Although Canon continues to deliver with manual control options - the video performance, low light performance and audio performance are less than desirable on the MiniDV Optura 200MC digital camcorder, MSRP $1,699. With this ''upgrade'' Canon has done...

Canon Optura 200MC: Big Movies from a Small Video Camera

 

Thanks to the small size and form factor of MiniDV videotape, video camcorders are tinier than ever. The Optura 200MC is Canon's latest entry into the "micro video" market and, as with previous mini models from Canon, the 200MC delivers good quality...

Finally, the Optura is also equipped with a MMC (Multimedia card) slot that can accept any standard MMC or Secure Digital card. These are the same types of cards that you might already be using in your Palm Pilot, and the Optura uses these cards to...

Canon Optura 200MC Mini DV

 

After several months of use, I have grown attached to my Optura 200MC. The digital still camera takes acceptable 1.33MP stills, has a pop-up flash and an SD card slot. Since most of my pictures end up on the web or in 3x5 prints, the resolution is ...

Lightweight, usable, crisp shots, flash for stills

Short battery life, night mode is a joke

Great quality camcorder

 

I use this camcorder mainly to film skydives. It is very sturdy and has tons of features that as a matter of fact I don't need. It has a build in flash that actually does something. It’s small and light and those two features are essential when you...

Sturdy, tons of features, light

Good Value camera

 

Well, I finally lashed out and got me a digital video camera. After way too much research, I settled on the Canon MVX2i (Australian Model)(=Optura 200 in the U.S.)

Ideal travel DVcamera. Lightweight. Comfortable. Intuitive interface. Image stabiliser excellent.Good software bundle. Quality stills.

SD memory card too small. Could do with a wider lens.
