JVC has announced four new midrange 30GB Everio camcorders featuring its new Gigabrid engine.

The highlight of JVC's Everio models for 2007 is the Gigabrid image-processing engine -- an update that's sorely needed, given the poor quality we've seen from past single-chip units. And it must be better than its predecessor, Megabrid, because it's Giga, right? They all have 30GB hard drives, and JVC has added support for high-capacity SD cards, as well as compatibility with the company's DVD dock. The MG555 gets a bump up to a 5-megapixel sensor, too.

      If you're not interested in being able to record HD footage, you'll find this standard definition camcorder a good bet.

      Panasonic SDR-SW20

      The cool factor of waterproof gadgets is high, even when there's a subsequent trade-off in performance. Anyone going any deeper than snorkel depth will need to look elsewhere, but at least the price reflects the compromises made for that cheerily tough exterior.

    • Sony Handycam DCR-SR45

      Sony Handycam DCR-SR45

      The Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 has a good design and reasonable feature set for its price, but the video quality doesn't measure up to the rest of the package.

      Canon's first flash-based camcorder, the Canon HF10, delivers excellent HD video quality and performance in a tiny package.

      The HMX10 makes a decent entry-level HD camcorder — with an awful lot of limitations.
