Sony's 2008 Handycams are flash

Sony's rejigged 2008 camcorder line-up has more cameras than are in attendance for a Paris "oops I've slipped over, how silly of me" Hilton event. We give you a run down of each new model to help you sort the wheat from the chaff.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SR42

    Given its mediocre video quality, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR42 seems overpriced for what it delivers.

  • 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.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SR100

    For those who want to do away with tape and don't want to worry about manual controls, this might just be the easiest HDD camcorder available -- but check it works with your computer first!

  • JVC Everio GZ-MG77

    The small size and massive video storage capacity of the JVC Everio GZ-MG77 make it a tantalising choice, but poor video quality keeps this hard-disk-based camera from being a tape- or DVD-killer.
