Canon LEGRIA HFM306

The LEGRIA HFM306 is HD capable, packs a 2.7-inch touch-screen LCD and weighs just 320g. Is this the HD camcorder for you?

The Canon offers quality captures and ease-of-use but it needs a better standard battery to shine.

Canon Legria HF M306 review

Canon's vast AVCHD camcorder range can be reduced to three models, with each one available in different memory configurations. The HF M306 is a mid-range video camera and with no built-in memory and just a SDHC slot for storage, is the cheapest of the...

Superb image quality, elegant controls and lots of useful shooting options, but sound quality is disappointing and the price is too high.

A very good item

I was very pleased with the camcorder and it was waiting for me the next day at your Colchester store. It was also a very pleasent surprise to find the cost was less than the advertised price.

Canon Legria HF M306

The image quality is good. The video quality is good

The manual needs to be improved specially the video format and its size details need to be provided. The software given for video mixing does not have a good manual and it not good. It should provide more details and should be more user friendly for...

Canon Legria HF M306

I bought this camera to video hockey matches which I previously did with a canon ixus 210 ; With the legria I can now stand at the halfway line and zoom into each goal with no problem ; I only use the software supplied to download the videos to a pc...

I would suggest an extra battery is bought as the one supplied just about lasts a full match (70 minutes) ; Apart from that it was a very good buy
