What do people say

I’m not terribly familiar with various camcorders but after much research I decided on the Canon FS200 and I’m quite pleased. I LOVE that it has flash memory as I can easily carry extra cards and swap them out as needed. It didn’t take too long to charge and has a great battery life. The picture quality is great, mic picks up sounds well and the zoom is fantastic. I love how small and lightweight it is.

The camcorder is easy to use and set up. We are beginners, therefore we have not delved into the advanced features available. We just wanted to be able to shoot video with ease. We did not purchase this for the ability to take pictures, as we have a very good camera for that. However, the pictures are easy to take and the quality seems good.
The auto focus works well, the battery life is excellent, and I was surprised at how much video can fit on an 8gb card. The battery has about 2 and a half hours (and the remaining battery life is displayed on the screen in minutes remaining, not just an icon) and the card holds just over 2 hours of video (also displayed as remaining minutes available on the screen).
The only thing I would change is to add a viewfinder – the only way to see what you are recording is via the LCD screen. However, we knew we were not getting a viewfinder when we made the purchase.
