Canon's mid-range HF R200 looks like a solid bet for affordable HD video. We gave a great rating to last year's HF R1x series, and this latest incarnation steps up the performance in a few key areas. The HF R200 is capable of true 1920x1080 resolution this year, and can also extend the zoom range out to 28x at decreased resolution (though Canon claims there's no visible quality loss). The effective resolution is also reduced when the dynamic image stabilization feature is turned on, but as we saw on last year's model, the upscaled picture still looks very good for the price. The R200 records exclusively to memory cards; also check out the HF R20 and HF R21, which record to, respectively, 8GB flash memory and 32GB flashy memory.
