Expert review by : Chris Jager (techadvisor.co.uk)
It records AVCHD video to SD/SDHC memory cards, which is swiftly becoming the dominant video format in the consumer market.
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.

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...
In our opinion this is an excellent offering from Canon, and fills the problem of high end performance in mid range camcorders nicely. It would be nicer to have better recording in poor light, and for it to come with a larger SD memory card than it...

The Canon Legria HF200 is a midrange high-definition camcorder aimed at videographers on a budget.
Good image quality and a decent set of features at reasonable price, removable flash memory a bonus, traditional interface is intuitive
Not the best HD video camera we've seen, lacks built-in memory found in rivals, stills mode is only 3 megapixels

Canon's Legria HF200 is a flash memory-based high-definition camcorder
8GB SD card included in sales package, reasonable price, external microphone jack
Low-light performance isn't impressive, didn't deliver the leap in video quality we were hoping for

Canon Vixia HF200
Broad manual feature set unusual in a camcorder its size; excellent video quality; attractive, functional design.
Relatively expensive.
While it's more expensive than its sub-$600 competitors, the Canon Vixia HF20 and Vixia HF200 deliver a more extensive feature set for the extra money. The HF200, which lacks internal memory, is probably a better buy than the HF20, though the HF20's...
