Canon Optura 600 Review

for About.com

Built-In Digital Camera

The Optura 600 has a built-in 4.3 megapixel camera. The digital camera can be used simultaneously with the camcorder, allowing the user to take photos while they continue to record video. The camera records pictures onto a SD memory card and has a resolution good enough to print 11x14 photographs at full resolution. The SD memory card can also be removed from the camcorder and taken to a photo lab for processing.

Handling

The Optura 600 is a very small camcorder, and thus has very small buttons that are relatively close together. If you have large fingers, or fumble over small cell phone buttons, then this is probably not the right camcorder for you. It can be very difficult to navigate the menus and controls due to the small size of the camcorders buttons.
