Best high-definition camcorders

High-def camcorders, while not exactly cheap, are now more affordable then ever. CNET Australia picks a few that offer the best compromise between image quality and price.

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.
