If you are ready to take the leap into DVD recording, take Canon's DC-230E 'PAL' DVD-R/W Camcorder with you. This ultra-slim camcorder records to 8 cm DVD-R/W's and DVD-R dual layer disks that last virtually forever.
The 1.33 megapixel CCD captures video and still images in exacting detail, while the image stabilization system ensures that your pictures will not suffer from the "shaky picture" problem that has always troubled home videos.
The built-in still camera has all the features of a dedicated digital still camera, saving all your snapshots to the MiniSD (HC) card slot.
The USB 2.0 port and PictBridge compatibility make it easy to download your videos to your computer. You can then edit them with the included Digital Video Solutions software.
