Canon's revamped Elura
camcorders January 7, 2005; 3:59 p.m.
 The product: Canon's Elura camcorders get a series-wide face-lift, in the form of the Elura 80, the Elura 85, and the Elura 90. All three MiniDV camcorders boast 1.33-megapixel CCDs, as well as 2.5-inch LCD screens and 16:9 wide-screen shooting modes. The top-of-the-line Elura 90 offers 20X optical zoom, compared to 18X in the Elura 80 and 85. On the lower end, the Elura 80 lacks the Super NightShot mode found in the 85 and 90. Series-wide specs include:
The prospects: We've come to expect this sort of regular overhaul from Canon, given last year's unveiling of the Elura 60, 65, and 70. This year's improvements seem limited to modest bumps in CCD resolution and optical zoom range, so while not exactly revolutionary, they'll make a nice bonus for anyone considering an Elura.
