MiniDV ZR800, ZR830 and ZR850 are affordable,

of camcorders, you also get an easy-to-read
menu system, joystick controller, Level and
Grid Markers, and Quick Start feature.
All this in pocket-sized camcorders

Dark Gray, and the ZR850’s Pearl Black. With all this stylish functionality,
it’s no surprise that capturing your precious memories is a breeze.

Your ZR800/ZR830/ZR850 camcorders come
with Genuine Canon Optics, known worldwide
by professionals and consumers alike for unsurpassed optical
performance. In addition, the ZR camcorders come equipped with
Canon’s longest zoom ever: a 35x Optical Zoom. Plus, a powerful
1000x digital zoom lets you get close to the action from even farther
away. Other features help you get the most out of the new ZRs’
impressive lenses. The image stabilizer allows you to shoot
rock-steady video, even at maximum telephoto without a tripod.
And with Canon’s smooth zoom control you’ll have three,
pre-set zoom speeds that ensure professional,

BRILLIANT VIDEO
The new ZR camcorders feature Canon’s exclusive DIGIC DV image
processor, which processes video and photos differently, resulting
in exceptional color and clarity for both. Other features make it easy
to record brilliant video. Capturing level, well-composed shots are
simple with these ZRs. Line up the horizon or other horizontal lines
with the Level Marker in the viewfinder for level landscapes. Or, use
the Grid Marker to help compose the perfect shot. Both markers can
be set to white or grey for enhanced visibility, no matter what the
background. The ZR850 even comes with a built-in video light so
you can record video that’s great — when the light isn’t.
