Canon FS200 Camcorder - Silver

We use it horse back riding, road riding on motorcycle and general travels. Nice and light weight, camera is easy to use. My old one was like having and anvil around your neck. Don't even notice this one. If any dislike it would be the software that comes with it. I found it hard to use, and not intuitive. The .mod files is not compatible with a lot of the software I am using, but enough programs out there to convert. Just makes another step in the process to move them up to Utube. ON my own system, they work fine.

I bought it because of the package deal online. It works decent in dim lit places also as we are shooting a lot with it in indoor horse rings. So far, pretty good. Not sure how well the stabilizer will work while out on the trail.
To much snow here right now to try that out.

We like it for our needs.

I've REALLY enjoy this camera. I have been doing more and more filming of everyday events throughout my terms in university. I was originally using my digital camera, then I decided to try a videocamera. I rented one from my uni tech centre and this is the kind I borrowed the three or four times I needed it for events on campus [I was responsible for filming.]

I loved it so much that I decided to seek one out myself. I (finally) found one I could afford and have been practicing using it and I LOVE it! I loved it before and I now am STOKED that I can now use my own for these events - on short notice, too!!!

This is an AMAZING camera to start out with for the everyday life happenings. I personally still have to play with what settings work best, but it is SUPER easy to figure out and to learn to operate!

Five stars: *****
Would HIGHLY recommend it; very affordable (well...I got mine on ebay; affordable for me!)

Overall I am very satisfied with this digital camera. It is very affordable with no more tapes or disc. No more tape jams. No more having to lable tapes and storage them. I like the organization that you get when you use memory and it is even easier to transfer to your hard drive than to store in a tape box. This camera has great focus and zoom. Picks up sound very clear as if you where there. I love how it fits in your pocket. Within seconds, I can pull it out of my pocket and hit power and record- its action time. You can view your recordings much easier than having to rewind. If you want to erase, thats simple also. Overall the quality is excellent and you cannot beat the price. We have Canon products overall and have been very satisfied.

I was interested in purchasing a small video camera for upcoming vacations. I didn't want to spend much for this type of camera as it will not get a great deal of usage. However, I was seeking quality, and as a very happy owner of a Canon digital camera I leaned toward Canon's products. After reviewing all of the small video cameras offered on the market I came back to the Canon FS200 because of the attributes highlighted in their ads.

I am very happy with my purchase. It's size and quality certainly fit my needs. Again, the Canon people have not let me down.

This is the most versatile Camera slash Camcorder around for the type of price it is,it is so professional but so easy to use my daughter uses it also,you could,with all the programs,shoot a wedding and get away with it,the still pics are very crystal,its like video shoot video shoot it dont matter and you dont have to flip any switch because it has DualMode to do both ,anyway you need one or two or three etc...
