Canon Optura 200MC Is the Camcorder For Me

bymizgnomer Jul 19, 2003
79 Helpfuls 80 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 1.33 Megapixel CCD
Cons Lots of buttons
Recommended it? Yes

After we finally decided that we could no longer live without a digital camcorder, we were able to narrow down the choices fairly quickly. We wanted good quality picture and pass-through capability (more on that below), among other features. Our final decision was between the Canon Optura 200MC and... Read full review »

Canon Optura 200MC Mini DV

byCerretani Dec 31, 2003
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lightweight, usable, crisp shots, flash for stills
Cons Short battery life, night mode is a joke
Recommended it? Yes

After several months of use, I have grown attached to my Optura 200MC. The digital still camera takes acceptable 1.33MP stills, has a pop-up flash and an SD card slot. Since most of my pictures end up on the web or in 3x5 prints, the resolution is fine. Downloading to PC is easy via USB or IEEE1394... Read full review »

After several weeks of MiniDV camcorder research, I purchased the Canon Optura 600. I compared this camcorder to the Sony PC1000 and the Sony DCR-HC90 and the Optura 600 was a hands down winner.

To better explain my review, let me provide you the items I was looking for to qualify my... Read full review »

I have to be honest with you, I am a bit of a quality freak when it comes to video...Searching and searching for the longest time to find something that would offer me the clearest crisp video that I could "stick in my pocket". I have always found the matchbook camcorder to be the most portable, I... Read full review »
