CamcorderInfo has posted a Canon DC22 review on their website. They give it a very favorable review, marking it one of the best middle-of-the-road DVD camcorders available. The Canon DC22 did not perform as well as it’s upper-end counterpart the DC40, but for the price difference it was strong competition.
The Canon DC22 ($699), a late-2006 introduction, falls in between the high-end DC40 and the entry-level DC100. We were pleased to find that it is a successful marriage of the two, borrowing the manual controls of the DC40 with the portability and size of the DC100. Even better, the video performance, while certainly not as good as the DC40, certainly leaned closer in that direction than towards the DC100. With true 16:9 recording and analog inputs, the DC22 looks to be among the best mid-line DVD camcorders on the market.
