Good HD video overall; Small and light; 15x optical zoom; Good features

Low-light performance not the best; HD video not as rich as pricier camcorders'; Memory card not included; Costs more than others in its class

8GB SD card included in sales package, reasonable price, external microphone jack

Low-light performance isn't impressive, didn't deliver the leap in video quality we were hoping for

The Canon Legria HF200 is a solid HD camcorder that boasts some useful, no-nonsense features. While there are better camcorders on the market, it does a great job for the asking price.

Not the best HD video camera we've seen, lacks built-in memory found in rivals, stills mode is only 3 megapixels

Takes good vids and pics with a small form factor.

Mine was stolen, but I re-purchased the same cam because I liked it so much!

Amazing little camera. The picture quality is outstanding, and the solid state design, with no rolling transfer means I get my shots from take to edit with no loss of quality. I film in the full HD 24 Mbps, and I can't believe the results. The problems...

It doesn't do well in low light, IF you don't have the settings properly adjusted. If the settings on the camera is well adjusted, and you know how to light your scene, then it does quite well. The two things you have to take care with are the color,...
