Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Hi8 video format offers the highest quality outside of digital, and the Canon ES65 offers a number of great features for its low price. Digital image stabilization works with the 22x optical zoom lens to provide a clear, steady image, and a built-in video light provides illumination in dark shooting environments.

To help ensure that you get the quality footage you want, Canon has included a number of preset shooting modes. These modes will automatically adjust the settings of your camcorder for a variety of shooting situations. There is also an additional set of special effects available during both recording and playback that will help add a little flavor to your movies. These effects include black-and-white, sepia, mirror, and mosaic, among others. Included in the package are an A/V cable, power adapter, shoulder strap, and battery pack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal, July 23, 2001

This camera has a dial for different types of shots, which makes it simple. It also has fun special features like black and white. It doesn't have a light, but I was suprised how well low light footage comes out. For those who aren't ready to go high tech. or don't want to spend a lot of money, it's a great buy.
