DESCRIPTION

The entry-level niche in Canon's latest series of analog camcorders is occupied by the ES400V, which records in the 8mm format. The fairly basic features of this model make it a candidate if you're a first-time camcorder buyer. The ES400V records in mono sound and has an optical zoom ratio of 16x, which is average for today's camcorders. The ES400V's image stabilization function will come in handy if you're shooting without a tripod.
