The DC420 captures and records true 16:9 High Resolution Widescreen for picture perfect video. How does Canon do it? Through Canon's image processing system, which uses the entire width of the image sensor, capturing true 16:9 widescreen so no one and nothing is left unseen. What difference does it make? It's simple. The more pixels captured, the better your final image quality is.
The DC420 also lets you show your great Widescreen HR video on a standard television in letterbox format.
