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.

We run through the pros and cons of all four formats to make your purchasing journey a little less like a trip through Dante's nine circles of hell.

Reviews

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 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!
