Description
Canon's new ES420V Hi8 camcorder is the top of its class. The high-quality Canon zoom lens, large color LCD viewscreen, top-notch feature set and your imagination are perfect partners for capturing stunning videos wherever you go. The view from the top has always been the best, now the ES420V makes it better.The ES420V's powerful 22x zoom lens transforms distant scenes into dramatic close-ups with absolutely no loss of image quality. The extra-long digital zoom magnifies to 700x, revealing details too distant to be seen by the naked eye. The high-resolution LCD view screen allows you to see your subject in living color as you shoot, making it easier to compose each scene for maximum impact. You'll not only get better recordings, you'll have more fun making them too!
The Hi8 video format features 400 lines of resolution, the highest quality outside of digital. Equipped with a 2.5-inch color LCD view screen and video light, Canon's Hi8 ES420V employs an integrated autofocus/autoexposure system that helps eliminate incorrect focus and exposure settings. Its 22x optical zoom lens is intensified by a digital zoom that enhances the range electronically to 700x.
There is also an additional set of special effects available during both recording and playback that will help add a little flavor to your movies. These effects include black-and-white, sepia, mirror, and mosaic, among others. Included in the package are an A/V cable, power adapter, shoulder strap, and battery pack.

An outstanding electronic device (for the price).

I haven't used very many camcorders yet, so I don't think I can fairly compare the ES420V against the competition. I can tell you that while I was impressed with all the features of the camcorder, I found it hard to hold and confusing to use ONLY at first. The video quality was impressive though, especially considering the relatively low expenditure. Compared to the Canon Elura2, I'd choose the Elura2 -- it's a bit easier to use and includes impressive stills. If you're in the market for a camcorder under [price], the ES420Vis ideal!
great camcorder
