Good to go,right out of the box.
I have taped my Grand Daughter at her Karate Class and birthday party and the camera was easy to use. I made DVD `s and they came out great. I highly recommend it. To take pics I recommend a tripod. The pics came out very good.

Decent camera for the money!
This camera is really pretty good for the price. Easy to set up and use. Battery life could be better though. I just wanted something for the video and ease of use. I use a separate dual mic recorder so the audio wasn't so important, but it works very well. Didn't even try the software so I don't know how it works. I use third party video editing software so that made it a mute point. Great camera for the money.

Good compact camcorder
I'm a fairly avid camcorder user. I still use an old Sony DCR-TRV520 from 10 years ago that records to Digital 8. It hasn't been until recently that we decided to buy a new digital camcorder. The camcorder that I purchased is the Canon FS20 (not FS200). At first glance I like the camcorder on many different levels. It's small, lightweight, and takes fairly decent video and photos. Navigation and features set definitely make it worth the extra money to get over the FS200. I happen to get mine on a Best Buy sale and it cost the same as the FS200. BTW, the main differences between FS200 and FS20 are the FS20 has the better image sensor, larger built in memory, and i believe there is some distance in the zoom capabilities. Otherwise they work, look, and operate exactly the same (my FS20 manual covers the FS200 operations).
Overall I really like the camera and cannot find anything to be really disappointed in. I went with the Canon over the Sony's primarily because the Canon uses the SD/SDHC cards. Most of my other digital equipment uses SD cards so I wanted to streamline the types of media I use. I also chose SD cards because I don't like the thought of a hard drive falling apart in a camcorder and really wanted a removable media option. The Optical and advanced zooms are great. Just make sure to have a tripod when you go really far. Buttons are nicely placed and navigation on the menu is easy. The photo images as well as the video are great and smooth. The camera does a good job adjusting in bright light and low light conditions. Focus is fast and ti does well focusing on near and far away objects. I do like that there is no gear noise recorded onto the video when recording. This was a problem with our digital camera that also takes video footage. I also like the option of adding a mic (perhaps a shotgun mic) as well as the built in mics on the front of the camcorder rather than on the side.
One of the cumbersome aspects of this camera is that transferring video to your PC is somewhat confusing. Once you plug the camera in the PC will not notice it until you use the preview mode on the camera (when you choose to look at the images and videos you recorded). However when the camera hooks up to the computer it tells you that the buttons will not work while connected and that you are not suppose to unplug the USB cable while the camera is connected. Well with instructions like that (they show on the camera's screen even after you have "safe removed" the camera's drives from the computer) you're left kinda confused with what to do. BTW the screen stays up on the camcorder even if you log out of your PC. Well, you don't have to shut down the PC. Once you ejected the drives, just pull the USB plug. But there is nothing in the manual to tell you this. I miss being able to also connect my camcorder and record directly to my computer from the camcorder through FireWire. But the transfer in SDHC is a lot faster than a tape format.
I expected a lot more out of the bundled software. In my opinion, other than some drivers, I just installed a bunch of programs that will not benefit me, but I suppose time will tell.
Things I would have liked in a camera that cost $300 plus (especially with advancements in technology), either a night (IR) mode or an eyecup viewer for those bright sunny days. Part of me is disappointed that many manufacturers are pulling these components off of their lower/intro cameras and you have to purchase a camera that costs at least $1000 to start getting any of these.
Bottom line, for a basic palm sized camcorder I think this camera is great. It has a nice feature set is very easy to use and carry. For those who want to make mini movies, save up and get something more substantial. Even though lightweight is nice for carrying, it also affects your ability to hold a camera steady. A heavier camera actually is easier to control shake when moving around. My 10 year old Sony can do more (video wise) than this Canon and gets almost as good video quality. However at the time of purchase the Sony was listed at about $850. So even though this Canon is nice and I will enjoy using it, I will probably still keep my old Sony working as long as I can.

Great quality for the price
I've only been using the camera for a few weeks. It is easy to use and seems to have a lot of great features. I have not been impressed with the bundled software but I don't have anything to compare it with as this is my first video camera. So far, I'm happy with my purchase. I did a lot of research to try to find the best value for the money and I think this camera fits the bill.

So far so good
This camcorder is so small! Fits easily in the palm of my hand. It has a great zoom feature...37X which is wonderful for close up shots. The flash memory is a big plus because I can just pull the card and stick it in my laptop to transfer data. It came with some whiz bang editing software but I have not used it yet. I bought the recommended bag to go with it and I have to say, the bag is a little too small for the camera and the A/C adaptor and other cables. All and all, so far, purchase seems pretty good.

Canon Cameras HistoryCanon Corporation is a world-known manufacturer of office equipment ranging from printers and fax machines to scanners and copying machines.
The amount of photographic equipment produced by Canon is rather moderate in comparison to their other products. But it is in demand around the world. Don’t forget that it is the photographic cameras that the company began its business with.
As early as in 1933 Goro Yoshida and his brother-in-law, Sabura, founded the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory in Tokyo. Their goal was to create a Japanese camera and make it known throughout the world. To begin with, the young people bought up and examined most advanced German models of that day. The enterprise was sponsored by Takeshi Mitarai, best friend of Uchida, a prosperous doctor, who later became president of the company.
In the following year, 1934, Japan's first domestically-made 35mm focal-plane shutter camera “was born” and was named "Kwanon" - after the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy. The trademark Canon was registered a year later.
The first consumer model Hansa Canon appeared in 1937 and the le... More About Canon Cameras |
