CamcorderInfo reviews the Canon Optura 50 camcorder here. The camcorder has the following features:
* Mini DV for exceptional digital-quality in a compact size
* Genuine Canon 10x optical zoom/200x digital zoom
* 2.2-megapixel CCD with RGB Primary Color Filter for high-resolution video and photos with superior color rendition
* Optical Image Stabilizer for rock- steady video and photos
* 3-1/5Hx2-4/5Wx5-1/5L”; 1.2 lb.
The verdict?
Seeing how highly the Optura 60 scored in this year’s lineup, the Optura 50, with identical imager specs and manual control set, would not be likely to disappoint. The difference between these two camcorders, however, could make or break the Optura 50 for some users. Lacking a video assist lamp, active accessory shoe, and bigger zoom, the hundred bucks you saved by not buying the Optura 60 might not be worth it.
