Canon Legria FS200 Review

November 7th, 2009 Posted in Digital Video Cameras

Solid-state camcorders are generally smaller and lighter than those that use hard disks or tape, but even among this month’s company, the FS200 is tiny. It’s not quite as slim as Sony’s HDR-TG3E, but at 225g, it’s the lightest here.

Canon has still found room to include a chunky Li-ion battery and a 37x zoom lens. The battery lasted for three hours and 17 minutes, long enough to record over 12GB of video. Emblazoned on the side of the camera are the words ‘41x Advanced Zoom’, advertising the fact that the 0.8-megapixel sensor can capture a little more detail even after the lens has reached its full 37x magnification.
