Canon DC22 DVD Camcorder

CamcorderInfo has a review up of the Canon DC22 camcorder and concludes, “It easily topped the comparatively priced DVD camcorders from other manufacturers in bright light video testing. Low light proved to be a problem area – an important flaw to consider for any consumer. But the small form factor of the DC22 and relative simplicity of the DVD medium will be a big draw for some people. Our big complaints are as follows. DVD camcorders still fail to record as long as MiniDV tapes in highest quality. … Secondly, the DC22 has no mic input, and the built-in mic will not cut it for high-quality home movies. Third, the viewfinder is so small and uncomfortable; it’s hard to understand why they included it. The LCD is widescreen, but a 123K resolution is pretty low. … The upsides: good bright light performance, a decent manual control array, good still photo quality, and a high degree of portability. We wouldn’t be surprised if this became a very popular model for Canon this holiday season.”
