Canon LEGRIA FS306 Handheld Camcorder 41x Zoom SDHC/SD 2.7 Blue - Second Hand

Canon's LEGRIA FS306 Flash Memory PAL Camcorder (Blue) is an affordable standard definition cam that records up to 20 hours of video to removable SD/SDHC memory cards (20 hours per 32GB card). The FS306 uses Canon technologies such as the DIGIC DV II Image Processor, a 1/6" CCD sensor, 41x Advanced Zoom, and Dynamic Image Stabilisation to help you capture your memories in sharp detail. Other useful features like the 2.7" LCD display and the built-in video light further aid in getting just the right shot. In addition, the FS306 also gives you the ability to capture short 4 second video clips that can be set to music, and are ideal for Internet sharing. You can also capture 786k still images with the FS306 either in still mode or while recording video with Canon's Dual Shot mode. Other user-friendly features such as Quick Start, Pre-Record, and Portrait mode all come in handy when shooting, making it easy for you to focus on the moment.

SD/SDHC Flash Memory

With the compact FS306 you're able to record over 20 hours of sharp, clear video onto a removable SD card using flash memory. The SD memory card is easily inserted into your computer or TV's card reader and will allow you to view your recorded footage immediately. In addition to the advantage of added recording time, you'll appreciate the quick response time of flash memory because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. Another plus is the FS306's low power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. It's just what you need so you don't miss that pivotal play on the field or the moment when they say "I do." And if the FS306 happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that flash memory makes your camcorder more shock resistant than other recording storage systems. It also minimises the chance of data loss due to damage to your recording media or the moving parts found in other camcorders

Canon Image Quality

Canon delivers high quality video in the standard definition video FS306. A Genuine Canon 41x Advanced Zoom delivers steady and stable images, while the 680,000 pixel CCD Image Sensor and Canon DIGIC DV II Image Processor capture video with vivid, intense, lifelike detail

2.7" Widescreen LCD Display

The 2.7" LCD on the FS306 lets you see more of what your camcorder is recording. The 123,000 dot screen delivers bright, clear detail and the widescreen format means there's no need to imagine what your final image will look like on your widescreen television because it's not squeezed into a small space while you're shooting. What you see will be what you get. Video Snapshot will let you shoot short movie clips with the FS306 in the same way you've shot snapshots with your still camera. You can create 4-second video clips which can be played back in the FS306 with background music. You'll also be able to capture clips in Playback as well, making it convenient to use this feature. It's a great way to document your life in a quick, easy, entertaining series of clips, perfect for Internet sharing

Dynamic Image Stabilisation

With the Canon FS306, you can be sure that even on the move your video will be smooth and steady. Dynamic IS provides continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broader range of motion. In comparison to conventional electronic image stabilisation systems, extra compensation is applied at wide-angle focal lengths to eliminate unwanted vibration that is common when walking

Quick Start

With Quick Start, you'll never miss a quickly unfolding shot again. When the FS306 is in Camera Mode and the LCD panel is closed, it is placed in standby. When the action starts, open the LCD panel and you'll begin recording in less than one second. You'll also help extend your battery life as compared to leaving the camcorder in regular recording mode. Dual Shot makes capturing video and photos fast and easy. Both types of images can be captured in the same mode - without requiring any switching. This ensures you will be ready to capture the action when it starts, helping you to avoid the chance of a missed shot

Quick Charge

When you've got a lot to shoot but not a lot of time to recharge your batteries, the Quick Charge feature comes to the rescue. In 20 minutes you can charge up to approximately 60 minutes of recording time! It's ultra-fast battery charging when you need it most

Pre-Record

The Pre-record feature places your FS306 in a stand-by "pre-roll" mode. With this feature the camcorder continuously records three seconds of video to memory before you even press the record button. When you start recording, the additional video is recorded too

Pixela ImageMixer 3SE Video Editing Software

The Pixela ImageMixer 3SE video editing software allows for playback of recorded video on your computer and editing in which you can trim, reorder, and combine scenes, as well as add music, titles, and transitions. With the Pixela ImageMixer 3SE Software, you can burn a standard definition DVD to relive the memories on your TV. And to perfectly complement the Video Snapshot feature found on Canon flash memory camcorders, a music CD containing royalty-free soundtracks is also provided
