Representing the top of the range for Canon's digital MiniDV camcorders, the MV960 provides a great number of advanced features.The MV960, with a CCD sensor of 800 000 pixels, employs Canon's powerful DIGIC DV imaging engine. DIGIC DV provides separate processing paths for both video and still images, making sure that colours are vivid and vibrant for each. Simultaneous video and photo shooting is also possible. The MV960 is optimised for true 16:9 widescreen recording - from the high-resolution CCD to a 2.7" wide colour LCD screen with level marker and colour viewfinder. Shot in 16:9 mode, video is perfect for watching back on the latest widescreen TVs. It takes just the push of a single button to switch between 16:9 wide and normal 4:3 shooting. A powerful 25x optical zoom, with image stabilization and variable zoom speeds, delivers the highest optical standards. Key camcorder functions and controls have been refined. For beginners, a one-push Easy Shooting mode sets the most important controls to automatic. A simplified overall layout means that there are only six buttons and a convenient joystick for more creative control. Five Program AE modes are available. An additional wireless controller is supplied with the MV960, allowing remote control of key functions, letting you get into the shot.
