| The Bottom Line | A good but undistinguished home-movie camcorder for people on a 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. | A good budget home-movie camcorder but think twice before forgoing the night light in the Elura 65. | Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available. | |
