Widescreen camcorder from Canon

Now that square TVs are on the way out, the leading camcorder suppliers are finally making moves to bring out widescreen models that won’t break the bank. Canon’s offering is the DC100 DVD which records straight onto blank, mini DVD discs. It records in 16:9 widescreen that will playback properly on your widescreen TV without any of the weird stretching seen when playing back current 4:3 recordings in widescreen. Even better, you can switch between 16:9 and 4:3 format recording. It also features a 25x optical zoom with image stabilisation and variable zoom speeds. There’s a 2.7in LCD – also widescreen - and the DC100 uses 3in DVD-R/-RW discs, which can store up to 60 minutes of video or 120 minutes on a double sided disc. Due out in May, pricing has yet to be announced but Canon is aiming this at the entry-level market so it shouldn’t hurt too much. More details here.
