Canon VIXIA HF R200 review
Canon VIXIA HF R200 Full HD Camcorder with Dual SDXC Card Slots
Bottom line: great value-oriented camera that works well with my Mac, it is easy to use with simple controls - even if some of the advanced settings that I need to read the instruction manual. For movies with great quality is perfect and slight improvement in the quality of video available on high-end models may not be worth the extra cost.

Open the window.All items are packed securely in a box with the battery, which is just a sword in the box and the box is registered closed. I do not know if this has to do with the seller or manufacturer; I hope that all producers can get used to the box factory sealed with adhesive tape to fix the box so that he would stay. Sealed from the factory to the consumer. Maybe I'm a bit '. But the lack of security on the box of tapes and batteries capable of a bigger problem of quality control of Canon.


The first:.16GB SDHC card, I did not arrive in time, so I pull the card Kingston 4GB (Class 4) I have a short video that I wanted to test the first thing that I ignored the instructions for charging the battery. I just connect the camera and start using it.


Operations:.Operation and control of the camera seems to love it. I know that review sites like CNET to Canon to be less difficult to use the LCD touch screen, but I found them quite easily, without having to read instructions. External buttons and controls easily.


 
I use a Mac and it's easy to transfer video to iMovie for editing and uploading to YouTube instead of connecting the camera to the computer via a USB cable and I stuck the card in SD card reader. on the side of my MacBook Pro in iMovie and click the button that says, look for the camera ... and bingo, I was a movie. I did some quick editing and upload it to YouTube, I would say that the total time from the SD card to a video on YouTube that is not more than 10 minutes.
Honestly, I can not imagine why anyone would need to use the software supplied with the camera. I probably will never be removed from the package.
Complaints I've read in other reviews.I thought I heard one, the noise of the wind noise in the audio playback will be discussed during the shooting in a very quiet area. Certainly not anything I ever had to worry about. The background noise is louder than my computer, I heard a weak voice. I might not have noticed that if I had not read about it. Can be a problem with Canon models 2010, but not with this.Battery 2: Use the zoom and advanced features of dynamic stabilization of the image. (And other activities, such as the "ON" by default),


 suck the battery pretty fast. If you do not need these functions are turned off and the battery will only last for a long time. There is a button located on the side of the box labeled Auto "."You can disable this and run the camera in manual mode, and then easily use the "Auto" to activate the other switch. The tripod will be closed at all times. You can also reduce the brightness of the display if you are doing a lot of indoor shooting for a few more minutes of battery life. I spent a couple of hours of video images to test different features,


 both inside and out and use the HDMI cable included to watch the game on TV and I also have a battery to 75%, I have created. records including the highest quality mode, and that MXP does not seem to make a difference in battery life. People who say that the battery lasts only an hour to an hour, which means that the battery is the time to shoot video with the effective aperture. Hours of video for a long time. Full-length movie is only 90 minutes when I use it every day at the park with my children to carry spare batteries.

3 Performance in low light, I suppose if you're doing a lot of indoor low-light video, you can spend more money to get a camera with CMOS sensor technology, such as the Canon. Pro R200, but the details are better in low light conditions of some other brands and is set to manual exposure. This is useful when shooting indoor scenes with a bright window in the background. Automatic exposure is likely."Light" in these situations. It can be manually adjusted to compensate. The videos are a speck in low light conditions ... but our standard of quality that has been raised as technology has improved. It will not be able to produce a video on the camera as seen on TV, Duh!

4 The Software: Honestly, I do not understand, the camera makes the camera. If you need video editing software, buy from someone who makes the software for a living. As I said above, iMovie works for me.
