Canon has released the Vixia HF200, its newer, upgraded version but unfortunately, it's out of stock. The limited budget we have could only afford this little piece of machine so it didn't really matter. By the way, this camcorder came with a 2 free Class 2 2GB SD cards and a tripod, so we're extra happy. All we need to do now is get ourselves a Class 6 16 GB SD card from ebay, and we're ready to roll! :)
To this new addition to our toy collection, welcome to our growing Canon family! Let's make memories (and capture them) together! :)
