Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E review

With great picture quality and a healthy amount of on-board storage for a reasonable price, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR155E is a smart choice for anyone planning to use their camcorder often. Don't expect great results on the photo side, though. Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E review

The Sony Handycam HDR-CX115E is a small but surprisingly feature-packed, high-quality camcorder. It's comparatively cheap and easy to use, too. Still photos aren't much cop, but this is a fine video device in all other respects. Read more

Canon Legria HF M31 review

In the right circumstances, the Canon Legria HF M31's picture quality can easily impress. But poor low-light performance and a sorely misjudged control system let down this otherwise decent camcorder Read more

Canon Legria HF20 review

Compared to its competitors, the flash-based, high-definition Legria HF20 compact camcorder is pricey. But it goes a long way to justifying the extra expense by offering a relatively extensive feature set, top-notch performance and excellent video-quality in a functional, classy-looking package Read more

Canon Legria HF200 review

The flash-based, high-definition Legria HF200 compact camcorder is pricey compared to many of its rivals. But a relatively extensive feature set, top-notch performance and excellent video-quality go some way to justifying the extra cost. And it all comes in a functional, classy-looking package Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 review

JVC bucks the trend for standard-def camcorders to have low-res sensors with the Everio GZ-MG730, its top-of-the-line hybrid camcorder. Small enough to fit in your pocket, it manages to cram in a 30GB hard drive plus microSD card expansion and a 7-megapixel sensor Read more

Users:

3.5000 stars out of 5

JVC Everio GZ-MG77 review

JVC's hard-disk-based GZ-MG77 has sacrificed some of its features for affordability -- it only has a single CCD, as opposed to its more expensive 3CCD sibling, the MG505, and the zoom comes nowhere near tape-based models. If you're a casual user, however, who wants to record straight to hard disk, it might just suffice Read more

Editors' choice JVC Everio GZ-MG505 review

Editors:

Users:

3.5000 stars out of 5

JVC Everio GZ-MG505 review

JVC's Everio GZ-MG505 is a hard-disk-based 3CCD camcorder that follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the GZ-MC500, which remains an extremely impressive camcorder, even by today's standards. The MG505 adds a larger hard disk and improved optics, but it still records to proprietary video format, which may not please more professional users Read more

JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK review

The JVC Everio GZ-MG77EK records its video on an internal 30GB hard disk, which allows you to save as much as 7 hours of video at the highest quality or a staggering 37 hours of footage at the lowest-quality. It's extremely lightweight and compact, but the video quality simply doesn't stack up against that of most MiniDV or DVD camcorders Read more

Hitachi DZ-MV750E review

The Hitachi DZ-MV750E offers a compact, easy-to-use, lightweight design, several formats of DVD and a hefty 16x zoom, but the useless 25-minute battery life and poor quality video and still pictures make it very difficult to recommend, even at this price Read more
