Canon HV30, High-Definition Mini Camcorder

Canon’s follow-up to the popular HV20, the Vixia HV30 HDV camcorder, continues the tradition of excellence from this legendary company. As before, record your memories in true 1920 x 1080 HD to MiniDV tapes for stunning image quality each and every time. When you prefer to shoot stills capture them in 3.1Mp to miniSD cards (sold separately). The 10x optical zoom, 1/2.7″ CMOS sensor with the RGB Primary Color Filter, HD Video Lens and 2.7″ widescreen LCD all work together for the most accurate, rich video and stills possible in a consumer camcorder. SuperRange Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) keeps your images free from shaky video by correcting for a wide range of camera motion. DIGIC DVII, specifically developed for still images ensures superior color reproduction for skin tones, and light and dark scenes. 24p Cinema mode gives your video that film-like feel while 30p Progressive Mode works great when capturing action shots or footage meant for the internet. The HDMI output provides a hassle-free HD connection of both audio and video in a single cable. Add external video lights, microphones and flashes via the Advanced Accessory Shoe Terminal and utilize the USB 2.0 for fast transfer of still images. Canon’s strong showing with the HV30 covers all the bases and then some, ensuring that everything you loved about the HV20 is still present this time around.
