Product Description

 
Along with the 2.2 Megapixel CCDs, Canon is strongly pushing the still features of the new camcorders. Particularly emphasized are Canon's set of photo features which they label DV Photo Plus.

Both camcorders come with a built-in flash, a continuous shooting mode, selectable focus points, auto exposure bracketing, and a photo review feature.
