The stylish, big zoom digital video cameras with megapixel stills for anyone wanting a little more from their video.
MVX250i & MVX200i Digital Video Cameras
SMALL CAMERA. BIG IMAGES The MVX250i and MVX200i digital video cameras may look small and lightweight, but their features are anything but. With a powerful 1.33 Megapixel CCD and large Canon zoom lens, theyll get you close to the action, without sacrificing image quality. Add to this their DiG!C DV signal processing, high-resolution 16:9 mode and innovative Image Stabilizer technology, and youre guaranteed sharp and smooth looking footage. And with photographic functions such as the Print/Share Button, continuous shooting function and selectable AF frames, youll enjoy the functionality of a still camera, too.
HIGH QUALITY MOVIES AND SUPERB 1.33 MEGAPIXEL STILL IMAGES The MVX250i and MVX200i digital video cameras use a powerful 1.33 Megapixel CCD to deliver superior video and photo quality.
GET CLOSER TO THE ACTION The key to achieving quality digital video footage lies in the quality of the optics used to capture them. Canon has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality, professional optics. This superior quality can be seen clearly in the optical zoom lenses of the MVX250i (18x) and MVX200i (14x). Delivering superb definition and contrast, these powerful zooms extend each cameras magnification to reveal incredible details, too small to be seen by the naked eye.

FILM STEADY FOOTAGE AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON Canons innovative Image Stabilizer system instantly compensates for camera shake created when shooting hand-held, full telephoto, or on-the-move footage. In Canons digital videos, Image Stabilizer technology is particularly effective while panning and zooming, making your videos look steady and natural.
MAKE COMPOSITION AND VIEWING EVEN EASIER Use the large 2.5" colour LCD screen to compose shots with ease. Alternatively use the colour viewfinder to save power if the battery is low. Shooting can be further enhanced when using the LCD screen by tilting the screen to allow for low or high angle shots. Once youve finished shooting, the LCD screen is perfect for reviewing footage.
SHOOT WIDESCREEN FOOTAGE Record high-resolution video in the 16:9 format for playback on widescreen TVs. Unlike systems which simply record a vertically stretched picture, the MVX250i and MVX200i use the full width of the CCD, retaining image quality and providing a larger horizontal angle of view at the wide end.
EASY AND FAST PHOTO PRINTING These are the first digital video cameras to include a Print/Share Button. Direct printing and file transferring can be done easily by simply connecting to printer or PC and pressing the button.
ENJOY THE FEATURES OF A DIGITAL STILL CAMERA Take multiple shots with one press of a button. You can shoot at either five or three frames per second in SXGA size or high speed continuous shooting. The MVX250i and MVX200i also offer an Auto Exposure Bracketing function and let you select your autofocus points.
CAPTURE FOOTAGE DIRECTLY ONTO A MEMORY CARD The MVX250i and MVX200i are both SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard compatible. This gives you the capacity to shoot movie clips in Motion JPEG at 320 x 240 pixels, or at 160 x 120 pixels and ultra high quality SXGA still images (1280 x 960 pixels).
KEEP ON RECORDING, EVEN WHEN THE LIGHT FADES When in Night mode, these cameras automatically adjust exposure and sensitivity settings to bring more light into poorly lit environments, as well as retain colour. In Super Night mode, light is automatically added to a dark scene using a LED on the front of the camera (MVX250i only). In Night+ mode, this LED light can be turned off and on manually (MVX250i only).
SHOOT WITH EASE IN ANY CONDITIONS Each MVX200 series camera comes with a range of pre-programmed auto exposure modes designed to keep you shooting in almost any conditions. These modes include; Auto, Sports, Portrait, Spotlight, Sand & Snow, Low Light, Night, Night+ (MVX250i only) and Super Night mode (MVX250i only).
ENJOY GREATER CONTROL OVER CREATIVITY The fully-automatic functionality of the MVX200 series provides exceptional ease-of-use for first time users. For the more experienced users, manual controls such as manual focus, exposure, white balance and shutter speed controls allow you to push creativity and enhance results even further.
CREATE STUNNING PANORAMAS Create dramatic panoramic images using Stitch Assist mode. Uses visual references in the cameras LCD to help you line up a series of shots that can later be stitched together using the supplied PhotoStitch software.

GIVE YOUR MOVIES A CREATIVE EDGE For a creative touch, a more appealing look, or greater imaging variety, switch on one of 18 digital effects such as: Negative Picture, Art, Black & White Picture, Sepia and Mosaic.
Black & White Sepia Mosaic
COMPLEMENT MOVIES WITH SUPERIOR SOUND The MVX200 series offer two digital audio modes: 12 and 16-bit. 16-bit mode offers high-quality, CD-equivalent stereo sound, while 12-bit records four channels ideal for adding background music later on.

ENJOY MORE ACCURATE COLOUR, IN BOTH VIDEO AND STILL CAMERAS DiG!C DV makes it possible to achieve accurate colour for both video and digital photos. Since video and photos have different colour requirements, DiG!C DV utilises two different colour techniques. These maximise video quality on TV screens as well as still image quality for computer monitors and printing.
