DiGIC DV MV850i

With its 22x optical zoom, DiGIC DV and 'Easy' mode, the MV850i combines quality with point-and-shoot simplicity. Integrating 16:9 widescreen mode, image stabilization and digital still capability.

Effortless and relevant
When designing the MV850i, Canon's engineers followed a simple maxim: for a technology to be worth having it must be both simple and useful. Features should only be available if they help you get that great shot, not cause you to miss it.

Easy mode
Go straight to full automatic shooting by switching on 'Easy' mode and within seconds of turning on your new camcorder you'll be capturing quality footage. An ergonomic design provides fingertip access to all key functions via carefully positioned controls. Menu navigation is intuitive, uncomplicated and available in 8 languages.

Wide Screen
For a real cinemaphotographic effect, the MV850i has high-resolution 16:9 mode for widescreen video. The 0.6x wide converter lens included in the box gives your images an even more panoramic feel.

Discrete and compact
At just 5cm wide, the compact body fits snugly in the palm of a hand. Despite its small size, the MV850i features a generous 2.4" colour LCD screen.

Quality lens, quality results
No matter where you are, or in what lighting conditions you are shooting, you need never miss out on those important details. 60 years of lens development give rise to a powerful 22x optical zoom with exceptional contrast and clarity. A razor sharp 1/6" CCD delivers high fidelity images even at the strongest magnifications. Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) keeps your footage steady and makes hand held shooting rock-solid.

You can even shoot when there is no light at all using Super Night mode with the built in White LED.

Natural results
Canon's DiGIC DV processor translates what the camcorder 'sees' into warm, vibrant tones that we love to watch. Grasses are greener, skies are bluer, skin tones warm and realistic.

Digital camera built in
The camcorder's true digital still functionality begins with a mechanical shutter, for blur-free photos worthy of a spot in any album. The MV850i connects to any PictBridge compatible photo printer to create quality photo prints without the need to first download to PC. JPEGs and up to 60 minutes1 of Motion JPEG are stored direct on MMC or SD memory cards.
