Canon announces their new DVD camcorders – the DC10 and DC20 with availability in Japan and Europe (leaving USA in the dust ? )
The DC10 has a 10x zoom, 1/3.9-inch 1.3 megapixel CCD, and records MPEG-2 video to DVD, while the DC20 has a 1/4-inch 2.2 megapixel CCD, color filter, flash, and video strobe. They’ve even claim its the smallest devices of their kind in the world.
The DC20’s enhanced CCD allows it to record stills at a resolution of up to 1632 x 1224 pixels, while the DCR-DVD10 maxes out at 1280 x 960. Canon is bringing still features from their consumer camera line into their camcorder lineup, adding multi-point focusing and other metering options to the new DVD camcorders for their photo modes. The camcorders include USB 2.0 for transfering digital stills to a computer.
