The Canon Vixia HF200 incorporates the Canon DIGIC DV III processor.  It is capable of 3.89 megapixel stills and 1920 x 1080 video at 24fps.  It comes with the standard Canon menu system, which I don’t love, but find acceptable.  The video camera is small and easy to use.  It’s a highly rated HD camcorder for a reason – it’s good.  The only thing I didn’t love about the video camera was the price – $599.  But, you get AVCHD are not real time – it has to do some processing in the actual transfer process.  So it does take longer.  You will love the nearly 3 inch viewing screen.  You will love how small it is and you will love the image quality.
