The Canon Legria HF R48 is a fairly compact Full HD camcorder with a ¼.85in CMOS sensor, a built-in Wi-Fi adaptor and 32GB of built-in storage for your videos and still images, in addition to an SD card slot. This is a large amount of storage, and is great if youve forgotten your SD cards.
Although small, the Legria HF R48 is comfortable to hold, which is due in part to the handstraps padding. It feels light but not cheaply made, and the touchscreens hinge feels sturdy, giving us confidence that it wont break easily if handled by younger family members.
IMAGE QUALITY
We were pleasantly surprised by the image quality of the Legria HF R48, given its price. Theres a lot more detail in daylight shots than wed expect. You can see the grime on a handrail for instance, as well as reflections in panes of glass and the water-staining of painted surfaces, but it isnt perfect. If you look closer, part of the handrail looks blocky, and we cant see the texture of individual bricks in the wall opposite. Even so, these are things youd only notice if you took the time to look. It certainly wont stop you enjoying your footage. Colour reproduction was similarly good, although overcast skies appeared to have a blue tinge. We saw minimal noise, except when we trained the HF R48 on a cloudy sky.
We were also pleased with the footage shot in our studio. There was still a great amount of detail in all but the darkest scenes. We could clearly see the toy train reflected in the fan blades, for example, but we couldnt make out much detail on the darker parts of the train itself. Although noise was predictably present, it wasnt too intrusive.
We also noticed a pulsating shift in focus when we activated a rotating fan LED, which caused the text on a pack of stickers to move in and out focus slightly. Again, youd have to look closely to notice it.
The HF R48 also rendered the fur of our toys better than expected. Not as well as the much more expensive Panasonic HC-X920, but slightly better than the Panasonic HC-V520. With the HC-V520, some of the fur lacks detail, looking like a rough coloured surface, while other parts look like plump clumps of rice. You can tell the surface is fur, but it doesnt look too realistic. The Canon Legria HF R48 renders the fur similarly, but has just enough detail to make the fur appear more realistic.
FEATURE-PACKED
The Canon Legria HF R48 has a wonderfully smooth and incredibly responsive touchscreen interface thats packed with lots of sensible, well-organised options. The first level displays five icons that you can highlight with a cursor. Each icon represents a set of menu options, but click through the icon and youre presented with a list of natural language options. Any menu items that are not relevant to the camcorder mode youre using are greyed out, so you dont have to worry about them. Its certainly a lot better than the user interface seen on last years Canon Legria HF R36.
The R48 also has a built-in 2.4GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi adaptor that lets you control the camcorder remotely, upload videos to your smartphone or tablet and connect it to your router so that you can access it through your computer. In the latter scenario, the R48 operates as a media server, so you should be able to watch videos on your smart TV, too, as long as it supports media streaming from a server.
