About this model
The Canon LEGRIA HF R806 is a compact, straightforward camcorder for family films, holidays and events. Its 32x optical zoom pulls distant subjects close, while Intelligent IS helps steady handheld shots as you zoom or walk. A 3-inch touchscreen makes it simple to frame, focus and play back footage, and the built-in Wi-Fi lets you connect to a phone or tablet via Canon's CameraAccess app for wireless viewing/remote control and compatible clip transfer. Video is recorded in Full HD to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards, and the rechargeable battery pack keeps it ready for days out. It is a practical choice if you want dedicated video with a long zoom rather than filming on a phone.
