ProductCritic: Canon Optura 50 Reviews

EasyCamcorders.com (76)

Canon is renowned for their excellent lenses. Most of their middle and upper-end camcorders also feature the DIGIC DV processor, which uses separate color controls for video and stills. The result of all this engineering means great looking video, with very strong colors and above average crispness.

Canon’s feature-packed camcorder shoots very good daylight footage but has reason to be scared of the dark.

The Elura 50 is Canon’s upright palm-size wonder, so small that it can easily fit into most jacket pockets and purses. You hold it upright, using the 2-inch LCD or the fixed color eyepiece to frame your shot and accessing most controls with your thumb on the back panel.
