CNET Australia takes a trip through the best (and worst) of digital photography over the past five years.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Canon Legria HFS10

    The awkwardly named Legria HFS10 is the star of Canon's range of high-def flash memory camcorders. It features a larger 8.6-megapixel CMOS sensor, 10x zoom, 32GB of storage, optical image stabilisation and a plethora of inputs and outputs.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Canon XL H1

    Canon's semipro high-definition XL H1 video camera is a winner for event, reality, ENG and documentary shooters, but its price is high.

  • Sony DCR-HC90

    Though it has some design quirks and performance issues, the compact HC90 produces excellent video in both bright and dim light.

  • Sony HDR-FX1

    For the price, the best HD camera currently available.
