Product Description
In a sense, life is a trip. It consists of all the feelings and experiences one has from birth to death. A camcorder can help preserve life’s highlights and even perpetuate one’s existence as videos are viewed by subsequent generations. That’s a very worthy endeavor. That’s where the Canon ZR300 comes in. The ZR300 houses some of Canon’s most-advanced digital technologies in a sleek shell designed for superior ease-of-use. Featuring a high-resolution 16:9 widescreen home theatre recording mode, powerful 22x optical/440x digital zoom, and compatibility with both Windows XP and Apple Computer systems, the ZR300 camcorder is the ideal choice for chronicling the many chapters of your life. A built-in image-stabilizer helps reduce camera shake from normal hand movements for a smoother video image result. You can use the ZR300 after sunset: In SuperNight mode, the camcorder’s white LED assist lamp lights up automatically in low light conditions to provide extra illumination.
