Ergonomically well designed
Good colors
No touch-screen
Needs to be attached to a power source to finalize discs
Doesn't have night vision

Sony has been a clear winner in this space for a long time. And truly speaking there is little initiative save for some half-assed scramble to somehow make it in the same space. Here we have the Canon DC230 Camcorder that is quite similar to most in this space, but comes with its fair share of drawbacks. Let me show you how.

Design
The DC230 is a bit on the heavy side weighing 405g, however, the body is like a regular MiniDV camcorder with dimensions of 54 x 90 x 128 mm. Yet it's quite comfortable to simply slip your palms through the strap, and the carry it around. What I like is that all the functional buttons are easily accessible with your right hand thumb. This includes the On/Off slider that also changes modes, the navigational thumbstick that also acts like the Set button, and other functional buttons.


The screen swivels (like other camcorders) and has play/stop and forward/rewind buttons at the bottom. The screen is a 2.7-inch wide screen LCD displaying up to 123,000 pixels. The absence of a touch-screen feature puts me off, since mostly all camcorders in this category come with one. You will need to work with the thumbstick, function buttons etc. to get to anywhere. This just doesn’t work for me.


The camcorder, does however, have an internal sliding lens cover. This works better than the external one. The speakers are situated right below the cover, with stereo output. A small compartment beside the screen houses the Memory slot and AV out jack.

My brother recently gifted this camcorder to me and my fiance. My experience with the product is not bad.The movie quality is excellent and the colors are really true. The optics are at the best in performance. The still images were also excellent if the slight jerks would have been avoided, so I recommend the camera stand for capturing still images with this camera. Obviously the object details are not so encouraging but you can not expect more than this at this economy. I faced one problem, the DVD can not be finalized in the camera, and the care center of Canon India in my city directed me to contact Mumbai office or Gurgaon main office, else from my city the camera has to send to the same repairing cente. Fortunatly unfinalized DVD can be played in computer with additional codecs.
