Canon Legria HF R206 review

 

Coming in below £300, the HF R206 is right at the budget end of the HD camcorder market. But despite this, it looks pretty slick, feels well-built and has some specifications that really stand out at this low price. Its main rival to date is the £350...

A decent budget-HD camcorder with dual card slots, but it suffers badly in less than optimal conditions.

Great Camcorder

Canon LEGRIA HF R206 HD Camcorder

 

It's light, and easy to use. The battery life could do with some working on. All in all it's not a bad camera, the picture quality is good. I've yet to transfer my Holiday shots to my PC with the Transfer Utility which comes with the camera.

Poor battery life

 

I wanted to upgrade my very basic Nikon digital camera and I have started to look into the camcorders. This camera is good for non pro (I am not a photographer). I wanted something light, with double card storage and with a good zoom. I bought this...

Compact camera providing excellent image quality!

 

An extremely compact HD camcorder that gives excellent image quality with a more than acceptable sound stage considering the microphone placement. Unusually for a camera of this type it has slots for two SD cards - I fitted mine out with two 16G cards,...
