Sony Handycam DCR-SR65
A bigger image sensor, 25x zoom, 2.7-inch LCD screen, 40GB and hotshoe mark out Sony's mid-range standard-def hybrid Memory Stick/hard-disk camcorder, the SR65.
Sony Handycam DCR-SR46
Step up from the SR45 to the SR46 and you'll get an extra 10GB of hard-disk space for a total of 40GB. So, like the SR45, you get 40x zoom, video recording on to Memory Stick and a 2.7-inch LCD.
Sony Handycam HDR-TG1
Tall and narrow, this high-def camcorder from Sony achieves its proportions thanks to its recording medium: removable Memory Sticks. Its shape and price means it does sacrifice offerings present in most of the Sony HD range though, like optical image stabilisation, hotshoe and jacks for microphone and headphone.
Sony Handycam HDR-HC9
Recording to HDV tape, the high-def HC9 features 6.1-megapixel (interpolated) still shooting, detachable lens hood (pictured), optical image stabilisation, headphone and microphone jacks, and 10x optical zoom.

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.

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

This year's high-def hybrid camcorder from Panasonic is of the much more useful SD card/hard-disk variety. There's 60GB of on-board storage and 1080p recording at 25fps.
