Review Summary Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available. Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available. The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder. While it's more expensive than its sub-$600 competitors, the Canon Vixia HF20 and Vixia HF200 deliver a more extensive feature set for the extra money. The HF200, which lacks internal memory, is probably a better buy than the HF20, though the HF20's all-black body is a bit classier looking. Convenient, well-designed camcorders that look pricier than they are, models in the Canon FS series--FS11, FS10, and FS100--nevertheless deliver typical budget video in line with their budget price tags.
