To strengthen Canon’s lineup of 8mm video camcorders, the ES8200V/50Hi was developed especially for markets outside Japan. The adoption of a newly developed compact and lightweight high-performance 22× optical zoom lens contributed to further size reduction. In addition, the introduction of a one-chip camera/recorder DSP made possible high-quality images during playback.
