Along with the 2.2 Megapixel CCDs, Canon is strongly pushing the still features of the new camcorders. Particularly emphasized are Canon's set of photo features which they label DV Photo Plus. This package integrates Canon's optics, large pixel count CCD, DIGIC DV Processor, and Print and Share feature. Both camcorders come with a built-in flash, a continuous shooting mode, selectable focus points, auto exposure bracketing, and a photo review feature. Minimize

Optura 500: Far from perfect, but still the best

Author's Rating: Rating: 4/5 stars

Pros: Ultra compact DV camcorder with top notch Canon optics

Cons: Expensive price due to feature bloat; plastic feel; poor battery life

Bottom Line:
The Optura 500 is in a class by itself. No other ultra-compact DV camcorder offers the high optical quality and features like built-in light in this price range. Read More
