Reviews of the Canon Vixia HF200

CNET Review
The Good: Broad manual feature set unusual in a camcorder its size; excellent video quality; attractive, functional design.
The Bad: Relatively expensive.
The Bottom Line: 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.
