Infamous low light performance - Take it outside, where it really shines.

When the Optura was introduced, it was the only such game in town with progressive scan CCD and optics to die for. The unique shape (looking like a silver SLR) made it stealthy in captuing people on video without their knowledge.

Even with all the HD coming into its own, I have not yet fully lusted for another camera - the Optura keeps me more than satisfied. I still get comments on how nice a camera it is.

Works with iMovie and PInnacle without missing a beat. DVD made with the footage captured look clear and vivid. Progressive scan is what DVD creation is optimized for.
