A step up from the ZR-900, Canon's ZR-930 MiniDV 'PAL' Camcorder is the mid-level offering from the company for 2008. Like the ZR-900 this camera also features a 1.07Mp 1/6" CCD image sensor for capturing stunning video. However, the impressive 48x Advanced Zoom, sets this camera apart, by bringing your subjects closer than ever. In addition, the microphone input, virtually unheard of in today's consumer video market, gives you an edge to record like a pro.
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. The ZR-930 brings you the tried and true MiniDV format at an affordable price.
