The Canon LEGRIA HF20 is a twin memory camcorder with 32GB of internal memory and a SDHC slot for adding additional capacity if required. The 32GB is enough to shoot just over 12 hours of glorious high definition video footage which should be enough for most uses.
The quality of image captures by the HF20 is extremely good as we’ve come to expect from Canon. The quality comes from the combination of Canon HD video lens, 3.3MP Full HD CMOS sensor and Canon’s DIGIC DV III processor. At the highest settings the HF20 can capture 1920×1080 video at high bitrate of 24Mbsp.
Using the HF20 is a doddle. Instant AF gives you pin-sharp focussing quickly and easily while optical image stabilisation prevents camera shake from spoiling your recordings. If you’re filming people then the Face Detection Technology can tailor your shooting settings to get those perfect people shots. In fact the Canon HF20 can track up to 35 individual faces in a single frame ensuring the best settings for focus and exposure are used at all times.
Since the HF20 uses solid state memory it is extremely lightweight. Weighting just 340g it’s perfect for taking with you anywhere. The Quick Start feature means you can be ready to start recording in less than a second. If you’re still worried about missing the perfect camcorder moment then the Pre. Rec. function is for you. When Pre. Rec. is enabled the HF20 constantly buffered 4 seconds of video while you are not recording. When you press the record button the buffered video is added to the beginning of your footage ensuring you don’t miss something important.
