Panasonic NV-GS80 review
The Panasonic NV-GS80 is a MiniDV camcorder available at the appeallingly low price of around £200. It produces excellent video, which is mostly clean and free of grain, and comes with a useful 32x optical zoom lens and optical image stabilisation Read more

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

Canon HV10 review
Canon puts high-definition video recording in your pocket, although to make room in said pocket requires removing more than £800 from it. Still, that makes the Canon HV10 the cheapest, smallest HDV camcorder to date. The HV10 has more going for it than just this month's novelty value, if you can overlook some design quirks 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 MV890 review
The Canon MV890's is not as sparse as its price suggests. The MiniDV camcorder is a surprisingly well-appointed model, which shares impressive core specs -- including a widescreen LCD and plenty of manual controls -- with Canon's more expensive models, the MV930 and its pricier MV960 Read more
