Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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-FX7

    The Sony Handycam HDR-FX7 is an excellent high-definition camcorder from a video perspective, but it's less satisfying if you're an audio control freak.

  • Canon HV10

    An excellent HD video camcorder with some annoying quirks, the Canon HV10 delivers almost everything a technophile wants for making home videos.

  • Sony HDR-HC3 HDV camcorder

    A good choice for families wanting to match a camera to their HD TV set. Automatic operation means not needing to know much to get pleasing images.

  • Sony Handycam DCR-DVD905

    Full-featured but somewhat bulky, the Sony Handycam DCR-DVD905 DVD camcorder matches its MiniDV competitors in most areas, while offering the convenience of direct-to-disc recording.

  • Panasonic NV-GS500

    While its predecessor had prosumer aspirations, the Panasonic NV-GS500 is strictly for casual videographers who want top-notch video on autopilot.

  • Panasonic NV-GS400

    The Panasonic NV-GS400 offers outstanding value in a camcorder for the discriminating consumer.
