High quality digital video Canon's ZR30 MC , ZR25 MC and ZR20 combine stunning digital video, still images and full, rich stereo sound into a sleek design with artistic detailing that's comfortable to hold and small enough for virtually any pocket. Their versatility expands even further after shooting as they easily connect to a DV-ready personal computer for editing or to a TV for the pure joy of sharing experiences. DV Format Enter the world of DV and realize truly amazing picture and sound quality. Images reaching up to 500 line horizontal resolution reveal stunning detail and clarity. Clearly superior quality than even the best analog camcorders, by 20% at least, and free from annoying color noise. DV is the right format, right now! 10x Optical Zoom Lens plus 200x Digital Zoom This Canon optical zoom lens perfectly transforms distant subjects into dramatic close-ups with absolutely no loss in image quality. The digital zoom extends the magnification to an amazing 200x* revealing details too distant to be seen with just the eye alone. The scope from wide panorama to super telephoto is outstanding. *40x when using a memory card Progressive Photo (ZR30 MC and ZR25 MC only) The ZR30 MC and ZR25 MC employ the Progressive Photo function to record sharp, clear still images, even of moving subjects, onto a memory card. When you take a still image, the camcorder's iris works as a mechanical shutter, immediately closing to shut out superfluous image data. Every 1/30 of a second, the camcorder reads two fields of image data simultaneously, resulting in full-frame images virtually free of time-lag blur. 10x Image Stabilizer A high quality image stabilization system corrects camera shake instantly, giving you smooth, stable pictures. It enables you to record shake-free images, even on long telephoto shots without a tripod. Image Stabilizer OFF 200x Digital Image Stabilizer ON Digital Photo Mode The camcorders function as a digital still camera; they're like two cameras in one. Just press the photo button to capture more than 700 stunning still pictures on a single videocassette (in SP mode) or combine video and still pictures together with the added benefit of audio. The ZR30 MC and ZR25 MC can also capture approximately 60 fine resolution still pictures onto an 8MB MultiMediaCard.
