Canon HF200 Camcorder

I discovered many things that I really liked when reviewing the Canon HF200 Camcorder. This camera has a lot of hype behind it, and I couldn’t wait to review it so I could find out if it lived up to the hype. And particularly because I’d heard of some negatives regarding a few of the features, I was very anxious to be able to review this camera.

I’d like to start by saying that the Canon HF200 produces amazing quality images with vibrant, real life colors. For example, I conducted my color test on my own garden and the roses were rose red and the violets were… well, violet. Skin tones never looked distorted or off color, and there were very few problems with light and dark images. So for the price I’d say this camera over delivers when it comes to the image quality.

During my review of the Canon HF200 I found it to be very comfortable to hold in my hand, very light weight and compact. Also, all of the buttons that you will use most during normal operation are easy to access and to use.

Unfortunately, I do have to confirm some of the negative rumors I heard about the HF200. During my review of the Canon HF200 the battery died after only 20 minutes. Thinking that I just hadn’t let it charge long enough I plugged it in over night and tried it again the next day. This time, the battery lasted a full 55 minutes. Now generally that’s more than enough time. Shooting a feature length film would definitely require you to buy a much more expensive camera anyway. The other problem with the battery is that it doesn’t seem to hold a charge even when the camera is off. Which means you’ll constantly have to have it plugged in and charging if you want to be able to use it on the spur of the moment.

The big thing for me regarding my review of the Canon HF200 is definitely the quality of the images, how easy it is to use, and the small size of the camera. These things, to me, make it well worth the price. However, if long battery life is paramount to you choosing a camera, this camera may not be for you.
