Enjoy the Optical Brilliance with the Canon DC 220!
Introduction:
Apparently, an upgrade to its earlier sibling the DC 210, the DC 220 is a camcorder that is studded with the convenience of DVD in unison with the optical brilliance of the Canon. Shoot and record the footage directly onto a DVD or a DVD-R DL (dual layer) discs and enjoy watching it with your family with this simple camcorder.
Features:
For an entry-level camcorder, the features embedded in the DC 220 are a little high, raising the quality as well as the expectations of the user. The Quick start feature enables you to save power by keeping the camcorder in the stand-by mode when not using. With the simultaneous recording feature, you need not miss capturing your favorite shots just because you are in the middle of a video. You can take pictures even when the camcorder is busy recording a video. A wide array of 17 languages is embedded in this device for the convenience of the user. Choose your choice of language from the exhaustive list to enjoy your display.
Pros:
· With the 35x optical zoom in your kitty, shooting the distant objects is a breeze like never before.
· Capture still images with a bevy of photo effects and focus features and record them onto a mini SD card or a DVD. To take print outs of your still images just connect the camcorder to any printer that is compatible with PictBridge and your pictures will be ready in a matter of seconds.
· When excellent audio accompanies the great footage, you wouldn’t want anything more right! For this, the DC 220 comes equipped with the Dolby Digital Stereo to make your home videos sound professional all the way.
Cons:
· The camcorder renders poor still images, not exactly what you expect from a Canon product.
· Footage looks horribly grainy when shot in low light environment.
· The strap offered for grip looks feeble.
Pricing Range:
Pay just $358.00 to make this DVD camcorder yours!
Final Verdict:
The DC 220 not only looks similar but also performs in a more similar fashion like its predecessor the DC 210. One thing the would-be buyer should keep in mind is that, this camcorder would suffice the shooting needs of a beginner and not a serious professional. Its features and performance are in line with its price so it should not be a deterrent for many.
