Canon Legria HF R18

The Canon Legria HF R18 is an entry-level high-def camcorder aimed squarely at the casual end of the market. Its main selling points are a 20x optical zoom lens and a semi-affordable price tag.


Like the vast majority of Canon’s camcorder range, the Legria HF R18 uses removable flash memory to record video. In addition to an SD/SDHC card slot, it also comes with 32GB of inbuilt memory. This is enough to store up to 12 hours of high-definition video at the lowest possible setting. Other models in Canon’s entry-level ‘HF’ range include the 8GB Legria HF R16 and the memory-free Legria HF R106. Apart from storage capacity, all three camcorders are identical to each other — so if you already have lots of SD memory cards lying around, the HF R106 might be a better option...
