Reviews

  • 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

    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.

    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.

    Specs: Flash Memory
