  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

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

    Specs: Hard Disk , 1920 x 1080

  • Panasonic SDR-H80

    Specs: Hard Disk

  • JVC Everio GZ-MS120

    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.
