| Review Summary | The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder. | 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. | The Flip Video UltraHD may not be the sexiest mini camcorder out there, but it offers a respectable feature set and some of the best video we've seen from this type of cheap, YouTube-friendly camcorder. |
