    Canon's Vixia HF200 which we review, is their most affordable HD camcorder yet and gives much pricier models a run for their money. Read more

    • Compact; light; full HD camcorder with 15x zoom; 3.89MP CMOS sensor
    • Still relatively expensive, but getting there

    Canon’s acquitted itself quite well with a nearly identical trio of flash-based AVCHD camcorders, the HF10/HF11/HF100, and follow-up models HF20 and HF200 manage to improve upon their legacy. Read more

    The first thing that made me choose this camcorder is it’s palm sized figure. It weighs only about 14 ounces and it fits easily into your hand, so dropping it is generally out of the question. Read more

    This was a gift for my girlfriend, who is in film development, to use for cutaways, insert and establishing shots on projects. She did a LOT of research on HD camcorders and this was the one she chose. Read more

    The size of this camera is surprisingly not a hindrance for me, but of great value. I use two of these in a rig I developed and shoot Stereoscopic 3D. Read more

    • Amazing little camera. The picture quality is outstanding, and the solid state design, with no rolling transfer means I get my shots from take to edit with no loss of quality. I film in the full HD 24 Mbps, and I can't bel...
    • It doesn't do well in low light, IF you don't have the settings properly adjusted. If the settings on the camera is well adjusted, and you know how to light your scene, then it does quite well. The two things you have to t...

    This camera is very easy to operate, is lightweight and easy to transport - however it does not come with a bag so this will need to be purchased in addition to the camcorder. Read more
