The Bottom Line	With its extreme zoom range and low price, the Panasonic PV-GS35 is an excellent choice when you can't get close to your subject.	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.	With its extreme zoom range and its low price, the Panasonic PV-GS39 is a good choice for shooting distant subjects.	Canon's first flash-based camcorder, the Canon Vixia HF10, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.
