Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 07 January, 2008: Canon launches the new MD200 series – a range of accessible MiniDV camcorders that introduce Canon’s new, powerful Advanced Zoom. Advanced Zoom combines the quality of a genuine Canon video lens with the power of the DIGIC DV processor,1 resulting in zoom ranges that extend as high as 45x magnification.

Each camcorder offers true widescreen recording, easy and intuitive operation, and the advantage of Canon’s Quick Start feature. With a number of models on offer, the MD200 series caters for a wide variety of needs – from Megapixel CCD recording to camcorders that feature a microphone input connection.
