Specifications

Canon's top of the line standard definition MiniDV camcorder for 2008, the ZR-950, builds on the features of the 930, with the added benefit of still image capture. The 1.07Mp 1/6" CCD image sensor records beautiful video and stills every time you shoot while the 48x Advanced Zoom works to bring your subject up-close with no loss in image quality.

Smooth Zoom Control provides three preset speeds for professional looking zoom shots. The Quick Start function ensures that you'll never miss another once-in-a-lifetime shot again and the convenient joystick allows you to control playback, focus, exposure and menu functions. This camera also features a 2.7" LCD, Widescreen HR recording, PictBridge compatibility, an Image Stabilizer, a DIGIC DV processor and a built-in lens cap. If you crave the old-school tape format, with the ability to capture stills at an affordable price, then the ZR-950 is for you.

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

• 48x Advanced Zoom: Canon's 48x 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 clear, accurate video and stills in every shot.

• 1.07Mp 1/6" CCD Image Sensor: This 1.07Mp 1/6" CCD image sensor gives you stunning footage every time you shoot.

• Still Image Capture: Take 1Mp still images with the ZR-950 and store them to SD/SDHC cards for quick upload to your computer for emailing, printing or sharing on sites such as YouTube.

• 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.

• PictBridge: Share and print your still images with the touch of the button using a PictBridge compatible printer via the included USB cable.

• 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-950 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-950 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.

• Multi-Angle Wireless Remote: The included Multi-Angle wireless remote allows you to control the camcorder from a distance, instead of just right next to the camera. Now when you want to be the in the shot too you can!
