What's more, the VIXIA HF200 allows you to record at up to 24Mbps, the highest bitrate in AVCHD format, for the highest quality image.

"Being a first time user of a flash memory based HD camera, the HF200 impressed me really !! The stuff is easy to use and is quite intuitive to operate. Few areas where Canon can surely improve - 1.
