Camera: MVX3i 2.2Mp 10X BE
Ergonomic bodyThe MVX3i is a truly creative digital imaging machine that shoots movies and stills. An ergonomic body together with well-positioned controls means all functions are readily accessible. A high-visibility 3.5" colour LCD and colour viewfinder make composing and menu navigation easy.
Image resolution
With the 2.2 Megapixel CCD the MVX3i produces ultra high-resolution video images with 1.7 effective Megapixel as well as still images recorded at 2.0 effective Megapixel. Zoom range is 10x optical/200x digital for movies, 9x optical/36x digital for stills. To keep compositions pin-sharp, the MVX3i is equipped with an Optical Image Stabilizer.
An RGB Primary Color Filter ensures reds, greens and blues keep their intensity when reproduced. DIGIC DV ensures the recorded colours of both movies and stills match the colours you see at the time of shooting.
With MPEG4 your movies are routed to the SD Memory Card for easy transfer to your computer. The MPEG4 recording time is only limited by the size of the SD Memory Card.
