The reason for wider pictures is the way Canon CCDs use a wider area to strike more pixels and hence deliver higher resolution. The ZR500 poses a cool 2.7" widescreen panel display for preview. This affordable camcorder comes attached with a joystick on the display panel's housing giving the user easy access to the camera's menu system, playback and manual controls.
Exceptional color and clarity are achieved thanks to Canon's DIGIC DV Image Processor. With 25x optical zoom and 800x digital zoom, Canon has included Smooth Zoom Control to get rid of jerks when zooming. The ZR500 comes in a sleek Blue Mist color, with integrated lens covers.
