Featuring unrivalled video technology, including a color LCD view screen, the ES6500V / UC-V300 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 ES6500V / UC-V300 to offer both of these features together in a single model.
