Five years of CNET Australia: Camcorders

Would you pay two thousand smackers for a camcorder that's chunky, heavy and only records in standard definition? Don't laugh, were this 2004 that's exactly what you would be doing, if you were in the market for a top quality camcorder that is.

Reviews

  • Sony Bravia KDL-46Z4500

    The Sony Bravia KDL-46Z4500 is a very well-featured performer that almost outshines Sony's flagship product at half the price.

  • Samsung BD-P1500

    The Samsung BD-P1500 is a great player to finally take the HD plunge with. The price is right, it looks and sounds great with BD and will also make the most of your DVDs and CDs.

  • Sony DAV-F500

    If you own a Bravia and movies are your main criteria, the Sony DAV-F500 makes a lot of sense. Its video upscaling produces quality images, but music lovers will be disappointed.

  • Panasonic DMR-XW300

    The Panasonic DMR-XW300 is a very versatile DVD recorder which includes dual-HD recording and excellent DVD playback.

  • HP 2133 Mini-Note

    Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.

  • Asus G2S

    Asus offers up a respectable 17-inch gaming rig with the Asus G2S. Its good looks, however, are offset by uninspiring gaming performance.

  • Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D

    The Philips Aurea 42PFL9900D may be very expensive, but its picture performance nothing short of stunning, and the Ambilight Spectra system stands out from the crowd.

  • Epson EMP-TW1000

    It may lack luxury functions, extended connectivity and the inky blacks of pricier models, but this is well offset by beautiful HD pictures, extended lens shift and ultra-short throw capabilities.
