Sniper Elite V2 comes real close to offering players an engaging sniping experience, but ultimately falls a bit short thanks to clunky controls, terrible AI and wonky stealth mechanics.
The first thing that appeals to you about the Canon Legria FS22 is that it's quite handy. The camcorder is designed so that you not only grip it from the side, but you can pretty much wrap your palm around it, giving it a very ergonomic feel. This level of comfort allows you to shoot for long periods of time without feeling the stress — I can say that so confidently, because I took a handheld shot for 20 minutes at a stretch, without getting my wrist or elbow sore after.
Its 56 x 122 x 58 mm size makes it small and the total weight of 230g keeps it light enough to carry along wherever you go.
It uses a 32 GB internal hard drive for storage with an option for additional memory through its memory card slot. Considering that this camcorder records only in standard definition, the internal memory gives you around 7 hours of record time in XP mode (9Mbps), which is the highest quality and close to 21 hours in LP mode (3Mbps).
The 2.7-inch LCD display is quite good, and just like most other camcorders, it does make the video look a lot better than it actually may appear on your PC or TV. But as most manufacturers are moving towards touchscreen displays, Canon decides to keep this one old-school with its handy joystick and soft touch button controls.
The optics on the FS22 support 37x Optical Zoom, but you can up that to 45x in 16:9 mode and 46x in 4:3. The zoom definitely seems more than satisfactory but the problem is that the electronic image stabilization built into the FS22 is not strong enough to handle it. Unless you have nerves of steel (or a good old tripod), you'd be better off shooting at wider angles.
