Canon Vixia HF S11
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
Canon Vixia HF S11 Reviewed on 10/02/2009

The Bottom Line: An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, the Canon Vixia HF S11 has the advantage of an excellent image stabilizer but it disappointingly lacks an eye-level viewfinder.

Specs: Camcorder, CMOS, 10 x, Flash card, 15.9 oz

Canon Vixia HG21
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
Canon Vixia HG21 Reviewed on 09/01/2009

The Bottom Line: Like its cousin, the flash-based HF11, Canon's Vixia HG21 delivers excellent HD video quality and performance albeit in a slightly larger, heavier package. However, you do get more storage space and a lower price.

Specs: Camcorder, CMOS, 12 x, Flash card, Hard disk drive, 17.3 oz

Canon Vixia HF200
  • Editors' rating: 4 stars
      Overall score: 8.0 (4.0 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 11 reviews
Canon Vixia HF200 Reviewed on 04/20/2009

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.

Specs: Camcorder, CMOS, 15 x, Flash card, 2.99 megapixels, 12 oz

  • User rating: 4 stars out of 8 reviews
Canon Vixia HF S100 Reviewed on 04/07/2009

The Bottom Line: An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, you may nevertheless pass on the Canon Vixia HF S100 because it lacks an eye-level viewfinder. It's probably a better buy than the identical--but more expensive, because it has 32GB built-in memory--Vixia HF S10.

Specs: Camcorder, CMOS, 10 x, Flash card, 15.9 oz

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 (30GB, black) Reviewed on 10/31/2008

The Bottom Line: The JVC Everio GZ-MG730 produces acceptable standard-def video and good photos in bright light, but considering its price tag, it's ultimately disappointing.
