Powerful Canon 25x zoom lens High resolution 800k pixel CCD and DiG!C DV for outstanding image quality Stylish and compact, designed for simple operation 2.7" Widescreen LCD and Real Widescreen recording for breathtaking playback Shoots photos to SD card

The MV940 typifies what we've come to expect from Canon cameras here at Digital Home. Combining state-of-the-art technology with a high level of user friendliness it's the perfect way to make movies out of your memories.

The Canon design team has made great strides in eliminating the recurrent problems of handheld cameras. The MV940's selectable zoom feature eliminates the jerky "amateur video" zoom effect of other camcorders, giving a professional touch to your footage. Its Canon video lens incorporates a double sided Aspherical element into its design, maintaining optimal colour balance and minimizing distortion. As with many of Canon's handheld cameras the MV940 also features a brilliant Image Stabilizer function that stops your zoom shots being ruined by shaky hand movements. Add to this a built-in sliding lens cover to protect the precious lens and you have a camera that is capable of capturing stunning footage in absolutely anyone's hands.

Everything about the MV940 has been designed to be as straightforward to use as possible. Its viewfinder is a full colour 2.7 inch Widescreen LCD that folds out so you can see exactly what you're doing. Maximum visibility is assured even in particularly dark or light environments by its brightness adjustment function. On the screen itself, a re-designed icon menu system and joystick make it easier than ever to access the menu functions, start playback and control important factors like focus and exposure. It even features a horizontal marker and centre indicator on the LCD to help you avoid shooting crooked video.

To help you avoid shooting boring video the MV940 offers a Real Widescreen recording mode. Not only does this give you outstanding image quality, but it also gives your footage a real cinematic touch, especially when viewed on a widescreen television, monitor or flat panel. If you don't have a widescreen TV don't worry, you'll just see it in letter-box mode. Switching from 4:3 mode to 16:9 widescreen is as simple as pushing a button. Now that's simple.

Without a doubt, the jewel in the crown of the MV940 is its amazing 25 x optical zoom lens. Enhanced by a DIG!C DV signal processor and 800K pixel CCD, the picture quality you can achieve is simply stunning. Get exceptionally close to your subject and record subtle nuances and details beyond what the human eye could see, then go in up to 800x closer with the integrated digital zoom. If the moment you capture is so incredible you want to keep it forever then remember that the MV940 also takes still shots. In fact, it can take still shots even while shooting continuously. It's amazing to think that camera's like this are now widely available.  We've certainly come a long way in a short amount of time.

The list of extensive features of the MV940 also encompasses:

• 10 unique recording modes for different shooting conditions including Easy, P (program), Portrait, Sports, Night, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Spotlight, and Fireworks
 • A complete range of 18 creative digital effects including digital faders and effects
• Progressive Photo Mode for capture to memory card at 1024 x 768 pixels
• DV line in/out function for lossless duplication and transfer to computers for non linear editing

What's more it comes with a huge range of standard accessories, including all the necessary cables and software, a battery and battery pack, compact power adapter and a smart little shoulder strap. If all that just isn’t enough, you can customise it with a range of optional accessories that include a battery charger and a variety of soft carrying cases.

The Canon MV940 is a high quality camcorder that's a joy to use. Digital Home has it in stock now priced at just $538.00.
