List of Canon camcorders

[1] The camera was also used by the character Freddie Benson on the TV show iCarly, to shoot the in-universe webshow.

Some of these include: The camera also has 2 XLR inputs in the back, as well as the capability to add 2 more with an adapter that plugs into the accessory shoe.

The XL H1 was shipped by Canon in one of two basic configurations, aiming the unit at either NTSC or PAL markets.

A modification was available from a Canon Authorised Service Centre to make a single unit capable of both sets of systems, allowing users to switch "personality" through an on-screen menu selection.

The form factor of the cameras is a close successor to the Canon GL2, with the newer HDV models being slightly larger and heavier.

The cameras were marketed towards independent and documentary filmmakers, and for broadcasters and journalists for electronic news gathering.

Both cameras share the same basic design and body, though the XH G1 is geared towards professional multi-camera production and includes connections for HD-SDI/SD-SDI Out, genlock, and time code.

CCDs are the image sensor technology used in the camera with a resolution of 1440 × 1080 in high definition Mode.

[5]Customizations to the image on the camera include gamma, knee, black levels, color gain, and sharpness settings.

Updated features include acceleration/deceleration control of the zoom, separate audio sensitivity settings for the two input XLR audio channels and the ability to simultaneously record sound from the input and external microphone.

Instead, sensors measure the movement of the rings and electronically drive the lens through built-in motors allowing for smoother operation and more feedback telling the user exactly what focal range, aperture f-number and zoom number the lens is set to.

The lens thread supports 72 mm filters and adapters such as fisheye and wide-angle lenses.

Modern devices such as the Letus35 also allow for 35 mm lenses to be attached providing a very shallow depth of field and create a more "film" like feel which is often desired by many amateur film makers and allows for even greater operational flexibility of the XH A1.

Part of their high-end, "prosumer" range, notable features include zebra patterning, colour gain, phase and sharpness.

It also includes such features as 31⁄4″ CCDs, manual and auto focus and white balance, and the ability to attach a wide variety of accessories, making it popular with amateur and independent filmmakers.

While this was entirely in the overscan area of broadcast television, the improvement is visible in conversions to film and in video distributed on the web.

When held in the hands, the Canon DV 012 is a sturdy camcorder that imparts a heavy feeling of ruggedness.

The MVX100i also has the ability to take still pictures that can be saved to an SD memory card and can record video in long and short play.

The terminal features sockets for headphones, external microphones, analogue-in, direct print, AV and S-video, and the video is captured to a computer via either FireWire or USB.

[12] The MVX250i (as it is known in Europe), or the Elura 70 (as it is known in North America), is a digital video camera manufactured under the Canon brand.

[14] The Canon L2, LX-1T (in Japan), or EX2Hi (in Europe), is the successor to the L1, but is nearly identical in all but a few features such as the addition of time codes and shuttle-ring-equipped remote control.

[15] The Canon HV10 is a consumer high definition video (HDV) camcorder released in September 2006.

In Europe, the camcorder is called the HV10E and features PAL DV recording in addition to HDV 1080i50 mode.

In PAL regions, it can record in native 25p mode and as such does not require the same pull-down removal techniques that the NTSC edition does.

In the NTSC version, it is the first consumer-grade camcorder to shoot 1080p30 video in addition to PF24 24fps mode that was pioneered by its predecessor, the HV20.

A SDHC card with the capacity of 16 GB can hold up to 2 hours of video recorded at highest quality setting.

One 4 GB card can fit roughly 30 minutes of video at highest quality setting (FXP).

[27] Marketed as a better "prosumer" camera with improved optics and sensor to replace HF S series.

They have a dual SDHC/SDXC slot, 58mm filter ring, LANC remote jack, clean HDMI output and improved low light performance.

Compact Mini-DV camcorders that have a hefty price tag (First Canon ZR was 198,000 yen approx.
