Canon Legria HF20
As far as mid-range camcorders go, there's not much to fault the Canon Legria HF20 for; the image quality is good, the autofocus speedy and feature list fairly full.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35
The FZ35 should be the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.

Canon IXUS 100 IS
The IXUS 100 IS manages to pair a sleek and sexy chassis with a very competent image-taking base and HD recording. If only it had a wide-angle lens and a slightly longer zoom it would easily win an Editors' Choice award.
