Pros   
Cons   
Conclusion The effort to get excellent Full HD quality with a small sensor and a small lens packed into a small body proved too hard for other manufacturers too.The options for manual control are hard to use on the GZ-HM200 due to unergonomical menue obstacles.Whats true for all of these minis: if you dont need your cam to be so totally compact you get more picture quality for 100-200 bucks more.The effort to get excellent Full HD quality with a small sensor and a small lens packed into a small body proved too hard for other manufacturers too.Due to the unergonomic menu the GZ-HD300s manual controls are hard to setWhats true for all of these minis: if you dont need your cam to be so totally compact you get more picture quality for 100-200 bucks more.
