    Come March, the FS200 will be the cheapest way to buy a Canon standard-def flash memory camcorder. For you money you'll get an effective recording resolution of 0.45 megapixels, 41x zoom lens and a 2.7-inch flip-out LCD screen, but no built-in memory.

    Canon's rapid ascent up the high-def, hard-disk camcorder totem pole continues with the HG20 and HG21 twins. Both share optical image stabilisation, 12x optical zoom and a CMOS sensor. The HG20 comes with a smaller 60GB hard-disk and misses out on a viewfinder.
