The ES1000 / UC7Hi / UC-L1Hi was developed with the focus on the most competitively priced market. Canon sought to develop a “high-performance, compact family-use model.” As a high-quality model in Canon’s lineup of 8mm video camcorders, it an offered an optical image stabilizer for extra user value.
