  • All things considered, though, if I was looking for a camera in this price range, The Vixia HFS10 is the first and only camera that would be on my list.

  • Hi everyone. After reading this posts topic and your comments, I would be interested to know what is a fair price vs quality for a Canon Vixia hf 200. I found this offer bit.ly/3CTREq at https://wavee.com and the Vixia hf200 is featured for less than $250. I find that to be an incredibly good price..and I was interested to know your opinion. Also, you think the offer is for real, given the price?! Thanks and hope to get feedback on this. I’m really into buying that stuff.
