The Bottom Line	This is an attractive budget camcorder for newbie videographers.	It lacks some of the features of its competitors, but its night shooting elevates this model above the crowd.	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.	You can tell where Sony cut corners on this compact, flash-based HD camcorder. While it's decent, there are better options for the money than the Sony Handycam HDR-CX100.	Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available.
