Canon Vistura
Camcorder | March 29th, 2008
Digital Sophistication and Absolute Elegance Only From Canon
Only Canon can deliver the best in digital video technology. The Vistura fuses superior image quality with a sleek, elegant and compact design. Created to fit in the palm of your hand, the Vistura lets you capture and combine high-resolution video and still photos onto Mini DV videocassettes. Its large, rotating view screen is perfect for capturing almost any conceivable angle or for immediate playback viewing. The Vistura, from its outstanding zoom lens to its auto editing capability, is all you need to produce amazing digital video from start to finish.
The camcorder uses the MiniDV tape format which provides high quality digital video. The Vistura follows a line of great canon digtal camcorders, it can recorde in both 16bit and 12 bit digital audio and has 1/3 inch CCD with 390,000 pixels. The Vistura offers both SP (60 minutes) and LP (90 minutes) recording, a feature which is not usually included in most digtal video cameras and can be very helpful. The vistura has a 16x zoom, which is not as big as most but is probably big enough for most users. The Vistura has a 2.8 inch LCD screen which can be very helpful in getting those neat creative shots. The camcorder has Fire Wire port which is great for editing your digital videos. A feature that can be considered both good or bad dependant on the user is the cameras small size; it weights only 9 and 3/8 oz. and is about 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 x 5 3/4 inches in size. This is really great for some one who wants to take their camcorder every where and travels alot, though small camcorders are hard to control and keep steady. This can make your videos shaky and hard to watch.
