Canon LEGRIA HF21 Digital Camcorder

The biggest difference from the previous model is the amount of storage on board. Instead of 32 GB, you get 64GB of flash memory. Even at the higher quality mode, which records to 24Mbits/sec, that is enough for six hours of filming, which will be more than sufficient for most holidays. There are four quality modes other, too. At the lowest setting that works 5Mbits/sec, you can install a huge 24 hours of video on embedded memory, and there is a SDHC slot available if you want more. The first two modes of use as a Full HD resolution, but the last three down to 1.440 x 1.080, as HDV. Thank you to the use of flash memory, the HF21 is surprisingly compact, too, weighing only 340g.

The HF21 offers a fairly healthy level of functionality. There minijack microphone and headphones, the latter doubling as the AV output. Manual level control is available for pickups, too. There’s even an accessory shoe, protected by a plastic tab. But this is Canon “S” Mini Advanced shoe rather than a standard size, so you’ll be limited to devices owners.

The icing on the cake is missing, however, as there is no lens ring available. Instead, all the manual settings are configured through commands around the LCD. By itself, the controller accesses the menu system quickly, a relatively recent addition to the interface of Canon camcorders. This allows quick access to most frequently used settings such as turning on the video light function and pre-registration. This video reels constantly, which is marked on the top of the file when you click save, so if you’re slow to react, you do not necessarily miss a shot. [via trustedreviews]
