| The Bottom Line | It doesn't have a lot of bells or whistles, but the Canon DC230's long lens and solid video quality makes it stand out a little from other inexpensive DVD camcorders. | Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available. | 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. | The Sony Handycam DCR-DVD650 offers an all-in-one, on-the-go way to capture standard-def video and burn it to a DVD, but hard-disk-drive and flash-memory models are otherwise a better option. | The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder. |
