The Bottom Line	Canon's bargain-basement camcorder provides home-moviemakers with the tools to shoot surprisingly high-quality video, but good lighting is essential.	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.	Canon's latest entry-level MiniDV camcorder is a great choice for anyone looking to create video on a shoestring budget.	Canon's affordable, compact ZR200 performs beautifully when the lights are bright, but you're probably better off with its less expensive sibling, the ZR100.
