The Canon FS200 is an entry level flash memory camcorder for the budget-minded that can capture up to 20 hours of video on a removable 32GB card. Flash memory is a compact media that doesn't rely on moving parts to work; it's also easy to upload to your computer for editing and sharing on the Internet.

The FS200 features a 1/6" CCD image sensor, Canon's DIGIC DV II Image Processor, 41x Advanced Zoom, and a 2.7" LCD display. This camera also captures digital stills and comes with extras like external microphone and headphone jacks.

Soccer moms and dads will appreciate the Pre-record mode, which captures a full 3 seconds of video before you hit the button, ensuring that you won't miss the start of the action.

In addition, the built-in video light, Quick Start mode and Intelligent Li-ion battery all make your recording experience a pleasant one. The FS200 gives you the convenience of flash memory at an affordable price.

Recording to SDHC flash memory cards keeps things simple and frees you up from carrying around bulky media. Store over 20 hours of footage on a 32GB card.

The FS200's 1/6" CCD image sensor works in tandem with Canon's DIGIC DV II Image Processor to reduce image noise and customize the color and tonality of your video and still images.

Canon's 41x Advanced Zoom lets you record far off subjects clearly and in focus with almost no loss in image quality.

The widescreen LCD gives you a generous display on which to compose and playback your shots, not to mention an accurate view of what you're actually recording.
