Canon Vixia HF20

THE GOOD: Broad manual feature set unusual in a camcorder its size; excellent video quality; attractive, functional design. THE BAD: Relatively expensive. THE BOTTOM LINE: While its more expensive than its sub-$600 competitors, the Canon Vixia HF20 and Vixia HF200 deliver a more extensive feature set for the extra money.

Compare that to the beautiful HD quality found in Canon's VIXIA HF20! And the HF20 can also fit inside a jacket pocket or a purse. In addition, it can record video for an entire day! Oh my, how far we've come. Canon's...
