Canon Vixia HF200

Pros: This was my first camcorder.
After skimming the manual and navigating the functions for an hour or so, I was ready to shoot.
Makes outstanding videos.
Super compact and light.
Sound is good as long as it's not windy.

Cons: Hard to get the memory card out. (I use a guitar pick)
Record button too easy to push accidently. (I used 3- 1/16" thick, stick on rubber squares around the button to reduce the chance of unintended recording)
Editing is not as easy as it should be.

Summary: Because of the format, I think this camcorder will be around for a while and I hope my next computer will make editing easier than it is now.
Overall I am satisfied with the purchase I selected.
