Both the MVX460 and MVX450 use powerful DIGIC DV processing, providing separate signal paths for video and stills to ensure optimal image reproduction for each. In conjunction with 1.3 Megapixel imaging, an impressive 20x
optical zoom ensures that images, whether recorded in widescreen or normal mode, are crisp and clear. While both camcorders share the same technology base, the range-leading MVX460 adds DV and AV input to the features list. With DV input, video that has been edited on a computer can be re-recorded back to miniDV tape in
the camcorder. Meanwhile, AV input is a perfect way to transfer old analogue home movies to digital tape for archiving. Widescreen
While all it takes is the push of a single button to switch between 16:9 widescreen and 4:3 shooting, a new 2.7” wide colour LCD screen allows users to monitor their video exactly as it will appear on a TV screen: since all of the horizontal pixels of the
CCD are used in 16:9 mode, footage shot this way is ideal for playback on the very latest widescreen TVs. Even when watching these images back on a regular TV, however, a letterbox style presentation provides the viewer with a cinematic widescreen-style
experience. Processing power
DIGIC DV has separate paths for both video and stills image processing: colours are reproduced faithfully whether you’re watching movies on a TV or printing out photographs from a Memory Card via PictBridge. Along with high resolution 1.3 Megapixel
imaging, both camcorders not only shoot great video but also capture still images that are clear and sharp. 20x optical zoom
A powerful 20x optical zoom lens with Electronic Image Stabilisation features variable zoom speeds, allowing more flexible control. Canon’s Super Spectra coating is used to reduce ghosting and flare. When optical and digital zooms are combined, both the
MVX460 and MVX450 achieve 800x zoom range. Easy to operate
Control of camcorder functions has been simplified: a re-designed and intuitive menu system is navigated using a convenient four-way joystick controller. In addition, both the MVX460 and MVX450 can also be operated via a wireless controller and feature
Night Mode with a built-in white LED light for shooting in the dark. For still images, recorded onto SD Memory Card, both camcorders have a Print/Share button: it’s easy to print directly to a PictBridge compatible printer, or upload images to a PC, at
the touch of a button. MVX460
The top-of-the-range MVX460 features an AV input jack, for analogue to digital conversion, and DV input, for re-recording footage uploaded to a PC for editing back to a tape in the camcorder. The MVX460 also comes supplied with a 0.75x wide lens
attachment. MVX460 and MVX450 range features include: - Bold new design
- High resolution widescreen recording with widescreen LCD
- 1.3 Megapixel with 1/5.5” CCD and still image capture, stored on Memory Card
