Technically clever, brilliantly simple

Canon's engineers have always abided by the rule that technology has no purpose unless it can be put to good use. That is why the MV730i camcorder works straight out of the box. You won't need a PhD in systems theory to get started - just turn it on and start shooting.
Style that works
The compact size and slim, ergonomic palm design feels as easy in the hand as it is to use. Buttons controlling all important features fall right beneath your fingertips, and you will be delighted by the wide proportions of the colour LCD. Menu navigation is intuitive, uncomplicated and available in 8 languages.

Zoom on in
Sitting just beneath the surface to await the more adventurous is a generously specified camcorder with a raft of advanced features. A remarkably high ratio 20x optical / 400x combined zoom means you will never be too far from the action, while shooting in low light conditions is no problem thanks to 'Night Mode'. There are eighteen creative modes to choose from.

Emotional response
The MV730i camcorder includes Image Stabilization to keep the action steady without a tripod and a 1/6" high resolution CCD sensor for sharp images. The camera features DIGIC DV, a dedicated DV processor that raises the bar on image quality, recreating ‘emotional’ colours, tones and details to deliver images we humans love and remember: Redder apples, greener grass, bluer skies and warmer and more realistic skin tones.

Direct Print
Capture digital still images with 'Progressive Photo System' technology. The MV730i even gives you the ability to capture stills whilst shooting video footage, and storing these direct to either MMC or SD memory cards. A mechanical shutter provides true digital still camera functionality, eliminating the blur that plagues conventional camcorders. The vendor independent PictBridge standard is supported, allowing for PC-less direct printing to any PictBridge compatible printer.


Motion-JPEG
Motion-JPEG files record direct to either MMC or SD memory cards for easy internet sharing. Up to 60 minutes of either QVGA or QQVGA formats can be recorded straight to card or copied to card from DV tape.

Analogue Digital Converter
The MV730i includes an Analogue/Digital converter and Analogue In port to allow input of signals from analogue devices to be converted in-camera and stored digitally to miniDV format.
