Canon MD160 review

Canon's MD160 is the top model in the company's MiniDV line this year. It offers a palm-friendly design, a 35x optical zoom and admirable colour reproduction, but it struggles against the competition when it comes to low light Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC46 review

While it was hard to make the case to step up from the DCR-HC26 to the DCR-HC36, the Sony Handycam DCR-HC46 is a logical improvement, with a noticeable bump in video quality for your extra cash. Casual videographers who care about video quality but don't want to break the bank on a camcorder should keep the DCR-HC46 on their short list Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 review

Sony Handycam DCR-HC36 is an affordable, small and lightweight camcorder. It has many similarities to the entry-level Handycam DCR-HC26, but the HC36 comes with a Memory Stick Duo Pro slot for still-image recording, as well as a remote control, which is handy when watching your tapes Read more

JVC GR-D370 review

JVC's GR-D370 is a standard compact camcorder with a low price tag. It features a relatively powerful 32x optical zoom and widescreen support, but its video quality does leave something to be desired. If you want a small, light camcorder without parting with too much cash this could be the one, but do shop around before you buy Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 review

The Sony Handycam DCR-HC26 packs a powerful 20x zoom into an extremely compact, lightweight chassis at a very low price. But while this easy-to-use, touch-screen-controlled MiniDV camcorder won't break the bank, its grainy footage and poor low-light performance won't win any awards, either Read more

JVC GR-D650 review

The high-end entry in JVC's line of D-series compact camcorders, the GR-D650 offers low-light performance that's better than you'd expect in a budget-priced camcorder. With its 1.3-megapixel CCD and an f/1.2, 15x zoom lens, this MiniDV camcorder turns in better video quality than JVC's more expensive hard disk-based Everio line Read more

Canon MVX460 review

Canon's MVX460 is more compact than its entry-level MV models. It offers a larger, higher-resolution CCD sensor that provides 1-megapixel still images and better video resolution. Canon has also addressed some design issues from previous MVX models, making this a great compact camcorder, if don't need to shoot in low light Read more

Canon MV930 review

As a general-use holiday camcorder, it's hard to level any real criticism at the Canon MV930. Years of experience and the decreasing costs of components have enabled Canon to deliver a very well-made camcorder for just over £200. If you can resist the magpie allure of the new DVD and hard-disk models, the MV930 is a bargain Read more

Canon MV960 review

Canon's MV960 is blessed with a palm-friendly design which includes a widescreen LCD, simplified controls and a 25x zoom -- one of the highest we've seen in an entry-level camcorder. It also delivers the same top-notch colour reproduction as its predecessor, the MV850i Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 review

At the top of Sony's MiniDV camcorder line, the compact Handycam DCR-HC96 earns its place with excellent video quality, a full suite of manual and automatic functions and above-average photo quality. Points are deducted for a small, fiddly LCD, but overall an excellent choice Read more
