The Bottom Line	A true video/still hybrid it's not, but the 200MC is a capable, compact camcorder with above-average photo capabilities.	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 Canon Optura 600 is a very good pocket camcorder that's also a reasonable snapshot camera.
