Reviews

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SR45

    The Sony Handycam DCR-SR45 has a good design and reasonable feature set for its price, but the video quality doesn't measure up to the rest of the package.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-SR7

    If you've got the prerequisite high-def hardware in your lounge room and are in the market for a camcorder, this is the one to get.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-SR8

    Sony breaks through the 100GB barrier with this range-topping high-def camcorder. Like its SR7 twin, it is highly recommended.

  • Pioneer AVIC-HD3

    Pioneer, late to the Aussie GPS market, is hoping to make a splash in the top end of the market with the AVIC-HD3 -- an integrated double-DIN, GPS, music, video and communications unit.

  • Panasonic SDR-H250

    The H250 has a lot to offer today — notably a great lens, flexible storage and usable manual features — but it'll soon look as quaint and outmoded as VHS.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-SR1

    A very attractive high-end consumer camcorder, this is easy to use out-of-the-box, offering great features even if video quality could be better.

  • Creative Zen Vision:W

    The bulky but easy-to-use Creative Zen Vision:W and its nice screen will dazzle video lovers who don't require video recording.

  • Sony DCR-SR40

    Sony's DCR-SR40 is a solid, midlevel, hard-drive-based option, though still-image buffs won't be impressed with this camcorder's submegapixel snapshots.
