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.
Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
Asus UX30

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.
