| The Bottom Line | The Panasonic SDR-H80 has the zoom power of a telescope and a lot of storage in a compact body, but the video results are not nearly as thrilling. | 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. | If storage amount, zoom range, and easy operation are on your list of needs before video quality, check out the Sony Handycam DCR-SR47. | The JVC Everio GZ-MS120 is a nice little flash-memory-based standard-definition camcorder. |
