Widescreen-ready
In true 16:9 recording mode, the MV890 captures eye-catching widescreen video. Designed with wide shooting in mind, the camcorder has a 2.7" 16:9 LCD screen as well as a colour viewfinder, meaning that video is even monitored in the way it will appear on a widescreen TV set. It's also easy to line images up properly using the LCD's level marker, while 4:3 shooting can be selected at the push of a button.

22x optical zoom
The MV890's high power lens has a 22x optical zoom with Electronic Image Stabilization and variable zoom speeds, for pinpoint accuracy.

At the touch of a button, the camcorder switches the most important shooting controls to automatic, allowing you to concentrate on catching all of the action. With a simplified control layout, there are just six buttons to learn how to use.

Easy handling and a compact design
Sporting a distinctive blue metallic finish, the MV900 is designed with easy handling in mind. Weighing just 380g, the camcorder is perfectly balanced, providing effortless and comfortable handheld shooting.

Convenient sliding lens cover
The lens is the most important part of any camcorder and thanks to the MV890's built-in sliding lens cover you'll never have to worry about it getting damaged.

Mic input
With an external microphone plugged-in to the MV890, it's easy to capture all of the party atmosphere as well as to record your own voiceovers, explaining what's going on.
