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

  • Lowepro Clips 140

    Lowepro's Clips 140 is a small, well-built bag that's perfect for a camcorder, but it can also fit an entry-level dSLR with a kit lens.

  • Canon HV20

    Canon's HV20 camcorder is a great choice for HD-happy amateurs, but its low-light performance could have been better.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-CX7K

    A great high-def camcorder if you intend to carry it in your handbag. If you've got a little more space, though, plump for a hard-disk model.

  • Panasonic VDR-D310

    Featuring a 10x Leica zoom lens, 3CCD imaging system and optical image stabilisation, the VDR-D310 produces good-looking home movies without much hassle.

  • Canon MD160

    If you're not fussed by HD, or recording to DVD or hard disk, then the MD160 is a perfectly serviceable, if otherwise unremarkable camcorder.

  • Panasonic SDR-H250

    The H250 has a lot to offer today — notably a great lens, flexible storage and usable manual features — but it'll soon look as quaint and outmoded as VHS.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-HC7

    More pixels, a more potent battery, and headphone and mic jacks are incremental improvements to last year's model, but the HDR-HC7 now looks like a AU$2,000-plus camcorder.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-HC5

    This upgrade to the HDR-HC3 has been dressed in some shiny finery and given a price cut to boot.

    In the lead up to this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Canon has unveiled 11 new camcorders, six of which have been confirmed for Australia.

  • Sony's 2008 Handycams are flash

    Sony's rejigged 2008 camcorder line-up has more cameras than are in attendance for a Paris "oops I've slipped over, how silly of me" Hilton event. We give you a run down of each new model to help you sort the wheat from the chaff.

  • Canon says camcorder future is flash

    With flash memory prices sinking quicker than the Titanic and available capacities ballooning, it's little surprise that at last week's camcorder launch, Canon declared that the future of consumer camcorders is flash.

  • Shock proof and hybrid camcorders star in Panasonic's 2008 line-up

    The rain held off for Panasonic's launch event at the Great Barrier Reef but there was a deluge of another kind: nine new camcorders from Panasonic.
