The Canon LEGRIA HF M46 Full HD PAL Camcorder is a 1920 x 1080 high def cam with 16GB of Flash memory. In addition to its built-in memory, the HF M46 also boasts two SDXC memory card slots. With this much storage space it's possible to record up to 2TB of files. Whether you record to the internal memory or removable cards, the camera's 1/3" HD CMOS Pro Sensor and Canon's DIGIC DV III image processor work together to provide stunningly detailed, life-like images that look great on your HDTV. Of course, these two don't work alone: the HF M46 also employs a genuine Canon 10x HD video lens, optical image stabilization, powered image stabilization and a 3.0" (7.5 cm) touch screen LCD display, among other great features.

Designed with advanced users in mind, the camcorder also comes with headphone and microphone jacks. These connections make it possible to capture high quality audio to go along with your movies. In addition to using an external mic for audio, the HF M46 features an enhanced internal microphone, which gives you the choice of 4 different recording directions, including monaural, stereo, wide, or synced with zoom. This feature also allows for adjustment between low, mid-range, and high frequencies.

For those times when you feel like letting the camera do the work, the HF M46 has a number of user-friendly shooting controls that make for uncomplicated shooting. Face detection, Instant AF, Smart Auto, and a bevy of others all take the guesswork out of recording, allowing you to focus on enjoying the moment instead of worrying about settings. Other important features include Photo Grab, for taking still images from already shot video, 25p frame mode for more cinematic videos, along with Cinema-Look filters. A number of other options give you the tools necessary for capturing memories that will last a lifetime.
