Just got the Canon Legria Fs 306 today ( for work) and tested it on our trip to St. Peter Ording Beach. I used it right out of the box . Well i only loaded the batterie which took about 3 hours. I even didn´t read the manual so no changes to the default settings except adjusting the clock and date. Settings are all to auto . Filmed in movie mode with SP quality (about 6 Mbits). There is some saturation noticable in the sky in a few shots. Need to make some more tests in XP mode (about 9 Mbits) to see if i can get rid of it. (READ UPDATE BELOW!) More tests to come after reading the manual,lol. This is an SD camcorder but i decided to upload the video in HD format . I hope i don´t loose any quality. (Update: What you can see here at youtube is only 60 percent of the quality compared to watching the same stuff on a LCD TV!) Original video specs: MPEG-2, 720 × 576, 16:3 Audio: 128 AC3 2/0, 48 kHz, 256 kbps the 306 works very well with iMovie 09. You can either select individual or all clips to import into the iMovie library and/or you can copy the complete SDHC card contents (including images and camcorder settings) to your Mac. iMovie gives you a preview of each clip so you can decide what you want to import and what not. UPDATE: I watched the video on my LG 26" LCD TV and there is no saturation in the sky visible. Looks very smooth. I only noticed few mpeg artifacts here and there. Guess it will go if i change the video quality settings to XP mode .
