Canon ZR200

Manufacturer's Description

Whether it's your first island vacation or baby's first steps, you can trust Canon's ZR200 to preserve every moment with spectacular color, clarity and detail. Part of the new line in ZR digital camcorders, the ZR200 combines all the style and great looks of the ZR100 with a variety of enhanced digital features. Compatible with both Windows XP and Apple Computer systems, the ZR200 features Canon's advanced DIGIC DV system, a 20x Optical Zoom/360x Digital Zoom lens, and a versatile SD Memory Card/MultiMedia Card slot. Want to give your movies a touch of Hollywood style? The ZR200 gives you the ability to shoot true widescreen photos and videos thanks to its high-resolution 16:9 widescreen recording mode. You'll also get the advantage of Canon's world-renowned expertise in photography and broadcast television with every video and photo you take. Stylish, versatile and affordable, the ZR200 is a welcome addition to all of your life's most vibrant moments.

Leave Your Options Open By Shooting Video And Photos
Simplify your life by having the best of digital video and digital photo worlds in one streamlined device. The ZR200 gives you the ability to take high-resolution XGA quality (1024 x 768 pixel) digital photos onto a memory card while recording stunning video.

The secret behind Canon's renowned video and photo image quality is the DIGIC DV system. DIGIC DV utilizes two different color techniques to maximize video quality for viewing on TVs and still image quality for print or computer display. Since the ZR200 also features 16-bit Digital PCM audio and audio-dubbing capabilities, you can be confident that your memories will not only look great, but sound great as well.

For added flexibility, you can take up to 700 still images on a single MiniDV tape (in SP Mode). The camcorder records the photos for approximately 6 seconds, as well as recording the sound for your verbal notes or narration. There is even a Photo Review button for quick appraisal of your captured images.

Let Genuine Canon Optics Worry About The Details
Canon is known the world over for its vast expertise in designing and crafting precision lenses for 35mm and broadcast TV cameras. That same expertise goes into the ZR200's 20x Optical Zoom / 360x Digital Zoom lens, giving you the power to capture vibrant videos and photos. Now you can enjoy that summer outing, first-year birthday party or family reunion, with the confidence that your Canon digital camcorder won't miss a single detail.

Shoot Widescreen Videos For Your Home Theater System
Get more of the action into every shot thanks to the ZR200's high-resolution 16:9 widescreen recording mode. Typically reserved for more expensive camcorder models, the 16:9 widescreen feature allows you to record true widescreen videos and photos for playback on home Theater systems.
For enhanced accessibility, a Widescreen Button makes it easy to switch from the standard 4:3 mode to 16:9 Widescreen Mode. You'll also see exactly what you are shooting thanks to the 2.4" LCD screen's letterbox-style display.

The 16:9 widescreen feature is available in both Program Mode and Easy Recording Mode, and can be used in conjunction with the camcorder's advanced image stabilization.

Treat Yourself To The Ultimate In Style And Functionality
Sporting a high metal finish, the ZR200 combines sleek design with sophisticated usability. Smaller in depth and lighter by 2 oz than previous ZR models, the ZR200 takes on a seamless, fluid appearance with a reduced gap between lens and viewfinder.

Enhanced design features include:
New Program Selector - Located beside the LCD display, the Program Selector makes it easy to quickly switch modes.

Finger Rest - Located on the upper side of the grip, the finger rest improves stability while shooting.

Easy Operation Buttons - PLAY and STOP buttons are now independent, while the FF and RW buttons are located together, improving usability by preventing accidental pressing of the wrong button.

Oval Grip - An oval-shaped grip located on the top of the lens improves shooting comfort while adding a touch of style.

Flat Zoom Lever - The brand new flat zoom lever not only makes for stress-free zooming, but also helps reduce the physical size of the camcorder.

Slim Operation Switch - For increased miniaturization, the ZR camcorders feature an innovative Slim Operation Switch.

Keep Your Eye On The Ball Even In Bright Light
No more squinting into the LCD display of a camcorder during the little league championships. That's because the ZR200 camcorder features an innovative backlight feature that boosts the display's brightness by 250%. Simply press the LCD Backlight button for improved visibility even during the peak of a sunny summer's day.

Bring Your Analog Memories Into The World Of Digital
Once you own a ZR-series digital camcorder, an entire world of move- and still-image making possibilities opens up as a result of its MiniDV format (a worldwide industry standard). But what about those older analog videotape memories? Canon makes updating them to digital a breeze with its advanced Analog/Digital Converter technology.

Simply connect your TV or VCR to the ZR camcorder's Analog Line-in/Converter and record every priceless moment directly to DV tape. You can even convert the analog signal into a digital signal for direct transfer to digital video devices or computers equipped with an IEEE1394 terminal*.

It's all thanks to Canon's exclusive connection circuit, called VIC. VIC is a virtual powerhouse. Traditionally, multiple chips were needed to perform the camcorder's input and output functions. However VIC manages it all with one single chip. The result is seamless connectivity whether you are connecting to a computer, TV, or VCR.

*The Analog to Digital Converter may not function depending on the software used.

Don't Miss Out On Capturing Low-Light Moments
Shooting indoors with minimal light? No problem. The ZR200 features a Night Mode specifically designed to capture those important low-light memories. Once selected, the Night Mode automatically boosts the sensitivity of the CCD and lowers the shutter speed to help brighten the subject.

Take Advantage Of True Digital Connectivity
It couldn't be easier to transfer your digital movies to your computer's hard disk, edit your scenes, and then use them to create high impact Web sites, video e-mail, interactive CDs and DVDs, or a personal video album. That's because the ZR200 features a USB Terminal and DV Terminal (IEEE 1394 or Firewire) for effortless transfer of your memories without any loss in quality.

SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard
For convenient storage and portability of your still images, the ZR200 also features an additional built-in slot for SD (Secure Digital) Memory Cards or a MultiMediaCards.

Normal and Motion JPEG Extended Movies
Record movie clips in Normal and Motion JPEG Extended movie formats directly onto the memory card, for clear images and smooth playback. Alternately, you can take the 320 x 240 pixel or 160 x 120 pixel mini-movie and attach it to an e-mail or post it on the web. Best of all, you can record for the full length of the SD Memory Card*.

* Max. 60 minutes (512MB SD Memory Card). When using MultiMediaCards, movie clips are limited to 10 seconds in 320 x 240 and 30 seconds in 160 x 120.

Picture Transfer Protocol
The ZR200 goes even further to make life simple by supporting Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). PTP enables data communication with a computer without the need to install dedicated driver software. In other words, PTP creates a direct link with the computer to access the camcorder as though it was
