Canon Exclusive- Genuine Canon 41X Advanced Zoom
The Genuine Canon 41x Advanced Zoom on the ZR900 is just the kind of exclusive Canon feature you've come to expect from the leader in imaging and optics. Advanced Zoom extends the power of your zoom and is the longest zoom Canon has ever offered. In both wide angle and telephoto positions, there is virtually no loss in image quality throughout the range. How is this accomplished? With a Genuine Canon lens which remains in constant motion through the entire extended zoom range aided by our proprietary DIGIC DV image processor.
The ZR900 offers you more flexibility to get just the shot you need by giving you the choice of Advanced Zoom in default mode or you can select a 37x Optical Zoom or 2000x Digital Zoom. You will always be able to get the shot you need, no matter how close or far away and always with the quality you expect from Canon.
Optical Performance You Can See
The name Canon is synonymous with optical excellence the world over. Brilliant optical quality is part of every Canon broadcast TV lens, 35mm film camera, digital camera and camcorder -- and the ZR900 is no exception. It gives you clear, vibrant and brilliant video.
Image Stabilizer
The ZR900's image stabilizer allows you to shoot rock-steady video -- even at maximum telephoto without a tripod -- for more professional-looking video.
Brilliant Video - DIGIC DV
The new ZR900 features Canon's exclusive DIGIC DV image processor, which results in exceptional color and clarity in your video.
Canon camcorders use the entire width of the image sensor to capture video in true 16:9 format. With more pixels captured, you get better image quality. Some competitors' camcorders force the wider picture into a smaller space on the sensor -- giving you a less true image, with fewer pixels and lower quality.
In addition, the large 2.7" LCD screen and .35" color viewfinder on your ZR900 displays your widescreen image in a letterbox view and makes it easier to see all that you're shooting. From side to side and top to bottom, what you see is what you get. Either way, there isn't the guessing or extra work in looking at an image that's distorted like a fun house mirror.
The microphone terminal on the ZR900 makes it especially useful for educators and trainers to carefully capture the audio they need to make most effective use of the video they shoot. It's also handy when you want to more easily record a live narration for your footage.
All this comes together to deliver brilliant video that you can easily share with family and friends. Easy to use, great looking and terrific value- it's the perfect choice for capturing all of life's precious memories.
