Reviews

  • Canon MD225

    The entry-level camera for the 2008 Canon range features 41x optical zoom, miniDV tape recording, a 2.7-inch LCD screen and microphone input jack.

  • Panasonic NV-GS330

    A standard-def miniDV camcorder featuring a 3CCD sensor array and optical image stabilisation.

  • 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.

  • CES 2009 preview: Digital imaging

  • 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.
