Don't let the compact build fool you — inside, the Elura 60 is a digital imaging powerhouse! This hand-friendly camcorder is packing stellar Canon optics, the famous DIGIC DV processor, and a powerful 1.33-megapixel CCD. What you get is stunning, full-resolution Mini DV video and crisp digital photos, all with impressive color accuracy.

That's not all. Want to zoom in on the lovely couple at the altar, from the back of the room? 14X optical zoom gets you there. Image Stabilization reduces the effects of hand shake, for video that's smooth and watchable. Another cool perk is Night Mode, for low-light shooting without sacrificing color. Whether you're sixteen or sixty-five, Canon's Skin Detail function is much appreciated: in close-ups of people, it smoothes out blemishes and wrinkles ever so slightly. And automatic and manual adjustments let you film with point-and-shoot ease, or customize the look of your video.

The Elura 60's photo features are akin to those found on many popular Canon digital still cameras. You can snap photos with a top resolution of 1280 x 960, and store them to the supplied SD card. Continuous Shooting mode permits rapid-fire photo capture — great for shooting an action sequence. If you connect the Elura 60 to a compatible printer, you can use the Print & Share button to make prints of your favorite shots, with just the push of a button. Another nice touch is M-JPEG movie mode, for recording short, e-mail-friendly video clips and saving them on the SD card.

Editing your home movies on a computer is a cinch with Mini DV! Use the Elura 60's IEEE 1395 jack to transfer Mini DV video to your IEEE 1394-capable computer via an optional cable, then use separate software to edit your movie masterpieces. To play your videos on a TV, or send them to a DVD recorder for archiving, you can make a connection from the Elura 60's A/V outputs. Cool!
