testpilot 0 #1 August 6, 2009 I'm looking at the video market for new toys. Th FS200 is cheaper than the CX100 has more memory and has the thread the SX40 does not have. I was wondering if anyone has jumped it successfully. Dave Dave D830 http://www.skydiving.co.za Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #2 August 6, 2009 Of course it's cheaper than the CX100: it's not a highdef cam. It's got EIS which is good. No way to control the camera though, as a cam-eye or hype-eye will not work, so no visual feedback about what the camera is doing and you'd have to turn it on/off manually, no idea if it needs the lcd screen open for that which would be very annoying indeed. On some previous canon camcorders turning off autofocus for the day was impossible, very annoying that. I'd stick with the CX100, especially if you need the footage to be good (tandems, FS4 etc not just inside fun jumping). ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
