Reviews

  • JVC Everio GZ-MS130

    The MS130 is a nice, albeit run-of-the-mill, flash-memory-based standard-def camcorder.

    Specs: Flash Memory

  • Canon Legria HF20

    As far as mid-range camcorders go, there's not much to fault the Canon Legria HF20 for; the image quality is good, the autofocus speedy and feature list fairly full.

    Specs: Flash Memory

  • Flip MinoHD

    Although ultimate image quality and features are sacrificed on the altar of price and pocketability, the MinoHD should be on casual videographers shortlists.

    Specs: Flash Memory , 1280 x 720
