  • Sony Handycam DCR-SX40

    Take the step down from the SX60 to the SX40 and you'll have to make do with only 4GB of internal flash memory. Other features, such as 60x optical zoom lens and YouTube uploading, remain though. You do gain a choice of colours (red, silver or blue) though.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-SX60

    The headline act in Sony's standard-def flash camcorder range, the SX60 features 16GB of built-in memory, YouTube uploading and a 60x optical zoom lens.
