You also get an impressive array of features found on more expensive models, including a miniSD card capability for easy image storage. With the DC230, you'll enjoy capturing the precious moments of your life and sharing them with everyone. Minimize


Canon XH G1


With an internal battery system allowing the camcorder to operate in extreme environments, the compact XH A1 has been developed for balanced handheld shooting. Ideal for use on location, its controls are positioned for comfortable operation during long shoots. The XH A1 features separate rings on the lens body, allowing full, three-fingered manual control over focus, zoom and iris. A 2.8 inch widescreen LCD, discretely positioned on top of the XH A1's body, can be rotated for optimum shooting comfort. Footage can also be monitored in 16:9 widescreen using the 0.57 inch EVF. A full range of image adjustments are available, including finely graded gain and matrix settings and colour correction. Cine gamma settings are provided for digital filmmakers. With an additional 25F shooting mode the XH A1 is able to reproduce the look and feel of film. Minimize


Sanyo VPC-HD1


The Sanyo VPC-HD1 brings high definition video recording to a new, compact and low-cost level. This miniature camera resembles some digital still photo cameras in its vertical layout. It has an OLED display monitor built in for new levels of power and space efficiency with increased light output and faster respones times over traditional LED displays. And this camera does not use video tape for recording but encodes with MPEG4 compression onto inexpensive SD cards (sold separately). In fact a 2 GB card will record over 40 minutes of HD video. Because the recording process uses no moving parts the card can be reused far more times than a video cassette. High quality stereo audio is recorded using AAC-LC encoding. Minimize
