We like:
Broad manual feature set is unusual in a camcorder of this size; excellent video quality; attractive, functional design
We don't like:
Comparatively expensive
CNET UK judgement:
The Canon Legria HF200 is more expensive than its rivals, but delivers a more extensive feature set. Although it lacks internal memory, the HF200 is also probably a better buy than its pricier and slightly classier-looking sister, the HF20

Follow-up models the Legria HF20 and Legria HF200 manage to improve upon their legacy.
