The Bottom Line Though small and well designed, the JVC Everio GZ-MG57's performance and video quality can't match the competitions'. The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder. The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder. 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.
