Canon MV X10i Digital Camcorder With a super slim and sophisticated design, the MVX10i can easily be operated one-handed. A new ultra small built-in light guide flash makes easy work of flash photography. The well positioned Tape/Card selector knob enables you to switch between movie and still modes easily during shooting.
A 2.2 Megapixel CCD produces ultra high-resolution video images with 1.7 effective Megapixel as well as still images recorded at 2.0 effective Megapixel. Zoom is 10x optical/200x digital for movies, 9x optical/36x digital for stills.
An RGB Primary Color Filter ensures reds, greens and blues are reproduced faithfully. DIGIC DV ensures the recorded colours of both movies and stills match the colours you see when shooting. With MPEG4 your movies are routed to the SD Memory Card for easy transfer to your computer. The MPEG4 recording time is only limited by the size of the SD Memory Card.
High Resolution 16:9 mode for great image quality on wide screen TV without distorting the image by adding more effective pixels
Helpful consumer’s review
I’ve never been a big fan of Sony – they make great products, but I’m not willing to pay the extra that they put on the price for the Sony brand. The best alternative is Canon, and specifically, the MVX10i. My digital still camera is the Canon Powershot S40, and I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Canon cameras, so I decided to put my money into the MVX10i. It’s an excellent camera – the video is amazingly sharp, there’s no shortage of features to play with, and it uses a solid memory card standard (SD). Sadly, my S40 runs on CompactFlash cards, so I can’t interchange them. Still pictures are taken at 2.0 megapixels, which is quite high for DV cameras. Perhaps the only caveat in my mind is a relatively slow adjustment to fast movement. It takes a little while for the image to stabilise, but that’s not too big a problem. I definitely recommend this product.
