DC210 80 megapixel CCD is its entry-positioning the user’s home sign, and its accession to the "high refractive index lenses," the Canon lens but has its own advantages. DC210’s 9:00 AiAF focus system makes it a bit professional Taste, which also uses a 2.7-inch 16:9 wide LCD and widescreen viewfinder CVF, dual viewfinder and more convenient. It also adopted the new Canon DIGIC DV II digital video processor for color image effects played a better guarantee.

Canon DC100 compared with, DC210 besides USB interface and add support for more CD-ROM format, but also the basic Nothing to improve, but the price of DC210 location is relatively low, which is its biggest selling point. b, and compared with the DVD708E Sony, DC210 has become less than some, from CCD pixels to the camera, have a lot of bad, there is good electronic image stabilization technology can not compensate for the shortcomings in Optical Image Stabilizer. From Price, the price of both basic considerable. DC210 some more low-end, so prices are up a lot of relatively inexpensive, suitable choice of different users. DV discs currently available products under four brand names, the Sony products are the best, Panasonic and Canon with only Subsequently, weak compared to some of Samsung Products.

Summary

I have neither seen nor used this camera ... but I do know from researching it that it is a Standard Definition, not a High-Definition, camera; it features a "HR Widescreen" mode, and a "2.7" Wide" LCD, but, alas, it is SD.
