Canon DC 20 Slim DVD Camcorder -R/-RW Format,"STORE DEMO" 2.2MP CCD, 10x Optical Zoom, 200x Digital Zoom, 2.5" LCD Screen

Canon launches the world's smallest & lightest 1 Megapixel DVD digital video cameras. PictBridge functionality also makes the C20 the first digital video camera to support photo printing direct from camera to printer.

The 2.2 Megapixel DC20 is Canon's first straight to DVD model. With sophisticated aluminum casings, clean lines & petite profiles, the exquisitely slender digital video camera measures just 47mm thick & allows video & digital stills to be shot straight to DVD, for easy playback on home cinema systems.

With no tape to rewind, footage records immediately to the next available space on the DVD making accidental overwriting a thing of the past. Specific scenes are instantly selectable for playback or edit from easy-access visual index playlists, which are created in-camera. When the shooting is over, DVDs can be finalised in camera & then fed straight into the home entertainment system's DVD player for instant playback, no tape, no transfers, no cables.

An RGB filter ensures rich & true color reproduction by eliminating signal conversion. By providing true split path processing, Canon's renowned DIGIC DV processor ensures high quality video & stills. Intuitive, easy-access externalcontrols avoid the headache of complex menu navigation & a large 2.5 super bright LCD screen makes shooting & playback a pleasure even sunny summer holiday conditions pose no problem with the backlight button & Anti Reflective coating.

It features advanced digital still functionality that rival many digital still cameras, including special scene modes & 9-point AiAFauto focus. In addition, a Print/Share button is included for PC-free printing of photos direct to any PictBridge compatible photo printer the first time this technology has featured on a DVD camcorder.

Featuring a High Resolution 16:9 widescreen mode for panoramic widescreen, a powerful 10x optical zoom with built in lens cap and Electronic Image Stabiliser (EIS) for steady footage, minimising the need for a tripod.

The DC20 also features Super Night Mode incorporating a Mini Video light for shooting even in zero light conditions and a light guide flash for extending digital photo options. For those who want to get creative with post production, DVD editing and authoring software comes standard in the box, while a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface gets movies and stills uploaded fast.

For easy access, when in PLAY mode each scene appears as a visual index. A PLAY LIST option allows the creation of collections of favourite video footage and still images, which can be ordered at will. Individual footage can also be divided, shortened and deleted with in-camera editing.

For those who can't wait to watch their handiwork on the big screen, DVD finalising is quick and easy. A dedicated finalising button does away with any complex menu navigation. Still images can be stored to DVD (around 8,000 images*) or to miniSD memory card.
