Canon's VIXIA HF200, along with a slew of other siblings, are slowly but surely making their way out into the loving hands of the general public. Our brethren over at Engadget Chinese managed to get their palms around one, and naturally, it took the opportunity to photograph it up and share with the world.

Has canon dropped HDD in favor of SDHC for all of their HD cams?

Just got delivery of my new Vixia HF 200, (the product is new) a little early for a review but I will offer my first glance thoughts. She's tiny (great), she's easy to navigate (great), the picture quality in normal house-hold-cloudy-day lighting is amazing (great), intuative (great, but I will still read the manual), The software is less then expected, in all catagories, to match the quality of the camera output. (not great), It will be unistalled. I purchased this camera at Dell Canada for $699 Can. That is a great deal after shopping around. Love the SDHC flash card method, and purchased a 16 and an 8 GB card. Pretty close to hands-on love (at first sight anyway).

Can you send me some test footage of people moving around in front of
the HF 200 inside in low light.
I'm asking because I'm selling my HDC-SD9 because when people move
around in low light the become ghosted and are trailed.
