By Saturday morning I knew I was going to send it back. Let me state that I was not looking for anything fancy - just a small camera for taking videos of the kids inside the home and out. I trust Canon, but sadly this camera doesn't deliver. First, the pluses: from Amazon.com Movie files won't transfer without the old 'streaming' method. Movie files are actually in a ". MOD" format on the camera, sorry Canon I've never heard of it. This would have been a great camera about 3 to 5 years ago. from Amazon.com The quick set up guide which comes with the camcorder is ok but it doesn't really get into the menus and features like the Instruction Manual does, but you'll have to download it from the internet and print it out if you need to. This camcorder also has a video light which is a nice feature to have and the bundled software is not great, but it's not that bad either. Transferring the video to your computer from the camcorder is easy, it transfers as an mpg file and it'll open right up in Windows Media Player. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase and if you're looking for a decent SD camcorder for a reasonable price, and pretty good image quality, check this one out. from Amazon.com The FS200 is extremely portable to take with you anywhere you want to go. The picture quality is relatively good considering the processor and lens you are getting. from Amazon.com I just got the camcorder today with all excitement. But I am quite dissapointed with the video picture . I own Canon EOS so I got Canon for camcoder too. Big mistake. from Amazon.com It is a little bit shaky, but that is mostly because it is hard to hold any video camera still without a tripod. I have a great camera, so we haven't used the built-in camera other than to test it. The real downfall for Canon is that the software is TERRIBLE. My husband and I come from a technical background. from Amazon.com having owned a canon camera, the menu is close to the same so nothing new to learn. the "anti-shake" works great. from Amazon.com First let me review this camcorder. Pro: Small, lightweight, and Canon build quality. Very simple controls. from Amazon.com I would like something that transfers the files onto my computer. The manuals are useless, i read the whole thing and when i got to the part about transferring it said to refer to the software pdf, have no idea where that is. I'm very disappointed since this is a canon product. from Amazon.com The documentation (PDF) is practically useless. Mac users should plan to spend an additional $35 for software to convert the video files if you want to do anything besides watch the raw clips (which you can only do on the computer with free downloaded software). The Canon provided software for the Mac only handles the JPEG images. Camera works OK, nice video & sound, easy to use until you want to transfer files. from Amazon.com
