Canon has a way of always distinguish! On one hand it offers a HFR36 camcorder for filming perfectly. The device is lightweight but big flaw, the original battery is pathetic in terms of capacity. Roughly 30min and you can pack up the camcorder. This long battery life is impeccable! His fault is to be voluminous. It goes beyond a good 2cm ass of the unit. Too bad it could have been perfect. Its price meanwhile, is a bit exaggerated.
