Unfortunately, Canon is no longer selling refurbished FS200 camcorders. You can certainly find used ones on eBay and other places, though. The FS200's main selling point is its stereo external microphone and headphone jacks. With an attenuation cable, it also does an excellent job at capturing audio from line level sources. But it is not that good in low light. Video taken under typical indoor lighting will be dark, grainy, and pale. For better results in low light, I recommend a Sony Digital8 or MiniDV tape camcorder -- but not their newer flash memory and hard drive Handycams with a tiny 1/8-inch CCD, which do even worse than the Canon in low light.
