Best high-definition camcorders

About The Author

CNET Editor

Derek loves nothing more than punching a remote location into a GPS, queuing up some music and heading out on a long drive, so it's a good thing he's in charge of CNET Australia's Car Tech channel.

High-def camcorders, while not exactly cheap, are now more affordable then ever. CNET Australia picks a few that offer the best compromise between image quality and price.

High-def recording chews up space, a lot of space — think of the Cookie Monster being let loose in an Arnott's factory. Thankfully, lightweight flash media is now so cheap that it can be sprinkled as confetti on newly-wed couples. It also means that our current crop of preferred HD camcorders use flash memory storage only.

These camcorders are old models. When will CNET oz update to 2010 models?

At Jake, obviously you don't own a JVC camcorder. I am a proud owner of one and the picture quality is excellent both indoors and outdoors.I suggest that you take a look for yourself in store. Also how can all the professional reviews about them be wrong?

who is this jeff guy? some marketing guy for JVC? hes copied that comment everywhere in the reviews, its really annoying. JVC sucks big time, unless you have a bright sunny day, the video quality just drops to below crap to impossible to watch due to the noise distortion. Comparable to the cheap China made rubbish i see flooding the market, only difference is JVC is written on the side

Obviously the editor forgot about the JVC camcorders this year. I mean the GZ-HD300/320 has the largest optical zoom,largest size cmos sensor of that price range point ,highest quality bit rate and at a better price. It has also had some great reviews. Take a look at camcorder info, they claim its colour accuracy is excellent. Do what I did and see for yourself in a store. I have the GZ-HD320 in black. Very nice.

You have a good staff but I can not afford them since I am living in where it seems not possible to get them at this price.
