All camcorders also boast a 25x optical zoom, with variable zoom speeds for increased control, and DIGIC DV processing.

A powerful zoom
All MV900 series camcorders are equipped with a powerful 25x optical zoom with Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS). The MV960 also features an enhanced 1000x digital zoom, while an 800x digital zoom is available on MV930 and MV901 models. The MV890 features a 22x optical and 700x digital zoom. For even greater control, all camcorders offer variable zoom speeds.

DIGIC DV as standard
For the first time, all of Canon’s entry level miniDV camcorders employ the DIGIC DV? image processor. DIGIC DV provides MV960 and MV930 models with separate processing paths for video and still images (saved to Memory Card), and all models benefit from optimised colour reproduction, ensuring that both video footage and still photographs remain faithful to the shooting subject.

Form and Function
The entire MV900 series and the MV890 have been substantially re-designed, improving on both the balance and the handling of the MV800 series. The models have distinctive, eye-catching colour schemes: silver metallic (MV960), snow silver (MV930) or silver (MV890 and MV901).

At just 115 x 92 x 49mm, and weighing just 380g, the new camcorders combine form and function. Key functions are controlled via six convenient buttons and a joystick controller. An Easy shooting mode is available, switching all the important settings to automatic at the touch of a single button.

Key features
The high specification MV900 and MV890 series feature:
- High resolution widescreen shooting
- 25x (MV900) and 22x (MV890) optical zoom with variable zoom speeds
- DIGIC DV processor on all models
- Night Mode with White LED for recording in low light conditions (MV960 only)
- Electronic Image Stabiliser (EIS)
- Wireless controller for remote operation of camcorder functions (MV960 only)
- DV and AV input, allowing digital and analogue footage to be recorded to miniDV tape in the camcorder (MV960 only)

The MV900 series replaces the MV800 series and is designed as an easy-to-use and affordable family camcorder. It combines a range of features, including widescreen shooting and 25x optical zoom, in an attractive overall package.
