The Bottom Line	This well-constructed and -designed camcorder fits into a coat pocket, but it delivers less than stellar low-light video.	With a big zoom, a small size, and a decent price, the Canon Elura 100 is a great choice if you plan on steering clear of low-light situations.	Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available.	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 slick, compact Optura 300 is an excellent choice for picky shooters who want a solid vacation camcorder without the excess baggage.
