Canon Legria HFR36

 

While the HFR36 is a cheap camcorder, you definitely get what you pay for.

Well priced ; Inclusion of Wi-Fi connectivity

Flimsy build quality ; Video quality not great ; Frustrating interface and menus

3.2MP chip, proper HD, good build quality, decent picture

Terrible battery life, night time shots noisy

Excellent video quality from a base HD camcorder

Value for money, very sharp video image, mp4, wifi to PC / iPad directly, SD card slot, very light to carry.

Battery life, no view finder (very hard to see anything at bright spot), a bit blurry when panning fast.
