The VIXIA HF200 delivers brilliant video and still photos through a Canon exclusive 3.89 megapixel CMOS image sensor and the latest version of Canon's advanced image processor, DIGIC DV III. It is ultra lightweight - Canon's smallest and lightest HD camcorder, and brings the ease and convenience of flash memory. This technology, the same used in advanced laptop computers, MP3 players, PDAs and cell phones, allows the VIXIA HF200 to record up to 6 hours of crisp, high definition video (LP mode) to a removable SDHC card. You have extended available recording space and more flexibility in file transfer and playback. What's more, the VIXIA HF200 allows you to record at up to 24Mbps, the highest bitrate in AVCHD format, for the highest quality image. The VIXIA HF200's Canon exclusive features - such as the genuine Canon 15x HD video lens, genuine Canon face detection capability, SuperRange optical image stabilization and a host of control and creative options.

Amazing quality! Tough on hardware!

"I needed a camera that had decent battery life, could go anywhere and not be disrupted by little bumps or jolts. And I wanted a camera that was capable of shooting in HD. In the summer I regularly go above 10,000ft for camping, four wheeling and general mountaineering. I couldn't use a unit with a hard drive as I've read that they're only so good to a certain altitude that I often exceed. I also couldn't use a c..." Read Full Review »

Mixed Feelings !!

"Being a first time user of a flash memory based HD camera, the HF200 impressed me really !! The stuff is easy to use and is quite intuitive to operate. Few areas where Canon can surely improve - 1. Split the manuals, so we need not carry all various languages at the same time, specially for those of us who prefer to keep the manual handy! 2. The software that comes along with is nightmare and the playback/editin..." Read Full Review »

"The Vixia HF200 is a great little HD camcorder. I bought it for simple event recording.
