“Excellent quality and easy to use.”
I've had my Canon DC 210 for several months and have always been astounded by the great quality of the videos. Recently I vacationed in Niagara Falls where this compact digital video camera really showed me what it is capable of. Videos of the falls day and night were oustanding. Its ability to capture good quality videos in reduced lighting is amazing, given that this is not an expensive camera. Several times I had opportunity to test out the 35x optical zoom and the 1000x digital zoom. While the digital zoom leaves a lot to be desired, as do all digital zooms, the Canon was far better than any other I've seen. The video camera gave me videos that will make this vacation remain fresh and alive for many years to come. The mini-dvd memory consistantly gives me as much as 55 minutes of video, in spite of the fact that the instruction manual says not to expect more than 30 to 35 minutes. The rechargable battery has always been more than enough to record a full mini-dvd disk and then some. The built-in mic does a far better job in most situations than I had expected, as long as the distance from the talent is not to far. For the money spent, I could not have gotten a better value for my dollar.
