| The Bottom Line | If you don't shoot in low light and don't plan on using it to shoot still images, this feature-rich camcorder is a bargain. | 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. | 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. | |
