Canon's unique HD technologies packaged inside a compact, stylish design - the result is the LEGRIA HF M306, a camcorder with image quality that packs a punch, but is small enough to carry anywhere.

The LEGRIA HF M306 provides a unique way to control your camcorder. The large 2.7" touch-screen enables you to control of the camcorder's shooting and playback functions with simple on-screen gestures for a new, more intuitive way of movie-making.

The LEGRIA HF M306 has many shooting features for creating better movies. In Pre REC mode, the camcorder starts recording three seconds before the Record button is pressed, so you won't miss any of the action. 25p cinema mode creates more cinematic-looking movies. And you can even snap 3.3MP still photos to complement your movies.
