I have tried over 4 different memory cards, non of them works on highest resolution, there is no HF200 XP driver on the CDs, cannot thus download any of the videos out of the camera. Thus for me the camera is now useless, cannot do anything with it....
Image quality, Zoom
Impossible to find compatible memory card that work on the highest resolution mode ; impossible to find the XP drivers to download the videos out of the camcorder

Save your money.
nice picture if you enjoy watching it only on the camera
lousy software, no mac usability, zero intuitive qualities about this hi tech time waster. I would buy Panasonic products before I would allow you to GIVE me this thing as a gift. What a joke

I love this camera! I have use it for soccer tournaments, vacation, and a wedding. The camera function is really nice too. Although the megapixels are not high, the shots the camera takes are still very nice.
The camera is very compact, lightweight, incredible picture quality, fast operations (because of flash based recording), versatile (though proprietary) shoe which allows for various attachments (like the DM-100 directional microphone)
The viewing screen could be a little bigger. There is no viewfinder for bright, sunny days. However, you can increase the brightness of the screen and purchase a hood that blocks light from the viewing screen. Battery time is a little low

The Legria HF200 is the cheapest model in Canon's revamped HD camcorder range, but at just under £600 it's still the most expensive model here.

The Canon Legria HF200 is a solid HD camcorder that boasts some useful, no-nonsense features. While there are better camcorders on the market, it does a great job for the asking price.

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

Indeed considering the asking price the quality of features and filming is top notch. The HD filming is certainly the best available in the price range. The good news is that the Canon Legria films AVCHD video to SD/SDHC memory cards – all important as...

Canon's acquitted itself quite well with a nearly identical trio of flash-based AVCHD camcorders, the HF10/HF11/HF100, and follow-up models HF20 and HF200 manage to improve upon their legacy. The only difference between the two models is color and...
