Canon announced the Vixia HF200 back in January. Our review partner Digital Trends tested the HF200 and published this review. The Canon HF200 scored an Editors' Choice Award.
Quote from the review: "There are two unshakeable truths in the CE biz: Technology never stands still, and prices always drop. Although you'll occasionally kick yourself in the butt when you see the HDTV you bought drop by a third in a year's time, this overall trend is a good thing, especially for procrastinators. The new Vixia HF200 is a good example. This new entry-level AVCHD camcorder records at 24 Mbps, compared to last year's 17, which translates to better video on your TV screen. It also has an improved image sensor, a more powerful zoom lens, plus it costs less than the 2008 HF100. Now how bad is that? This is Canon's most affordable high-def model, and we were delighted to put it through its paces to see if it was worth the wait."
