Optical Image Stabilizer - Say Goodbye to Unsteady, Out of Focus Images In the Optura 50, Canon utilizes the finest method of image stabilization available: optical. Canon's lens design includes a dedicated optical element which shifts up and down and side to side based on motion, so your video always looks smooth, steady, and natural. Whether you are shooting handheld at telephoto or from a moving vehicle, Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer effectively handles unwanted vibration. And since it's optical, there is no loss of image quality -- inevitable with electronic image stabilizers. Optical Image Stabilization is even effective in photo mode, allowing your digital photos to be as crisp as possible. 2.2 Megapixel Performance - One of the reasons the Optura 50 delivers stunningly vivid and sharp video and still (1632 X 1224) images is the 2.2 Megapixel CCD -- one of the DV Photo Plus technologies that ensure outstanding results.

Some camcorders achieve widescreen by simply eliminating part of the image at the top and bottom of the standard 4:3 image, thereby wasting a portion of the CCD's resolution and image-gathering capability. In comparison, the Optura 50's true widescreen capability squeezes a 16:9 image into the full CCD. When this image is unsqueezed and displayed on your widescreen TV, you get a 16:9 image without losing any of the resolving power of the camcorder's Megapixel CCD. And, widescreen video is easy with the Optura 50 because your camcorder's LCD sc
