The Bottom Line	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.	Though its video isn't perfect, the Canon FS200 is one of the better standard-definition consumer camcorders available.	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.
