Concentrating on the most competitively priced market, Canon developed the UC200[E] with the aim of offering a broader shooting range and higher quality while retaining basic functions. It incorporated a 12x optical zoom lens and a built-in 0.65x wide attachment lens for ultrawide-angle shooting, allowing users to take video images in places with insufficient shooting distance. In addition, greater compactness was achieved by placing the video recording section and lens section in parallel.
