Manual of product Legria FS21
Editorial note
The Canon Legria FS21 stands out for several appreciated features, including its 37x optical zoom that allows capturing precise details from a distance, ideal for landscapes and sporting events. Additionally, its built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp videos and photos, even in motion, thus guaranteeing superior image quality. The 2.7-inch LCD screen makes navigating the settings easy, providing an intuitive user experience. The battery life, which can reach 3.58 hours, is a major asset for long shooting sessions. Finally, compatibility with SD and SDHC memory cards allows for easy expansion of storage capacity. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The maximum image resolution of 1152 x 864 pixels is relatively low compared to current standards, which may affect the quality of videos and photos. The lack of a port for an external microphone limits audio recording options, especially in noisy environments. Moreover, the absence of a viewfinder can make composing shots more difficult, especially in bright sunlight. The size of the 1/6" optical sensor may lead to poor performance in low light, impacting image quality in challenging lighting conditions. Finally, the lack of HDMI connectivity and S-video output restricts sharing and viewing options for recordings. Overall, the Canon Legria FS21 is a functional and practical camcorder, well-suited for users looking for an easy-to-use device for varied shooting, but it may not meet the expectations of demanding users in terms of image quality and recording flexibility.Score details
