital photography. That's because Canon's
exclusive DIGIC DV signal processing circuit processes video & still
images differently. The two signals have different color requirements
& DIGIC DV technology processes the 2 signals accordingly, giving
you uncompromised results.
That means video images that are maximized for viewing on TV, & digital photographs that look brilliant on computer displays or as prints. DIGIC DV is just one of Canon's DV Photo Plus technologies that help to unleash the performance potential of the Optura 60.
A part of every Canon product are Genuine Canon Optics, & the Optura 60 is no exception. You get the same clarity, brilliance & vivid color that advanced amateurs & professionals have come to expect from the Genuine Canon Optics in 35mm film cameras & broadcast TV cameras.
Genuine Canon Optics is just one of the DV Photo Plus technologies that make the Optura 60 such a stand-out performer. The Optura 60 comes with a 14X optical zoom which, along with the camcorder's 280X digital zoom, gives you an impressive zoom range found on more expensive cameras.
One of the reasons the Optura 60 delivers stunningly vivid & sharp video and still (1632 X 1224) images is the 2.2 Megapixel CCD. It's one of the DV Photo Plus technologies that ensure outstanding results. In the Optura 60, this performance is combined with Canon's advanced RGB PrimaryColor Filter. 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 professional-quality images with natural-looking tones & vivid hues. Together, the 2. Megapixel CCD and RGB color filter deliver uncompromisingly brilliant results.
Print & Share, one of the powerful Canon DV Photo Plus technologies, makes easy downloading and printing of your images a snap. Print & Share, one of the powerful Canon DV Photo Plus technologies, makes easy downloading and printing of your images a snap.
Get the help you need for the perfect video or photo. The Optura 60 gives you settings that automatically give you the best exposure settings for different conditions, OR gives you control so you get the exact image you're after.
Shooting Modes include 6 new Scene Modes: Foliage, Fireworks, Beach, Snow, Sunset and Spotlight. Each adjusts your camcorder's settings to compensate for different lighting conditions and different subjects.
And, when you want to be in control of depth of field, the Optura 60 gives you an AV (Aperture Priority) setting so you can select the aperture of the lens. And, TV (Shutter Priority) lets you select a faster shutter speed so you get sharp, crisp images of fast-moving action. Show and share your memories that much faster by storing your digital photographs on the MultiMediaCard.
