Product Specifications

The view from the top! Canon's new ES8200V Hi8 camcorder is the top of its class. The top-quality Canon zoom lens, large color LCD viewscreen, top notch feature set and your imagination are perfect partners for capturing stunning video wherever you go. The view from the top has always been the best, now the ES8200V makes it better. The ES8200V's powerful 22x zoom lens transforms distant scenes into dramatic close-ups with absolutely no loss of image quality.
