    While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money. 7

    The Panasonic SDR-H80 has the zoom power of a telescope and offers plenty of storage in a compact body, but the video results aren't nearly as thrilling. 4

    Two SD card slots allow for up to 64GB of storage, but otherwise the MS120 is a nice, albeit run-of-the-mill, flash-memory-based standard-def camcorder. 24

    Kodak's rugged portable video camera will appeal to outdoor shooters, once they get over the unit's strange controls. 9

    If high storage capacity, long zoom range and easy operation are above video quality on your list of needs, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR47 is well worth a look. 23

    Sanyo's entry-level portable camcorder is very portable indeed, but suffers with some design and implementation flaws.

    It's the active image stabilisation system that finally makes shooting lengthy handheld movies or on-the-go videos a viable option, which elevates this camera from average to good. 21

    JVC's CMOS-based Everio GZ-HD40 finally offers AVCHD recording, but a few shortcomings keep us from giving it a full recommendation. 19

    At AU$2,299, the HS200 sits at the top of Panasonic's new camcorder range. With a 3MOS sensor and 80GB hard drive, we think it might just make up for the company's previous HD offerings. 7

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review. 22
