LEGRIA: High Definition (HD) why does it matter?
High Definition offers the very best quality recording and playback format available, and is the system that is the benchmark for industry standards today and tomorrow. It offers astonishingly realistic detail, colour and quality and it is these principles that are the hallmarks of the Canon HD system.
Even if you have a standard definition television you should consider purchasing an HD camcorder, as it will be an investment in what is becoming the industry standard technology. Full HD offers astonishingly realistic detail, colour and quality and it is these principles that are the hallmarks of Canon’s HD system.
The benefits of Canon’s HD system
Pro photographers choose Canon EOS cameras because the CMOS sensor, DIGIC processor and genuine Canon lenses have become the benchmark for professional photographic imaging quality. This combination of technology typically requires less power than other systems, so extending battery life, allowing you to shoot video for longer.
Genuine Canon lenses
The quality of High Definition images starts with the glass. Inheriting 70 years of Canon lens know-how and innovation – as well as 48 years at the forefront of broadcast lens development – Canon HD camcorders incorporate precision engineered zoom lenses. It’s the quality of the glass that helps deliver the increased resolution necessary for HD imaging.
On selected models, Flourite lens elements and Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass deliver exceptional clarity. Multi-coating, applied to all surfaces, virtually eliminates ghosting and flare, while aspherical lens elements minimize chromatic aberration. Canon HD video lenses are designed to meet the higher requirements of HD imaging.
Optical Image Stabilizer: Reduce camera shake
Canon’s Super Range Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) is an advanced image stabilization system that compensates for almost every kind of camera movement, from the gentle murmurs of your breathing to the vibrations of a car ride. The extra detail of HD movies can make small shakes more noticeable if you’re new to shooting in HD. With OIS, LEGRIA camcorders help you make smooth professional looking movies.
As an added benefit, Super Range OIS also prevents camera shake when digital photographs are taken using the camcorder.
How it helps you:
Super Range OIS detects movements and compensates for them, this ensures smoother and better quality video playback. All Canon camcorders have powerful zooms, but Super Range OIS guarantees that images remain stable and wobble free when zooming in from great distance.
How you record? Flash memory is best.
Flash memory is a convenient way to capture and keep quality images whether you opt for an HD or SD LEGRIA model.

History
The company that we know today as Canon started in the 1930's when a group of scientists decided to make their presence know in the field of camera technology and created Japan's first 35mm focal plane-shutter camera prototype, know as 'The Kwanon'. Their success grew and they became known in the UK in 1976. Eleven years later they introduced the EOS System (Electro Optical System, also the name of a goddess of the dawn), establishing the Canon Foundation.
Canon has since become a household name, popular worldwide for its originality, style and reliability. Today Canon is a world-leading innovator and provider of imaging and information technology solutions for the home and office.
