The Bottom Line	Canon's latest entry-level MiniDV camcorder is a great choice for anyone looking to create video on a shoestring budget.	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.	Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available.		Canon's new MiniDV top model, the ZR850, continues the ZR tradition of offering affordable, easy-to-use wide-screen movie-making, though low-light performance is still subpar.
