The Bottom Line		Convenient, well-designed camcorders that look pricier than they are, models in the Canon FS series--FS11, FS10, and FS100--nevertheless deliver typical budget video in line with their budget price tags.	Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available.	The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder.
