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.

Reviews

Archos 605

The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.
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.
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 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.
JVC Everio GZ-MG505

A well-designed hard-disk-based camcorder, the JVC Everio GZ-MG505 produces video and stills that look great on TV. But its price might make you hit Pause.
Sony VAIO VGN-AR18GP

If you're happy to wait a few months for more Blu-ray content to land, the AR18GP is a powerful, multimedia-rich laptop whose only glaring omission is a TV tuner.
