Product Description

The Elura's 12X Optical/ 48X Digital Zoom lens brings details too distant to be seen by the naked eye into clear focus. Created to fit in the palm of your hand, the Elura lets you capture and combine high-resolution video and still photos onto Mini DV videocassettes. Its 2.5" rotating view screen is perfect for capturing almost any conceivable angle or for immediate playback viewing. The Elura's three shooting modes accommodate any of your needs. Besides, the Elura uses a Progressive Scan CCD image sensor that delivers a significant improvement in performance and image quality. Each and every light gathering pixel on the CCD is used to produce a full frame video image 60 times per second. Recordings of subjects moving at high speed can be viewed on a television with superior resolution. The CCD integrates an RGB Primary Color Filter which separates light passing through the lens into individual red, green and blue color components, similar to professional camcorders. The Elura utilizes the finest method of image stabilization available. It also offers 16-bit and 12-bit audio modes, and is equipped with a DV IN/OUT terminal that conforms to IEEE 1394. In addition to being fully automatic, the Elura offers a complete range of manual controls.

I need Power Adapter for this product !

I need an Adapter ( power adapter) for CANON MV20 ( Canon DM-MV20E , it writes on the battery spot ). My cam is same as ELURA but the difference is that MV20 is" PAL System " and ELURA is on " NTSC System ". I guess that Power Adapter would be same for both types.If someone knows where could I find a product please let me know. Camera is perfect, no doubt....

Elura 2 problems

This has been one of the greatest cameras until...problems...And I have two of them! On fast re-wind they will sometimes destroy the tape. On both, I only re-wind on slow rewind. Now one will not accept a tape at all. I think someone rewound on fast and hurt the mechanism somehow. A call to Cannon did not admit that they have problems. Still trying to determine cost to fix...if possible.I am reading others on internet with Elura 40 which is similar and they are having problems with totally destroying...

Has been the best 1 CCD camera.

I do corporate & personal video production & have found the Elura to be the best 1 CCD chip video camera I have ever used.I have used about 8 1 CCD hand held cameras & the Elura's picture quality has been the best. I have been able to flawlessly edit the Elura's video in to the video taken by my Sony VX1000, which is a 3 CCD camera.Canon changed the construction & parts on later models, I've tried a couple, & the picture quality is not as good as the Elura's.My latest try is the Sony DCR-PC120BT...

Old Camera?

I bought this camera in 1999 - I thought it had been superceded by newer models but it looks like they are still selling it. You may want to check out the Canon site for details.Newer models have the ability to take hi quality still pictures as well, some with "hard" (memory stick etc.) memory so that you don't have to wait five seconds for the image to record to tape as you do with the Elura.You may also want to consider a camera with digital output other than Firewire - perhaps one with a USB...

Not a single snag......

This camera is small, but the optics are great and it does everything.All the controls are very intuitive, and I'm still discovering new things it does.I've used it snow boarding, on the beach, at a dim wedding reception and downloaded the footage/images right onto my computer. (Premiere is good)And best of all, no snags- amazing for such a complex device. Unless you absolutely must be able to change lenses (sheesh), this camera is great.joe...
