Looking for an affordable way to record the kids and immediately watch the video on your TV? Canon's DC420 DVD Camcorder makes home movie making about as easy as it gets. There's no need to upload video or go through editing processes, if you don't want. Just capture the scene, pop the DVD into your player, and watch the video on your TV in all its glory. And, you can leave the camera at home when you're out with your DC420, because it also captures digital stills to SDHC memory cards.

The DC420 has a 1.07Mp CCD image sensor and the DIGIC DV II Image Processor for true-to-life color reproduction. Other features include 48x Advanced Zoom, electronic image stabilization, and the Quick Start Function.

If recording footage to hard drive or flash memory isn't quite your thing, consider DVD recording with the DC420.
