Review Summary Stick with well-lit environments and you're sure to like the Canon ZR600, a low-priced, feature-rich camcorder. Canon's compact, capable ZR500 MiniDV camcorder is a dream come true for videographers on a shoestring budget. Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available. Canon's latest entry-level camcorder, the ZR700, is easy to use, affordable, and ideal for wide-screen moviemaking, but low-light performance remains a problem. Canon's latest entry-level MiniDV camcorder is a great choice for anyone looking to create video on a shoestring budget.
