Canon VIXIA HF200 HD Camcorder Review
The Vixia HF200 SDHC card is just starting (without internal memory), it is extremely compact and lightweight. Simply put an 16GB Class 4 card, and can be 80 minutes of high quality AVCHD to record video – more than enough for most events. For the record, like the HF20 32GB of internal memory.
The AVCHD camcorder is no winner in the looks department. It looks pretty usual with a combination of silver, gray and black finished. However, it is very small, fits comfortably in your palm, and has a very comfortable strap. It measures 2.8 x 2.4 x 4.9 (WxHxD in mm) and weighs 13.8 kilograms, with the battery. You will have no problems, they carry around all the time. Canon calls it is their “smallest, lightest HD camcorder” available, but maps of the recently revised based Sony HDR-CX100 smaller, lighter and cheaper. It’s just not so good.
