Love this camera. My 3.5 month old looks amazing and she absolutely loves to watch herself on the tv

Canon VIXIA HF200 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with 15x Optical Zoom is a good product. I bought this product about a month ago and took lot of time working on this camcorder. I like the image quality and the video that it takes. Good size, and is portable. The only drawback I see it the pixela software it comes with to download this image. This one needs DVD -R for writing the DVD's. When I first installed the software, it downloaded the videos fine but did not allow me to edit or burn it. Maybe it didn't liked my m/c. So I use it only for downloading the videos and then I use Nero to burn it to HD DVD. If I have to use it as normal video to share it with friends and family, I convert it to .avi file and then burn it via Nero.
Other than that I like the product in general. I was amazed and surprised by the clarity of the video. The camcorder itself is very light. I have used it with 16gb card and had not came to a situation of card being full. The controls are easy to use once you get a handle of it. The component cable that comes with the camera is a good. Other than the software issue I like this camcorder.

Surprised by how compact this was. I already owned a 16gb SDHC memory card so I bought the HF200, not the HF20. I think it is still cheaper to buy the HF200 and then buy your own memory.

I did a lot of research and decided on this Canon Camcorder. We used it during Christmas with grandkids and the only problem was the life of the battery. You can only charge the battery while it is in the Camcorder, not good. Canon should provide a was charger. We are not professional Video geeks but when the shots we made we played on the 55" Samsung they looked great.

I researched various camcorders for months weighing features I wanted and ended up choosing this camcorder. It was very easy to use, but the video quality was so horrible, especially when you look at areas of the picture that transition between light and dark, it is heavily pixelated and almost distorted parts of the scene. I was planning on using this primarily indoors under standard lighting conditions, but no way. I ended up returning this and was left with very few options since this camcorder was so highly rated. I ended up going with the Panasonic HDC-HS250k because it has 3 CMOS sensors vs the 1 the Canon has. Sure that camcorder has it's issues, but the video quality is leaps and bounds over the Canon.
Pros: Mic in, remote, easy menus, lots of manual features. mini hot shoe.
Cons: Video quality is unacceptable, even point and shoot cameras take better video. You have to have the camcorder charging before connecting it to the computer or else you cannot get your files off the SD card (it's easier if you have an SD card reader).
I cannot believe Canon woould make such a poor product, I have had Canon still and video cameras for years and never have I had such a miserable experience with one as I did with this. Thanks to Amazon's awesome return policy I was able to get something that I needed.
