Canon HV10 2.7MP CMOS HDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom, 1080i, 16:9

The Canon HV10 HDV Camcorder brings the power of HD recording to the consumer in one of the smallest and lightest HDV camcorders ever. The HV10 Captures images in genuine 1080i resolution, so you are shooting in real HDTV, all on a mini HDV tape. Canon improves upon the standard CCD camcorders by using a CMOS sensor to generate images. The 2.9MP CMOS Sensor tends to process faster than a CCD for richer color and sharper detail. When you add a 10x Optical Zoom and a DV II processor you get ultra-sharp color and incredible detail even from a distance.

As impressive as the HV10 is as a camcorder, it gets even better as a 3.1 Megapixel digital still camera. Store images on tiny Mini-SD memory cards with the Mini-SD card slot. The optical image stabilizer and advanced AF auto focus make it easy to get crisp clean video and photos. Choosing and using the enhanced features such as Smooth Zoom Zebra Pattern and Level Shot Control, are easy thanks to the 2.7" LCD screen.

Canon fit everything you can ask from a camcorder in the HV10, all in a body that fits comfortably in your pocket. Now if they could only develop a "remove 10 pounds feature"...
