Widescreen-ready
In true 16:9 recording mode, the MV890 captures eye-catching widescreen video. Designed with wide shooting in mind, the camcorder has a 2.7" 16:9 LCD screen as well as a colour viewfinder, meaning that video is even monitored in the way it will appear on a widescreen TV set.

At the touch of a button, the camcorder switches the most important shooting controls to automatic, allowing you to concentrate on catching all of the action.

Easy handling and a compact design
Sporting a distinctive blue metallic finish, the MV900 is designed with easy handling in mind. Weighing just 380g, the camcorder is perfectly balanced, providing effortless and comfortable handheld shooting.

Convenient sliding lens cover
The lens is the most important part of any camcorder and thanks to the MV890's built-in sliding lens cover you'll never have to worry about it getting damaged.
