Canon FS 200 Review

!±8± Canon FS 200 Review

As most of my friends know, I love making simple movies and trying to capture the emotions that are displayed at that moment. What I don't like is learning the intricacies of high-end camcorders. I dread dealing with complex manuals that, I am sure, was written by an engineer. While trying to figure out all of the mumbo jumbo jibberish in the instructional guide, those special moments are gone. Sure, you can get people to smile again, but it won't have the glow of the original one.

Many of the poorly created low-end camcorders that you find on the market today just don't deliver on their promise. What they tell you is that your video will look as good as a Hollywood movie. However, what you get are blurry and shaky videos that you are too embarrassed to share with anyone.

I knew that I had to get a better camera but at the time they were beyond my means. So, I patiently waited until the prices fell. The camcorder that I found is perfect for my needs. I selected the Canon FS200, and boy am I glad I did. The Canon FS200 price point is perfect for someone with my experience (or lack thereof).

Although I am far from being a technological guru, the Canon FS200 is extremely easy to use. I am been shooting video of everything in sight.
Today I videoed a deer as she wandered around in my yard. I took footage of birds as they played their bird games.

This Canon FS 200 review notes that this camcorder has some features that are amazing for any would-be movie maker. Here is a list of some of them:

• 680k resolution
• 1/6" CCD sensor
• LCD display of 2.7"
• 37x lens with zoom capability (f2.6 to 96.2) and manual or auto cover
• digital focal length of 45.8mm to 1,695mm (35mm standard camcorder equivalent)
• 5 LUX illumination capability
• video file formats include MPEG-2
• Dolby Digital stereo sound recording
• 10 minutes of 1GB film recording time capability
• image stabilization
• headphone and microphone jacks
• white balancing with auto, daylight, manual and tungsten modes
• scene settings for beach, fireworks, night, portrait, snow, spotlight and sunset
• auto and manual focus
• color filter effects including art, black and white, mosaic, neutral, sepia, soft skin and vivid
• video lighting

If you are not familiar with some of the items listed above don't let them alarm you. They are much simpler than you might think to master. This is all that you need to know. The Canon FS200 is very easy to use. It is also durable and is small enough to fit into your jacket pocket. Overall it is easy to put away, yet is instantly ready when it is time to use it.

Canon is recognized by many as the worlds top manufacturer of cameras and camcorders. The FS200 is worthy of being mentioned beside Canon's other products. Without a doubt the Canon FS200 is exceptional and comes with a strong recommendation from me.

1-4 Herbie (Robert Harsch) - "Night Driving w/ Canon FS200"

Night-time footage shot while driving, using hand-held Canon FS200 Camcorder. = = = SCENERY: Beginning with a left turn from N. 8th W., we travel down Main Street, Riverton, WY, making another left on Federal Blvd. That's one continuous shot from 0:33 to 1:15 (actual travel time was twice as long - clip is at 2x-speed), with effects added in a separate "track" in Nero Vision's "timeline" view. It allows only 1 effect at a time - no overlaps. Two edits & eighteen wheels later, we go through the triple tunnels of the Wind River Canyon between Shoshoni & Thermopolis, WY. Next, past the Cenex Oil Refinery in Laurel MT, which burns & melts into N. Federal in Riverton, a few blocks from where we left off, as we pull up to a convenience store. ... When I start a 600-mile drive at 3am, I MUST have coffee! The oil refinery clip had been taken a few days earlier at dusk, coming off I-90, on my way to get more coffee. = = = MUSIC: "1-4 Herbie" is a little jam I threw together 1992-ish on my 88-key Korg T-1 Music Workstation [8-track sequencer, 16-note polyphony], mostly to play with the phasing effect. This was recorded from the stereo outputs of the keyboard. I started with the 4-bar Drum pattern, added a 4-bar Bass pattern, then improvised the Piano & Sitar tracks in one pass each. I used a LOT of modulation & pitch bend expression on the Sitar patch, purposely trying NOT to have it sound like a sitar. At times it sounds like steel drums - fitting for the oil refinery. The title ...

James Gosling Interview at JavaOne 2009 (Part 1 of 3)

Part 1 of 3. Me interviewing James Gosling at JavaOne 2009. I know the camerawork is shaky, the audio has a lot of crackles and pops, and I'm obviously nervous, but this was my first interview and my first video. I hope you enjoy it. Equipment used: Canon FS200 digital camera, RadioShack unidirectional microphone (catalog #: 33-3038), and Sony ICD-PX720 digital voice recorder. Edited with: Audacity (audio), Windows Movie Maker (video) My thoughts on the equipment I used: About the only thing I'm sure I still like after making this video is Audacity. The Canon FS200 spits out videos in .MOD format only, which is a pain (at least on Windows, because it's not recognized by Windows Movie Maker). Either the RadioShack microphone or the Sony digital voice recorder are responsible for the all the crackles and pops present in the audio every time I move the microphone (there were even more crackles and pops in the audio before I edited some out with Audacity). As for Windows Movie Maker, it has an extremely limited feature set, and just like everything else Microsoft, it's incredibly frustrating to use for even the most basic tasks. But I guess it does have "Windows" in the name, so they do warn you. As usual, Audacity worked just fine. If I were to do something like this again, I would use two wireless lavalier microphones instead of a handheld, and I would probably feed them directly into the camera instead of into a separate recording device. I would also use a different ...
