Canon's Optura 300 Camcorder Packs Powerful Features into a Petite Package. The Optura 300 features a 2.5-inch LCD viewscreen and an electronic image stabilization system that helps to correct camera shake and steady the frames even when shooting hand-held or in telephoto mode. Indeed, features on the Canon Optura 300 camcorder focus on form as well as function, the trim vertical profile makes this mini marvel a perfect fit for the palm or the pocket. High Resolution 2.0 Megapixel CCD - The OPTURA 300 features a robust 1/3.4 inch 2.0 megapixel CCD. Combined with a razor-sharp, megapixel compatible lens and image stabilization, the camcorder creates outstanding quality video and photos. A photo is recorded on a memory card at an image size of 1632 x 1224 pixels. DIGIC DV - DIGIC DV is a system for achieving superior video and photographic images. Canon's expertise in imaging and electronics is flawlessly blended together, resulting in outstanding performance. It offers substantial benefits in color reproduction. DIGIC DV makes it possible to achieve accurate color for both video and digital photos. Since video and photos have different color requirements, DIGIC DV utilizes two different color techniques to maximize video quality on a TV and still image quality for print or computer display. RGB Primary Color Filter - In addition to achieving higher resolution, the OPTURA 300's 2.0 Megapixel CCD integrates an RGB Primary Color Filter which separates light passing through the lens into individual red, green and blue color components, similar to professional camcorders. As a result, the OPTURA 300 achieves more accurate color reproduction with finer gradations than models using a conventional complementary color filter. The difference is especially noticeable, for instance, in skin tones and scenes with a dominant color such as sunsets, a ski slope or a forest. Genuine Canon Optics: 10x Optical Zoom Lens / (40-200x Digital Zoom) - What sets a Canon camcorder apart from all the others? It's the only camcorder made by a company renowned for high-quality professional optics. Our vast expertise in designing and crafting precision lenses for 35mm and broadcast TV cameras also goes into every camcorder lens we make. The OPTURA 300's optical zoom lens delivers superb definition and contrast, taking full advantage of the DV format. The digital zoom extends the camcorder's magnification revealing details too small to see with the naked eye. VIC - Embracing the industry's latest and most sophisticated technology, Canon camcorders feature an exclusive connection circuit, called VIC. VIC is a virtual powerhouse. Traditionally, multiple chips were needed to perform the camcorder's input and output functions. However VIC manages it all with one single chip. The result is seamless connectivity whether you are connecting to a computer, TV, or VCR. Image Stabilizer - A high quality image stabilization system corrects camcorder shake instantly, so your videos always look smooth, steady and natural even when shooting hand-held at full telephoto.
