The new LEGRIA HF20 and LEGRIA HF200 HD camcorders: don’t miss a thing

LEGRIA HF20 Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 05 January, 2009: From a chance encounter to a great night out, who knows when something worth videoing will happen? Now, with the new Canon LEGRIA HF20 and LEGRIA HF200, there’s no excuse for missing that perfect moment in High Definition …

Canon’s smallest ever HD camcorders have arrived: weighing just 340g, they fit into any pocket – without compromising image quality. Full HD video – which is perfect for watching on Full HD TVs – is recorded to internal flash memory or easy-to-share memory cards. The Dual Flash Memory LEGRIA HF20 combines 32GB of internal memory, enough for over 12 hours of recording time, with straight-to-memory card shooting: perfect for epic adventures. Alternatively, the LEGRIA HF200 records movies and photographs to convenient SDHC (High Capacity) cards.

Flash memory is smaller and lighter than any other alternative recording format: it’s also quicker to start up, uses less power, and keeps movies safer. Allied to a host of new, user-friendly shooting features like Face Detection, Pre REC and Video Snapshot – all powered by Canon’s new Full HD CMOS sensor and next generation processor, DIGIC DV III – the small and stylish LEGRIA HF20 and LEGRIA HF200 invite you to discover the fun in filming.
