Canon HG10 review
The Canon HG10, the hard drive-based, AVCHD-compatible camcorder, takes some chances. For starters, it has one of the most comfortable zoom switches in its class. Plus, upping its low-light performance, both focus and video quality, means it goes beyond other models to produce sharp photo and video Read more

Sony Handycam HDR-HC1 review
The HDR-HC1 is Sony's first stab at a single-chip model capable of recording 16:9, 1080i video. It incorporates a lot of the features Sony devotees love, including Super NightShot mode, a Zeiss lens and a manual focus ring. At this price though, it's competing with the 3CCD big boys, and the image quality just doesn't add up Read more
