Featuring unrivalled video technology, including a color LCD view screen, the UC-V30Hi offered outstanding value for money. It also pursued features such as a large LCD view screen and a high-ratio lens with the Vari-Angle Prism (V.A.P.) optical image stabilizer borne from Canon’s camera expertise. Canon’s original exterior design allowed the UC-V30Hi to offer both of these features together in a single model.
