Canon Elura 60 Review

By
June 20th, 2004


Summary

The new MiniDV camcorder abandons the vertical shape of last year's Elura 50 for a standard horizontal shape. The new Elura also features a physically larger 1/4.5 in. CCD with 1.33 Megapixels. The new camcorder is aggressively priced and will provide tough competition for the other manufacturers. The new feature packed Eluras may signal a comeback for Canon in the price performance category.
