Comments:
Feature-rich, easy-to-use MiniDV camcorder takes good stills.

Review Verdict: The Optura 60 includes a lot of easy-to-use features, captures reasonably good still images, and offers a 14X zoom, but the video is not quite as impressive as some of the other camcorders in this spotlight.

The Canon Optura 60 has similar specifications to last year's Optura 40, but its featured optical image stabilization may not make up for its poor low light performance when compared to last year's Opturas. We had high hopes for this year's ZRs, but sadly
