It is a slim and compact camera with specifications that will satisfy not only the beginning photographer, but, as a second camera, expert photographers as well. The Fastest (f/1.0) 3X Zoom Lens in the World With the fastest lens of any 8mm movie camera, the Canon 310XL can clearly catch even very dimly lit subjects. Despite the speed of f/1.0, its newly designed lens construction of 13 elements in 11 groups obtains sharp picture images without flare at full aperture and excellent color balance. In addition, the Canon 310XL is most suitable for home movies with a considerable depth of field and wide angle within its focal length of 8.5mm - 25.5mm.
