Canon Optura 100MC

Being a hybrid product means that one can successfully carry the workload of two. The Optura 100MC takes the concept of a hybrid to a whole new level. Stunning video and razor sharp still images are flawlessly combined to produce a superior imaging tool.
The perfect fusion of camcorder and still camera, the Optura 100MC successfully manages the task of both. Versatility and style is the backbone of the Optura 100MC. An extensive feature set and attention to detail make every shooting experience a sheer delight. To complement the high performance of the Optura 100MC, Canon offers a variety of different accessories. Whether you desire a fresh perspective, more light, or simply want to extend your shooting time, Canon has the right solution.
The Canon Optura 100MC is a digital video camcorder, using the standard MiniDV cassette; it produces the highest quality video possible from non-broadcast equipment. The MiniDV format standard delivers more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution. This is about a 25% improvement in picture quality over the best analog formats. On top of that, because it records both video and audio as digital data, this information can be transferred — without any loss of picture or audio quality — to computer for editing, then transferred back to DV tape, without a reduction in either picture or audio quality. All of this is through the use of the IEEE 1394 protocol commonly known as FireWire
