Reviews

  • JVC Everio GZ-HM200B

    There's no built-in memory or hard disk capacity with the HM200, just two SD/SDHC card slots. You do get a 20x optical zoom lens and AVCHD recording, though.

  • JVC Everio GZ-HD300

    Available in either red or silver, the HD300 features a 60GB hard disk, 20x optical zoom lens and the ability to record in the widely supported AVCHD format.

  • JVC Everio GZ-HD320

    Recording in the widely supported AVCHD format, the high definition HD320 sports a 120GB hard disk, face detection, 24Mbps recording and a 20x optical zoom lens.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

    While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money.

  • Sony Bravia KDL46EX1

    The Sony Bravia KDL46EX1 is a gorgeous looking unit that shows the tremendous promise of wireless HD technology. But we’d hold off on investing till it matures a little.

  • Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG10EXBK HD Dual Camera

    Sanyo's entry-level portable camcorder is very portable indeed, but suffers with some design and implementation flaws.

  • Sony Bravia KDL52EX1

    The Sony Bravia KDL52EX1 is the company's 52-inch "picture-frame TV" and features a wireless media box and a 1080p resolution.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.
