The Canon MV600 Mini-DV digital camcorder delivers advanced features and style while being both affordable and simple to use. It is compact and extremely comfortable to hold, with a well-designed control layout, including customisable illuminated buttons. It looks the part too and is complemented with some serious technical wizardry, including an 800 kilopixel CCD and 18x optical zoom. The 1/6" 800 kilopixel CCD facilitates high-quality digital movie footage, plus good quality still images. The photo button can be used to store digital stills onto tape, which you can later transfer. Unlike the Canon MV650i, it doesn't have the convenience of an MMC card slot. This camcorder also features a high-performance two-sided aspheric Canon lens with optical 18x / digital 360x zoom.
This model has a DV-out (FireWire) socket, making it an ideal camcorder for those wanting to edit their footage on a home computer. The camera's Multi Architecture Camera System helps achieve optimal image settings for movies and stills. Additional features include night mode, programmed auto exposure, advanced in-camera editing and much more.
The Canon MV600 comes with a remote control, two AA batteries, lens cap and lens cap cord, shoulder strap, Lithium button battery, BP-512 battery pack, CA-570 compact power adapter, STV-250N stereo video cable, PC-A10 SCART adapter and digital video solution software disc.
The MV600 offers exceptional value for money. Those looking for DV-in may want to consider the Canon MV600i, but whatever option you go for you'll end up with a great camcorder. --Nick Baxter
