DIGIC DV
DIGIC DV is a system for achieving superior video and
photographic images. Canon's expertise in imaging and
electronics is flawlessly blended together, resulting in
outstanding performance. It offers substantial benefits in color
reproduction. DIGIC DV makes it possible to achieve accurate
color for both video and digital photos. Since video and photos
have different color requirements, DIGIC DV utilizes two different
color techniques to maximize video quality on a TV and still
image quality for print or computer display.

VIC
Embracing the industry's latest and most sophisticated
technology, Canon camcorders feature an exclusive connection
circuit, called VIC. VIC is a virtual powerhouse. Traditionally,
multiple chips were needed to perform the camcorder's input and
output functions. However VIC manages it all with one single
chip. The result is seamless connectivity whether you are
connecting to a computer, TV, or VCR.
Image Stabilizer
A high quality image stabilization system corrects camcorder
shake instantly, so your videos always look smooth, steady and
natural even when shooting hand-held at full telephoto. Canon’s
image stabilization system is even effective while panning and
zooming.
