For those of us still faithful to the tape-based MiniDV format Canon's ZR-900 provides quality and value. This standard definition camcorder features a 1/6" CCD image sensor for capturing accurate video and stills and a 41x Advanced Zoom for excellent close-ups. However, the microphone input, virtually unheard of in today's consumer video market, just might be this camera's most impressive features of all.

Smooth Zoom Control provides three preset speeds for professional looking zoom shots while the Quick Start function ensures that you'll never miss another once-in-a-lifetime moment again. The convenient joystick allows you to control playback, focus, exposure and menu functions. This camcorder also features a 2.7" LCD, Widescreen HR recording, an Image Stabilizer, a DIGIC DV processor and a built-in lens cap. If you're looking for a MiniDV camcorder, at an affordable price, you just found it.

Key Features

• MiniDV Recording

Record your favorite moments right to MiniDV for the time-tested image quality that keeps the faithful coming back for more.

• 41x Advanced Zoom

Canon's 41x Advanced Zoom extends the power of the 37x optical zoom for the longest Zoom available from the company. What's even better is that there is no loss of image quality, leaving you with accurate video and stills in every shot.

• 1/6" CCD Image Sensor

This 1/6" CCD image sensor provides stunning video every time you shoot.

• Smooth Zoom Control

Smooth Zoom Control gives you three preset zoom speeds to choose from for smooth, steady shots.

• Quick Start

Never miss the moment again because you're waiting for your camcorder to start up. Pressing the Quick Start button once keeps your camera in sleep mode. When you're ready to start recording just hit the button again and begin recording in under a second.

• 2.7" LCD Display & Widescreen HR Recording

Widescreen HR recording captures your video in full 16:9. Using the 2.7" LCD monitor you can compose in the same widescreen format, leaving no doubt in your mind that what you saw on the screen is what was recorded.

• Image Stabilizer

The Image Stabilizer on the ZR-900 gives you a steady shot even when you're panning and zooming or shooting telephoto.

• LCD Video Light

Use the LCD video light for low-light situations that could use a little more punch. The extra light will produce better color and detail in typically hard to record conditions.

• Joystick

The convenient joystick allows you to control playback, focus, exposure, and menu options.

• DIGIC DV Image Processor

Canon's DIGIC DV image processor gives your video superb color and accuracy.

• Level Shot & Grid Markers

The Level Shot Control button on the ZR-900 produces a horizontal mark, allowing you to line up level shots. The Grid marker also helps you to even out tough shots. Both markers can appear in color, making it even easier for you to compose.

• Built-in Lens Cover

Never lose your lens cap again with Canon's built-in lens cover. When the camera turns on the cover opens and when it turns off it closes.

• Microphone Input

Virtually unheard of in the consumer camcorder market the microphone input sets the ZR-900 apart.
