Canon DV Camcorder Comparison Chart

Recording video digitally delivers remarkably better picture quality, sharper images and better color reproduction. And isn't that kind of improvement what we're always looking for? On top of that, digital copies of digital videos are indistinguishable from the original, which makes editing and image manipulation -- even at the level of the average camcorder user -- much easier and higher quality than that delivered by analog video technology.
