Canon's top of the line standard definition MiniDV camcorder for 2008, the 'PAL' 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.
