Canon prepares new compact projector

Canon is updating its line of compact business projectors with the LV-7365. The unit is able to project a 100-inch image from a distance of 9.2 feet, and uses a 1.6x zoom lens, which is multicoated to reduce reflections, flare and ghosting. Brightness is rated at 3,000 ANSI lumens, with a contrast ratio of 500:1; though the projector's native resolution is only 1024x768, signals up to 720p and 1080i are supported through DVI-I input. RCA, D-sub 15 and stereo mini-jack ports are also included, the latter two in the form of outputs as well as inputs. Canon expects the 7365 to be ready in mid-November for $1,499.
