Camcorders reviews

Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

September 3rd, 2009 - While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money. 7

Panasonic SDR-H80

June 29th, 2009 - 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

JVC Everio GZ-MS120

June 25th, 2009 - 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 Zx1

June 19th, 2009 - Kodak's rugged portable video camera will appeal to outdoor shooters, once they get over the unit's strange controls. 9

Sony Handycam DCR-SR47

June 12th, 2009 - 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 Xacti VPC-CG10EXBK HD Dual Camera

April 7th, 2009 - Sanyo's entry-level portable camcorder is very portable indeed, but suffers with some design and implementation flaws.

Sony Handycam HDR-XR200V

March 31st, 2009 - 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 Everio GZ-HD40

March 12th, 2009 - JVC's CMOS-based Everio GZ-HD40 finally offers AVCHD recording, but a few shortcomings keep us from giving it a full recommendation. 19

Panasonic HDC-HS200

February 16th, 2009 - 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

Sony Handycam HDR-XR520V

February 4th, 2009 - 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
